Which cat breed is right for you?
The Persian is one of the oldest and most recognizable cat breeds in the world, with roots tracing back to 17th-century Persia (modern Iran) and Turkey. This medium-to-large cat weighs 7–12 pounds and is instantly identifiable by its flat, pansy-like face, enormous round eyes, small ears, and luxuriously long, thick coat that can reach six inches in length. Persians come in over 80 color variations grouped into seven divisions, including solid, silver, golden, shaded, smoke, tabby, particolor, and pointed (Himalayan).
Persians are the quintessential lap cat — calm, sweet-tempered, and content to lounge on the nearest soft surface. They prefer serene environments and predictable routines, rarely displaying the high-energy antics of more active breeds. Gentle and patient with children, they coexist peacefully with respectful kids and laid-back dogs.

The Singapura claims origins on the streets of Singapore — though its exact history is debated — and was brought to the United States in the 1970s. Recognized as the world's smallest domestic cat breed, the Singapura weighs a mere 4–8 pounds and has an unmistakable look: large, saucer-like eyes lined in dark "eyeliner," oversized ears on a small rounded head, and a short, fine coat in only one accepted color — sepia agouti (warm ivory ticked with dark brown).
Singapuras are perpetual kittens — curious, energetic, and mischievous well into old age. They adore being the center of attention and will perch on your shoulder, supervise your cooking, and insert themselves into every activity. Friendly and social, they do well with children and other pets but may overwhelm more reserved cats with their constant energy.
