What breeds of cats are considered the smartest?

It is believed that the most intelligent cat breeds are those whose history goes back centuries. Natural selection and evolution have an effect: in order to survive, one must not only be strong and strong, but have ingenuity and intelligence. It is impossible not to mention cats without a breed, which very often, according to various indicators, can give odds to any aristocrat. But, if you still dream of a thoroughbred intellectual, pay attention to the following breeds:

Sphinx The owners of cats of this breed assure: their pets are so smart that they can perform tricks. It is quite possible that this is so, because sphinxes are sociable, quickly get used to the owner and are ready to please him in all possible ways. In addition, these cats are easily accustomed to the tray and know exactly what mood their beloved owner is in right now.

Oriental cat Graceful and incredibly sociable Orientals are another contenders for the title of “The Smartest Cats”. A pet of this breed makes many sounds, each of which is endowed with meaning. So, if you are a happy owner of an oriental cat, be sure: she meows for a reason, most likely, the pet wants to tell you something.

Siamese cat Another type of rather intelligent cats from the Siamese-Oriental group is the Siamese. It is generally accepted that the Siamese have a difficult character: they are independent, self-sufficient and can stand up for themselves. However, these pets are very devoted to the owner and quite jealous. But, if the Siamese is imbued with sympathy for you, be sure: this cat will do anything for the sake of your love. And to demonstrate her feelings, like all intellectuals, she will be in the most non-trivial way.

Abyssinian cat Active Abyssinians never tire of surprising their owner with their ingenuity and curiosity. They will surely know what is inside the flower pot and how to climb the tallest cabinet. Curiosity is in the blood of the Abyssinians, as is the ability to hear and listen to the owner. This cat feels the mood of the owner and will gladly share both fun and sadness with him.

Maine Coon The royal appearance of the Maine Coon corresponds to the character of a cat that knows its own worth. Representatives of the breed, like dogs, understand the owner without further ado. Calm, majestic and independent, these cats will not play and have fun all day long, but will gladly walk around their possessions, watching the household. The Maine Coon has an excellent memory. Having offended a cat once, do not expect favors: you will be met coldly and arrogantly.

Bengal cat A domestic leopard, the Bengal cat also claims to be one of the smartest breeds. These cats are curious, attentive and very emotional. But in order to realize their potential, they must always be close to a person. It is necessary to play with them, to talk and in general to occupy them in every possible way.

It is difficult to say which cat breed is the smartest. The mental abilities and intellectual potential of pets do not depend on the origin, but daily activities, communication and training with your pet will allow you to reveal the abilities of the animal.
