      There is only 4 different breeds. Lions Tigers Bob cats, and crappy house pets. They all pretty much suck

      it’s not generally as extensive of a list as it is with dogs, but there are still quite a few breeds out there. the CFA (the Cat Fancier’s Association, which is the cat equal of the dog’s AKC) recognizes about 40 breeds, although there are more than that in the world.

      here’s a list of the ones the CFA registers:

      here’s also a list that someone has put together of breeds, both recognized ones and newly-developed ones (like the short-legged munchkin cat).

      so many to choose from! personally i like the abyssinian and the scottish fold…look them up on the CFA link - they’re beautiful!

      There’s also newer breeds that aren’t yet recognized by TICA.

      Despite all these breeds, though, 97% of the cats on this planet are of no particular breed - including all of the cats people keep asking “What breed is my cat?” on here.
