Ugly cat: examples of the ugliest breeds
Most often, kittens are called cuties for their cute, cute face. No one is left indifferent by the eyes, pink noses, and facial expressions. Who will argue that absolutely all kittens are real cuties. There are simply no ugly ones among them. They look good in any setting, under any circumstances.

Communication with a cat will bring a lot of positive emotions to the child and will contribute to the development of such qualities as responsibility, kindness, and friendliness. After all, it is unlikely that a baby will be able to harm a kitten with a cute, charming face.

What determines a cat's character?
The nature of the purr depends on many factors:
- color Veterinarians see a connection between the disposition of the purr and the color of its fur. In addition, a study has been conducted on this matter. Thus, the majority of respondents answered that white cats are capricious, know their worth and feel like kings of the situation. In addition, they love to be offended and do not always prefer affection. Black cats, on the other hand, are friendly and cope well with stress. They can stay with a person for a long time during his illness. Ginger cats are prone to pranks, while multi-colored cats are demanding and independent;
- physique. There is an unconfirmed opinion that thin animals are usually easily excitable and have an unstable psyche, and therefore are capricious and sometimes unfriendly, but massive cats with heavy bones are quite docile and friendly;
- education. If a cat is often offended, then it can become wild in the literal sense of the word. When they love her and play with her, she will certainly turn out to be an affectionate pet;
- floor. You can pet the cat at the moment when he wants it. In addition, males, like all men, tend to establish their own rules in the house. Kitties, on the contrary, are more affectionate. They are almost always ready for human contact;
- breeds A cat often inherits its character from its ancestors. As for outbred purrs, it depends on your luck - a kind of lottery. American scientists from the University of Lincoln, having “analyzed” 200 cats and their owners, were even able to identify 5 types of cat characters: human cat (very attached to the owner),
- hunter cat (freedom-loving hunter of everything that moves),
- cat-cat (prefers its own kind to humans),
- grumpy cat (independent and feels like the master of the house),
- inquisitive cat (constantly exploring something, loves to study everything around her).
Scottish Fold
The breed has become popular recently, but this has not stopped it from winning the hearts of millions of people. Plush fur, a cute small muzzle with hanging small ears give the animal a toy appearance. Children, when they see Scottish Folds, tend to cuddle and stroke them, which representatives of this breed do not really like. When two lop-eared individuals are crossed, non-viable offspring are born. For this reason, they wanted to abandon this breed. Later, a pattern was discovered according to which, in order to obtain healthy offspring, fold-eared cats must be crossed with straight-eared relatives. Representatives of the breed are distinguished by their willfulness. They don't meow like other cats, but squeak quietly. From the first months of life, lop cats are able to stand on their hind legs and freeze.
Ragdoll
The name of this breed is translated from English as “rag doll”. The amazing name was not obtained by chance: these cats have very weak muscle tone, which determines their behavior. They do not like to move around in space or climb high cabinets or shelves. Instead, they are able to sit all evening in the place where the owner has placed them, truly resembling dolls. Thanks to this feature, they are ideal models during photo shoots.
They are very kind and patient animals. Taking them in your hands, you feel how they can completely relax your muscles in an instant, surrendering to the power of a person. But you can’t suddenly throw them onto the floor or even onto the sofa, because the well-known cat ability to group during flight is dulled.

The cutest kittens with incredibly expressive eyes are representatives of the Coby breed. Their eyes are real bottomless lakes, large, blue and clear. You want to look at them without stopping.

Incredible eyes of a Coby kitten
There are other cats with an unusually piercing and mysterious look. These are animals with heterochromia - cats with eyes of different colors. Today this is not a sign of a specific breed, it is a mutation.
Most often, this feature is inherent in white Angora cats, “British” cats, Devon Rex cats, Maine Coons and “Scottish cats”. The more expressive the color, the higher the cat is valued.
For your information! Breeders are trying to develop a breed for which heterochromia will be a permanent feature, without causing any side effects. A photograph of a snow-white cat with large dark eyes has gained immense popularity on the Internet. This is truly an amazing contrast of color, and even such expressiveness of cat eyes.
Breeders are trying to breed a breed with different colored eyes, but so far everything is in vain

The mood in the house largely depends on the character of your pet. And if the cat is flexible and kind, then you are guaranteed calm evenings.
Siberian cat
Siberian cats get used to all household members, especially those who feed them. They are affectionate and kind. If there is a child in the house, then you can often offer him to feed the animal - thanks to this, he and the cat will become inseparable friends. But when choosing this breed, you need to know that the animal’s long hair needs to be looked after in order to avoid the appearance of tangles on it.
Siberian cats are kind and affectionate

Once, my mother’s friend gave us an adult Siberian cat named Barsik. It was an animal of impressive size. The cat lived with us for many years, but I only remember that he always slept in the territory allocated for him. No, he was still eating. I sometimes squeezed him, holding him close and caressing him. The cat reacted calmly and quite adequately to this behavior of mine, never “swearing”.
Reviews from owners about the character of the Siberian cat
Our Siberian Syoma grew up as a mischievous and playful kitten, running after his legs and throwing himself into his arms. But at the age of about six months he became kind and affectionate. I must say that the Siberian was a rare cutie, a tame and sweet cat. I took him to visit relatives who had a poodle dog and a cat, and Syoma very quickly found a common language with them and 10 minutes after meeting all the animals were busy in a single purring and barking ball.

I also had a Siberian, but she died in the summer. She was a very affectionate, beautiful creature... She constantly demanded communication, slept only with me
Maine Coon
The second (folk) name for the Maine Coon is “cat-dog”. It is explained by the special differences of the animal:
Sphinxes
Sphynx kittens have an unusual appearance, but have a special charm. They are very pleasant to hold in your hands, because they are very delicate and soft to the touch. Little sphinxes will follow in the footsteps of their owners, trying to involve them in fun games. Animals do not like loneliness and greatly miss their family members. They love walks. But in winter, they need clothing that will protect them from hypothermia.
Himalayan
Cats of this breed have a dark spot on their face that distinguishes them from other species. Himalayan cats appeared as a result of crossing Siamese and Persians, and therefore inherited their main distinctive features.
They love home very much, which is why they rarely go outside, even when they live on private property. These cute animals are very calm in character, but they show all their emotions very clearly on their faces: here you can see fear, bliss, jealousy, and joy.
Toyger
This breed appeared only in the 80s of the last century. The name of the most beautiful cat comes from two words of English origin: toy - toy, tiger - tiger. This is how we got a toy tiger with beautiful eyes and wonderful stripes located all over the body.
The Belgian cat was taken as the basis for developing this breed. The result was a designer breed with the appearance of a predator and a gentle character. There are about 40 nurseries in the world that specialize in breeding such beautiful toy tigers.
Neva Masquerade
The exact origin of these animals, which claim the right to be called the cutest cat breed in the world, remains unknown. Experts have not yet decided which of the two existing versions is the most plausible. According to one of them, Neva Masquerade cats appeared as a result of crossing Siberians and Himalayan cats, according to another, their ancestors were Siamese.
Representatives of this breed have a memorable appearance and relatively large sizes. Depending on the sex, the weight of an adult varies between 7-12 kg. The trapezoidal, wide-muzzled head has large, slanted eyes and medium-sized ears. The muscular body with strong bones is covered with long shaggy hair, the colors of which are reminiscent of its close relationship with the Siamese.
Maine Coon
The cats are huge in size and have an interesting coloration, which is why they are called raccoons. Fluffy giants reach seventeen kilograms in weight. They are excellent hunters. Their huge size does not prevent them from loving their owner limitlessly and being affectionate towards him. They are curious, love active games, and compete with other animals. They are jealous of the owner's extraneous hobbies. They want to be the center for him.
Bengal cat
Queen of the domestic cat world. Very responsive, smart and endlessly devoted to her owner and family. This cat is completely devoid of aggression. Kittens are quite smart, learn quickly and are able to perform many even the most difficult tricks. True, owners are not always happy about such a high intelligence of Bengals. These cats are capable, for example, of unexpectedly turning off the light, turning on the water, or stealing a tasty morsel from the refrigerator, while carefully closing the door behind them. Despite all their activity, these beauties are not annoying and practically do not meow. Look how cute the Bengal kitten is.
Agree, these kids are endlessly charming! These are the cutest kittens...
Munchkin
The modern history of representatives of this breed began in 1983, when an American woman named Sandra Hochenedel picked up a pregnant black and white short-legged cat on the street, nicknamed Blackberry. A couple of years later, the new breed was officially registered in the United States and quickly gained popularity.
Munchkins are some of the cutest cats in the world. Their breed is easily recognizable by its short legs and relatively long body. This feature will make them resemble dachshund dogs and make them stand out from other cats. The average weight of an adult munchkin does not exceed 4 kg, which is why it looks very elegant and miniature. And his entire body is covered with short or long hair of any shade. These cats are very sociable, intelligent and good-natured. And their incredible neatness and cleanliness makes them ideal for keeping in city apartments.
Siberian cat
A truly Russian breed. Known and popular almost everywhere. An adult cat, as befits a true Siberian, constantly shows its independence, is smart, hardy, with naturally good health and an innate talent as a hunter. Not at all afraid of water and... dogs! Despite her severity and, to some extent, toughness, she knows how to be affectionate and caring. Although the warm impulses of her soul are always unpredictable. The little “Siberian” is indeed a very cute kitten.
Burmese breed
This is a very beautiful breed of cat. Originally from Thailand, like all Asian breeds.
There are two directions of Burmese: American and European. The only differences are in color standards. For the American standard:

- blue;
- platinum (lilac) color;

They have genetic diseases - diabetes and hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood). Despite the disease, these cats live up to 15 years.
The Burmese does not have an undercoat, but this fact does not exclude periodic grooming. You can comb your Burmese cat with a rubber brush.
It is better to feed the Burmese with premium and super-premium food.
This cat breed is very popular. There are not very many breeders and nurseries in Russia. The average price of a Burmese is 25,000 rubles.
Persian kittens
Royal breed kittens can be recognized immediately. Their fluffy coat is a distinctive feature.
The Persian breed, unlike others, requires a lot of care and attention. The coat requires daily brushing, otherwise lumps will form. For the procedure you will need:
- metal comb (at least two teeth);
- soft and hard brush;
- talc, which you can buy at a pet store;
- air conditioners.
Often in kittens you can find an eye disease, which is accompanied by discharge, and also due to the structure of the nose, Persians have difficulty breathing, so pay due attention to your pet’s eyes and nose. If you decide to buy a Persian kitten, be prepared for careful care, and only then will you be able to feel the love that Persians are capable of.
Owners of kittens note that having such a pet is a pleasure. This is a kind animal that loves its owner. Persian kittens have a gentle and pleasant voice, but they use it extremely rarely.
Abyssinian cat
This graceful beast attracts attention at first sight. Proportionally built cats with a regal gait come from hot Ethiopia. Externally, Abyssinian cats resemble their large relatives - pumas. The standard colors are: all shades of red, silver, gray and fawn. Unlike their predatory relatives, these cats are affectionate, flexible and love to be the center of attention. Abyssinians, unlike other representatives of the cat family, love water treatments. Thanks to careful selection, these cats do not show aggression; they are always calm and positive.
American Curl
The American Curl or “reverse curl” has its own distinctive mark, which is visible to the naked eye.
This kitten is perfect for any family. He is cheerful and curious, and every new day is a new adventure for him. Curls require a lot of attention to their person; they love it when their owner participates in his affairs. This will be your best friend. Such a pet will be an excellent nanny for a child.
These are quiet kittens that will pamper their owner with gentle purrs. They are very clean and tidy.
They should be combed once a week, and the ears should be cleaned when they become dirty (do not try to straighten them, as you may break the hard cartilage). The American Curl has beautiful nails that grow very quickly, so trim them by 1-2 millimeters once a week.
Examples of caring for a cat to keep it cute
In order for the “cuteness” of a kitten to be preserved in an adult animal, it needs proper upbringing and high-quality care. Of course, each breed has its own characteristics, but there are tips that all breeders can use.
- The cat should be considered a full member of the family. You can’t raise her as the owner of the apartment, but you shouldn’t excessively show your superiority over her either. It is important to show your pet your love and care, then he will respond in kind. An animal will never be cute, soft and affectionate if its owner is too tyrannical.
- The cat should have a separate corner for eating. After all, by nature, a cat is a predator. And eating for her is a sacred activity that she loves to do alone. At this time, you cannot distract her or disturb her. A well-fed cat is a happy cat.
- Be sure to show care and affection and give the kitten as much attention as possible. Softness and tenderness will be carried over into the character of an adult pet. However, you shouldn’t overdo it; cats definitely need free time and space.
- You don’t need to pick up the kitten too often or drag it around the apartment with you. This will not cause joy on the part of the animal. It is enough to stroke a cat lying on a sofa, chair or floor. Trust must be earned gradually, then the pet will grow up sweet and loyal.
- Leaving a cat alone, even with a whole group of expensive toys from a pet store, is not an option. An ordinary rope with a candy wrapper on a thread is enough for the cutie, the main thing is that the games are shared.
Names for cats: Russian versions of beautiful nicknames
Following these simple rules will ultimately lead to raising the cutest cat in the world. The main thing is not to overdo it.
Important! You should not use your hands for joint games, which the pussy will scratch, allow her to tear furniture, etc.
Cute cats are not just pictures on social networks, they are real living beings who need constant care, affection and attention. You can choose the cutest cat of an expensive breed, or you can just pick up a kitten from the street. With proper care, the results will be the same. After all, the most important and sweetest thing about kittens is the love they give to people. In return, they require very little - a drop of attention, sincerity and warmth.
Snow-shoe
The Snowshoe's character is a mixture of the temperament of the American Shorthair cat and the "talkativeness" of the Siamese. These are curious and active kittens. Their favorite habitat is the highest part in the apartment, from where they can satisfy their curiosity.
Owners of kittens note that these are such smart animals that they are able to open doors and even the refrigerator on their own. Just like a dog, kittens may bring toys back for you to throw at them again.
These are healthy kittens and only occasionally they may exhibit strabismus, which was passed on to them from their Siamese ancestor.
They do not require special care. It is enough to comb the fur and trim the claws in a timely manner.
Persian breed
It was brought to Europe by an Italian about 400 years ago. Afterwards the Persians gained popularity in France. Especially Cardinal de Richelieu. This is the oldest cat breed.
Persian cats are not suitable for outdoors. This is a completely domesticated animal. Persians have a balanced and kind character. They are stubborn, curious, slow and proud. In a family they choose one owner, but follow on the heels of all family members. Persians are considered an ideal breed for children.
They know how to persistently ask for attention with their gaze.
Many people consider Persian cats to be “couch cats,” but this is a misconception. They are quite mobile when played with. These cats also love to catch insects.
Persian cats live up to 15 years.
Caring for these fluffies is quite difficult. Due to their thick coat, they need to be constantly brushed and bathed. They also have 2 disadvantages:
- defect of the nasal septum - wheezing and snoring;
- blockage of the lacrimal glands - they constantly “cry”.
You can feed both natural food and feed.
The cost of a Persian will be 3,000 - 30,000 rubles. The price, of course, depends on pedigree, color and other factors.
