Cat breeds

On WikiAnimals, cat breeds are explained in plain language: where they come from, what they look like, their character, care, diet and possible health problems.

Each profile starts from the official breed standard published by the Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) and from veterinary sources. For each breed you can also see who it suits, why blood type matters for kittens and how to choose a kitten from a breeder.
