We love our pets with all our heart. An independent fluffy creature that has settled on its knees, in an incomprehensible way, can calm us and make us smile. Mutual traction to each other for a long time contributed to the increase in the breed of domestic cats. If one likes animals of small sizes, others are delighted with the biggest cat in the world.
The biggest cats
The top of the biggest cats we'll start with the American Bobtail . This very gentle creature with a complaisant character looks like its wild ancestors. The muscular body of the cat is covered with short or half-long hair of the most diverse color, and the adornment is a small, mobile tail. The weight of males sometimes exceeds 7 kg.
The representative of Russia Kuril Bobtail, we will put on the tenth place in our list. The cat has a playful character and perfectly tolerates frosts. She has no fear of water and, if possible, will not refuse to go fishing. A distinctive feature of the Kuril Bobtail is the tail in the form of a pompon.
The ninth place is taken by the cat of the Chartreuse breed (Cartesian cat). It is an excellent companion for those who like to travel, as it well tolerates travel. Her silent nature enjoys loneliness with pleasure and at the same time remains loyal to her master. Large males weigh from 6 to 7 kg.
The pixy-bob breed that is bred in America will be our eighth. Outward resemblance to the trot gave her a formidable look. But those who came across these animals, are touched by their shyness and calmness combined with dog behavior. The main advantage of the breed is mnogopalost. There are males weighing up to 10 kg and females up to 5 kg.
Blue-eyed phlegmatic ragdoll cats with an average weight of males up to 9 kg occupy the seventh step. Loyal to their master, they allow you to do anything with you. A somewhat slow reaction of pets to what is happening does not allow leaving them unattended on the street. Cats are dangerous even a small height, as nature has deprived them of the ability to land on their feet.
The sixth in the list will bring a passionate hunter, a Norwegian forest cat . Large in size (up to 8 kg), it has a soft character. Because of the frequent lines, the double semi-long coat of pets requires constant care.
One of the oldest breeds of Turkish baths in our ranking is in fifth place. The length of the males sometimes reaches a little more than a meter. Her elongated body is covered with snow-white wool with God's marks. The independence of the pet is manifested in the reluctance to sit on your hands. A cat loves water, an amateur fishing and immediately fascinates us with his multi-colored eyes.
Another representative of Russia - the Siberian cat , reaching in weight up to 9 kg of males and females up to 7 kg, is on the fourth place of the top. She has a massive body with thick hair and undercoat, allowing to survive frosts. She gets along well with other animals, except for rodents, because by nature she is an excellent hunter.
Representatives of the rare breed chauci in third place. They are restless, amazed by their grace and external resemblance to the trot. Individual specimens weighed up to 14 kg.
The giant Maine Coon cat ranks second. This is a very expensive and hardy breed, with a beautiful coat and even more beautiful tail, reaching the size of the animal. It is interesting that a quiet and gentle meowing does not match with the size of the cat.
The top 10 of the largest cats are headed by savannah . It is distinguished by the fact that pets are incredibly smart, they can easily be trained. It is best to keep this breed in spacious rooms, because cats are constantly active. They look like leopards with beautiful large standing ears. Their weight can reach 20 kg.
The largest wild cat
The largest wild cat is represented by the Amur tiger . These lovely animals of the cat family in nature meet over 300 kg of weight with an increase of more than three meters. It is a pity that the appearance of man in their habitat, as a rule, leads to the degeneration of the breed.
