Most cats are covered with fluffy hair (with the exception of "hairless" breeds such as the Canadian Sphynx, Ukrainian Levkoy and others). However, some cat breeds are fluffier than others. And the owners of the "purr" with a silky fur coat have a hard time. They need to train their pets to comb or brush to avoid tangles. Cat hair is becoming an indispensable attribute of the owners' clothing and furniture. But all the shortcomings are overshadowed by the pleasure of stroking a long-haired mustachioed friend.
Introducing you Top 5 Fluffiest Cats According to the Cat Fanciers Association - an international organization engaged in breeding and breeding of new breeds "purr".
5. Siberian cat
The harsh weather conditions of Siberia (a lot of snow, severe frosts and a piercing wind) contributed to the appearance of a dense and long hair in the Siberian cat, which does not allow moisture to pass through. And the “Siberians”, as a rule, hold their fluffy tail high and proudly. The advantage of this breed is its hypoallergenic fur. Thanks to this feature, Siberian cats can be kept by many people who are allergic to other breeds.
4. Ragdoll
Animals of this breed show great interest in communicating with their owners. They often run to greet the owner or hostess when he or she returns from work, and then follow the person around the house. The long hair of cats is plush and silky to the touch and needs minimal grooming. Thanks to the love for people and a calm attitude towards any actions in relation to oneself, the ragdoll is an ideal pet for families with children.
3. Norwegian forest cat
The Norwegian Forest Cat's luxurious coat is thick enough to survive in the harsh conditions of Norwegian winters. These cats are moderately active, sensitive and intelligent, and their coat does not require daily grooming, unlike other representatives of the semi-longhair cats. Weekly brushing is sufficient, with a little extra attention in the spring.
2. Maine Coon
The second place in the ranking of the fluffiest cats in the world belongs to the aboriginal breed, which originated from cats that live on farms in the US state of Maine. Maine Coons are known for their long, shaggy coat with a thick undercoat, friendly temperament, and large size. Males can weigh up to 12 kilograms, and females - 8 kilograms. The fur on the head and shoulders of Maine Coons is short, with the exception of the collar, and on the belly, back and sides it is long. A special pride is a long, very fluffy tail.
1. Persian cat
The list of the fluffiest cat breeds is headed by the Persian breed. Probably the most famous in the world for its long (up to 12 centimeters) and soft hair and gentle, phlegmatic character. Their soft-touch coat requires daily care to prevent tangling and hairballs. "Persians" are called "couch" cats for their calm nature, but in games these fur balls can be very mobile.
