With an increase in cat ownership booming over the last few years, more of us are cat people than ever before!
And it is no surprise to see how loved cats are, after all they have been worshipped for centuries, with some breeds even thought to bring good luck to your family!
While cats are very independent in comparison to many domestic pets, they are still loving, intelligent and attentive creatures.
However, if you’re curious as to which cat breed is the most healthy, then this list will come in handy*, according to PetKeen.
*While cat breeds do share similar traits, we advise each cat does have their individual needs and medical requires, if you are adopting a cat or bringing one into your home, this is of primary importance. Please be aware of this and ask for your cats full medical history and ensure you can take care of the cat before taking them in.
