Which cat breed is right for you?
The Siamese is one of the most iconic and ancient cat breeds, originating in the kingdom of Siam (now Thailand) and first documented in the Tamra Maew ("The Cat-Book Poems") dating to the 14th century. This sleek, muscular cat weighs 6–14 pounds and is immediately recognizable by its striking colorpoint pattern — a pale cream or fawn body with darker coloring on the face, ears, paws, and tail. The four traditional point colors are seal, chocolate, blue, and lilac, all paired with vivid sapphire-blue almond-shaped eyes.
Siamese cats are among the most vocal and opinionated cats in the world — they will narrate their day in a loud, distinctive raspy voice and expect you to listen. They are fiercely loyal, deeply social, and form intense bonds with their owners, often becoming a one-person cat. Intelligent and active, they need constant stimulation and do best with a companion — whether human, feline, or canine.

The Ukrainian Levkoy is a distinctive and very rare breed created in Ukraine in 2004 by crossing Donskoy (Don Sphynx) cats with Scottish Folds. The result is a hairless or nearly hairless cat with unique inward-folding ears that curl gently forward like a levkoy (wallflower) petal — giving the breed its name. Weighing 7–12 pounds, this medium-sized cat has an angular, dog-like face with prominent cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, and soft, elastic, wrinkled skin that ranges from completely bald to a fine velour covering.
Ukrainian Levkoys are gentle, social cats that form strong attachments to their families and enjoy being handled and cuddled. They are intelligent and playful without being hyperactive, content to alternate between interactive play sessions and long naps in warm spots. Friendly with children and other pets, they are adaptable and easygoing in most household environments.
