How to choose the cat breed that’s right for you

How to choose the right new pet? Purebred cat or mestizo – the choice is yours. Visiting a shelter is a great opportunity to see animals that are looking for a home. There are both purebred cats and mixed breed cats.

When choosing, consider your lifestyle and the opinion of your family. It’s also important to think about the regular grooming your new four-legged friend needs. Long-haired cats, such as Persian and Himalayan cats, need to be brushed every day. Do you have the time and patience for this? Aristocratic cats may have health problems typical of this breed, and mestizo cats are usually more hardy.

In addition, do not forget about the temperament of the pet. The nature of a purebred cat can be determined by the breed, but you cannot be 100% sure in this matter. If you have settled on a particular kitten or cat, visit your future pet at the shelter several times and try to understand what kind of character he has. See how he treats your child. Don’t rush into a decision.

If the soul lies in thoroughbred kittens, take the time to study information about different breeds of cats: there are more than seventy of them. Check out the breed catalog at HillsPet.com for a great introduction to the topic.

Once you’ve decided on the perfect cat for your apartment, be sure to find the right food that will meet all of your kitten’s needs.
