You have dog people and you have cat people. In the Netherlands there are a lot of people with a cat or with a cat at home. This is of course super, a cat in the house is very cozy! In this blog we look at which cat breeds are most popular among the Dutch.
- Blue russet
This cat is always beautiful to see, it is just a cat that is not very common. So if you have one at home then you are quite rare! This cat species is known for its blue gray fur, this fur is quite smooth giving the cat a slender figure. So it is really an elegant cat, a cat that generally stays inside and does not go outside very often. So this is incredibly nice for the people who want a real house cat for the children to play with.
- Somali
This cat species we do see very often in our country again. It is a cat species that can actually have many different coat colors. Usually the coat is brown orange but it can also happen that this cat has stripes. It is a cat that likes to be outside, therefore it is really a cat species that fits perfectly with people with a garden. This way the cat can go outside to discover the world!
- Sacred Birman
Surely this is a very special cat, as this cat species has Persian ancestry. The beauty of this cat species is its white and brown coat. Unlike other breeds, this coat is much thicker than normal. This really gives you a cat to cuddle. Ideal for people who want a little extra coziness in the house or who have children who would like to play with a cat.
- Munchkin
If you like small cats then this breed of cat is really for you. In fact, this breed has a condition that makes them always stay small. So if you find kittens very cute then with the Munchkin you can actually always enjoy those little critters. And of course, as another advantage there is that they don’t eat so much. It is a cozy kitten for the home and he can live just fine in a smaller home.
- Bengal
This cat species has not been known in the Netherlands for very long. This breed is made to look just like a wild cat, a real quadruped. The pointed ears look a bit like a cougar. This cat is really ideal for people who find a normal cat a bit standard. The only thing is that they are a bit more expensive considering the treatments, but then you have an incredibly cool cat.
- Savannah
Another special breed of cat, this cat also has a Persian appearance. In this cat you will also find the familiar pointed ears, something that makes for a very special appearance. It is a cat that likes to be outside, so it is useful if you have a little space at home if you have a garden that the cat can explore.
- Norwegian Forest Cat
This cat species comes from Norway, which is reflected in its thick coat. It is a cat that can survive in colder temperatures, so certainly suitable for the Netherlands. The wonderfully thick coat is super to stroke through. In general it is a quiet cat, so it will sit on your lap or on the couch. For people who like a quiet animal for some extra coziness!
- Ragdoll
This cat is very social, so it is really a dependent cat. The cat is quite large, so a spacious home is useful to ensure that the cat can walk around enough. It is a cat with a wonderfully soft coat that always likes to rub its head or play with you. So a Ragdoll cat is suitable for the people who really want a cozy cat! Although the Ragdoll resembles the Sacred Birman, there are differences between the two breeds. The Ragdoll is generally bigger and heavier and has no undercoat unlike the Sacred Birman.
- British Shorthair
You often see this cat in the movies, this is due to the fact that it is perhaps the most adorable kind of cat there is. This cat species originates from England, however, we see it more and more in people in the Netherlands. It is a cat that loves to be pampered a bit. So if you are looking for a new friend in the house, this is really the cat to choose.
- Maine Coon
This cat species is a bit similar to the forest cat, only this cat’s coat is just a bit nicer. In fact, this one is a bit softer, has just a bit nicer colors and looks beautiful. The cat likes to cuddle a little but in general it is a quiet cat that loves to just lie down somewhere on the couch. So at least it doesn’t bother you!
