As one of the most cherished animals on the planet, cats have been adored for centuries and some have even been thought to bring luck to families.
With cats developing a ‘meow’ many centuries ago in order to communicate with humans, their intelligent and sheer adorable nature can often make them a man’s best friend - even if dogs try to tell you differently!
However, if you are looking to add a cat that will keep you company and make sure you know you’re loved with the love of a cat chat, then these 10 beautiful and bold breeds are sure to suit your needs, according to Purina.
*While cat breeds do share similar traits, we advise each cat do have their own personality and individual needs, which is of primary importance when taking a cat into your home. Please be aware of this if adopting a cat.
