Most cats are covered with fluffy hair (with the exception of "bare" breeds, such as the Canadian Sphynx, Ukrainian Levka and others). However, some breeds of cats are more furry than others. And the owners of the “purr” with a silky fur coat have a hard time. They need to accustom their pets to a comb or brush in order to avoid the appearance of warlocks. Cat hair is becoming an indispensable attribute of clothing and furniture owners. But all the flaws are overshadowed by the pleasure of stroking a long-haired, whiskered friend.
Introducing you top 5 most furry cats according to the Association of Cat Lovers - An international organization engaged in the cultivation and breeding of new breeds "Murlyk".
5. Siberian cat
Severe weather conditions in Siberia (a lot of snow, severe frosts and a piercing wind) contributed to the appearance of a dense and long coat that does not let moisture in a Siberian cat. And the Siberians, as a rule, hold their furry tail high and with pride. The advantage of this breed is hypoallergenic fur. Due to this feature, many people with allergies to other breeds can hold Siberian cats.
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 care. Thanks to the love of people and a calm attitude to any actions in relation to oneself, ragdoll is an ideal pet for families with children.
3. Norwegian Forest Cat
The luxurious coat of the Norwegian forest cat is thick enough to allow it to survive in the harsh conditions of the Norwegian winters. These cats are moderately active, sensitive and intelligent, and their hair does not require daily grooming, unlike other representatives of semi-long-haired cats. A weekly combing will be sufficient, with little extra attention in the spring.
2. Maine Coon
The second place in the ranking of the most furry cats in the world belongs to the native breed, which was descended from cats living on farms in the American state of Maine. Maine Coons are known for their long, shaggy hair with dense undercoat, friendly character, and large size. The weight of males can reach 12 kilograms, and females - 8 kilograms. The fur on the head and shoulders of the Maine Coon is short, with the exception of the collar, and on the stomach, back and sides it is long. A special pride is a long, very fluffy tail.
1. Persian cat
The list of the most furry cat breeds is headed by the Persian breed. Probably the most famous in the world, due to its long (up to 12 centimeters) and soft hair and gentle, phlegmatic nature. Their pleasant to the touch fur coat requires daily care to prevent tangles and lumps. “Persians” are called “sofa” cats for their calm nature, however in games these fur balls can be very mobile.
