Different coats. Different personalities.

Cat breeds can look very different from one another, but every cat is an individual.

Five popular cat types

Maine Coon

A large, sturdy cat with a long coat, tufted ears, and a famously fluffy tail.

Siamese

A sleek cat recognized by its blue eyes and darker coloring on the face, ears, legs, and tail.

British Shorthair

A round-faced cat with a dense coat, solid build, and often calm presence.

Bengal

An athletic cat with a spotted or marbled coat that gives it a wild-looking appearance.

Sphynx

A nearly hairless cat known for warm skin, large ears, wrinkles, and an outgoing nature.
