1. Savannah: big doesn't always mean better, but the size of these hybrid felines is definitely impressive. Savannahs are more extensive in size, and they Look like a wild cat; the savannah takes its origins from wild African cats and domestic breeds and usually arrives with beautifully spotted coats. This exotic look, combined with their agility, grace and strength, makes them genuinely unique. They can also be very loyal pets, so much so that their behaviour has been compared to dogs by some, but make no mistake, they are bold creatures. They also do this thing called a snake hiss, which can take you off guard. Savannas are open to being leashed and taken outside, although they can suffer from emotional problems and don't always take to people right away; thus, pet savannahs need time, understanding and, most of all, love.  

2. Ragamuffin: If you are looking for a kitty who's going to be friendly right from the jump, then be sure to check out some ragamuffins. They're very mellow; they're what I call the lap dogs of the cat. Ragamuffins also tend to be burly and rather muscular, which is excellent for playtime as well as for homes with excitable little kids' vanity muscles; I use all of these, really even the large neck ones. They help me sleep upright on aeroplanes since their fur is longer than some other breeds; though it should be taken care of to avoid knots and matting, it's nothing unmanageable. Ultimately, the ragamuffin is a perfect easygoing buddy that's sure to bring you plenty of love. They establish powerful bonds with their owners.

3. Selkirk Rex: speaking of thick-furred cats, the Selkirk rex breed is usually easily distinguishable from other cats. They come in any colour. They're considered the cats in sheep's clothing because of their very dense, curly coat. Interestingly enough, rumour has it that they were initially named after the original breeder's stepfather. It's practically impossible not to swoon as you look at these adorable creatures. The fancy felines are pretty lovable despite their exclusive pedigree and are often found to be playful, calm, and cuddly. Typically, they are goofy cats. Sometimes, they're the type that will just run around and fall off of something. A Selkirk rex is likely to want to snuggle, have fun, or await some quality bonding time.

4. Burmese: what's in a name? Well, the Burmese breed is probably called that because it's thought that their ancestry has origins in Burma; these cats are often dark brown. Although lighter shades are not uncommon, and they're unafraid of strangers and family alike, one other unique attribute of Burmese is their excitability and personality. They're immensely engaging. They follow you around the house. They're happy animals. They love to meow and make their presence known wherever they go. The Burmese could also be called the chatty Kathy of the cat world. So, if you prefer a pet that's seen rather than heard, Burmese probably aren't for you. But if you want a playful friend who'll tell you exactly what they're thinking, these beautiful cats are a must-have.

5. Berman: these mysterious and regal-looking cats are, to put simply, terribly pretty creatures. It's no wonder they've been called the sacred cats of Burma. Their hair is long and soft, and they almost always have bright blue eyes. The gloved appearance on their paws also sets them apart. They have mittens and laces, which are white tips on the feet and front paws. They all have to have blue eyes. Their history is rather dramatic, as they were reportedly almost made extinct in the chaos of World War II. Thankfully, beans are still around for us to cherish today. These gorgeous cats require attentive owners as health issues like kidney disease can become common, but they can

live for many years. Simply put, there's something to behold stand back.
