The most popular cat breeds in Germany

Cats are among the most popular pets in Germany. They live in around 25 percent of all households and are estimated to number more than 15 million in total. Their elegant nature, individuality, and often mysterious character fascinate many people. But not all cats are the same: each breed has different characteristics and needs. We present the ten most popular cat breeds in Germany and reveal what makes them so special.

1. European Shorthair: uncomplicated and adaptable domestic cat

The European Shorthair is one of the most common cat breeds in German households. It is considered robust, healthy, and extremely adaptable. In terms of character, these velvet paws are considered very versatile. Some are cuddly and people-oriented, while others are independent and freedom-loving. These popular cats are happy both indoors and outdoors. Their short coat requires little attention and their natural resilience makes the breed particularly easy to care for. The European Shorthair is an excellent choice, especially for first-time cat owners and families with children.

2. British Shorthair: a calm and balanced breed The British Shorthair - often abbreviated to BSH - is known for its thick, plush coat and round head. It has been one of the most popular breeds of cat in Germany for years, with a calm, friendly, and balanced nature. It is not pushy, but enjoys being close to its humans.

British Shorthair cats are ideal for working people, as they are happy to be left alone. Their gentle temperament also makes them a good choice for families. Grooming and caring for these cats is relatively uncomplicated, which further adds to their popularity.

3. Bengal cat: a lively and exotic cat breed

With its wild, leopard-like coat, the Bengal cat immediately catches the eye. Visually, it resembles a small wild cat. However, it is affectionate and playful in nature. It is one of the most active cat breeds and needs a lot of stimulation. Bengals are curious, enjoy climbing, and love challenges. They are therefore particularly suitable for experienced cat owners who can devote sufficient time to play and interaction.

4. Ragdoll: the relaxed, cuddly cat with long hair

Ragdolls are known for their calm, gentle nature. Their name can be translated as "rag doll" and describes their relaxed manner when picked up. This cat breed is extremely people-oriented and often follows its owners around the entire home.

With their long, silky fur, Ragdolls look elegant yet remain easy to care for. These velvet paws are considered ideal indoor cats and usually get along well with other pets and children.

5. Siamese cat: communicative and intelligent velvet paws

One of the oldest and best-known cat breeds worldwide is the Siamese cat. With its blue eyes and characteristic coat pattern, it is unmistakable. Siamese cats like to communicate and are extremely talkative with their humans. They form a strong bond with their caregivers and do not like to be left alone. If you decide to get a Siamese cat, you should have plenty of time and attention to devote to your companion. These loyal and intelligent four-legged friends also enjoy having a companion cat.

6. Norwegian Forest Cat: a robust and playful companion

The Norwegian Forest Cat originates from Scandinavia and is adapted to colder temperatures. Its thick, water-repellent coat protects it from the elements. Despite their wild appearance, these cats are friendly and playful.

They enjoy climbing and actively exploring their surroundings. Norwegian Forest Cats feel particularly at home in large apartments with plenty of opportunities for activity or in a free-roaming environment.

7. Persian cat: a calm and majestic cat breed

The Persian cat is probably one of the most traditional breeds of cat. Their long, lush coat and calm nature give these velvet-pawed cats an elegant appearance. They prefer a relaxed environment and love routine. To prevent matting, you should groom a Persian cat's coat daily. If you can devote enough time to grooming, you will find this purebred cat to be a gentle, well-balanced, and cuddly companion.

8. Angora cat: elegant with a lively temperament

Angora cats are often referred to as Turkish Angoras. They are graceful, medium-sized cats that impress with their medium-length, silky coat. They are considered intelligent, playful, and curious.

Unlike many quiet long-haired breeds, the Angora cat is quite active and loves to be the center of attention. It forms a close relationship with its humans, is often very affectionate, and yet retains a certain independence.

9. Sacred Birman: gentle and family-friendly nature

The Sacred Birman combines an elegant appearance with a particularly friendly nature. Their medium-length coat, bright blue eyes, and white "gloves" on their paws make this medium-sized cat breed unmistakable. These velvet paws are considered well-balanced, playful, and very people-oriented. They are not intrusive, are generally good house cats, and get along well with other pets and children.
