fluffy that you might mistake it for a plush toy but don't fall so easily for its cuddly appearance because this is a wild cat it was named after German naturalist Peter Palace but its scientific nomenclature is Otto colobus monell Otto Calibos is a greek word meaning ugly year rude I know apparently some scientist was disgusted by the fact that this cat has around ears that sit on the sides of its head another distinct trait of Pallas's cat is its uncap like round eyes and pupils the important question is can you tame this kitty the short answer is no don't even try to pet it if you see one this wild cat which happens to be a distant relative of the leopard is not a social animal they're independent territorial and well wild plus palaces cat is classified as near threatened by the

activities is playing fetch and you can actually walk this cat on a leash and here's the real kicker it loves to swim this cat is adventurous and curious so it's better to keep it indoors at the same time they require lots of mental and physical stimulation you also need an infinite amount of patience to deal with their playfulness and mischievous behavior expect turned on faucets open cabinets broken dishware nor the furniture and your toilet being turned into their own private pool so basically it's an adorable poltergeist the Savannah can also be quite aggressive towards strangers especially when they're young so yes you can keep Savannah's as pets but this breed is definitely not for first-time cat owners number 8 the Chow sea also known as the Nile cat this breed is a cross between an Abyssinian domestic cat and a jungle cat you can probably guess by the nickname that this cat comes straight out of Egypt it's a wild ancestor the jungle cat is the very one that the Egyptians worshipped male Chelsea's can weigh up to 25 pounds while females get up to 20 it has a slender yet muscular body giving the species an overall athletic built just like the Savannah this cat can be put on a leash and likes to play fetch the chassis is not a laid-back lap cat they're playful and assertive so you have to constantly keep them busy with toys and undivided attention ciao seas

inside your home number 7 the jungle cat all right let's talk about the prized pet of the ancient Egyptians the jungle cat its scientific name is Felice cows but it also goes by the swamp Lynx swamp cat or Reed cat while the name would have you think otherwise this cat does not live in the jungle but rather in wetlands with dense vegetation it's a medium sized feline that can weigh up to 20 pounds like any other wild cat this breed is independent and solitary therefore it can be hard to tame and domesticate it even if you raise one from kitten hood the jungle cat is also an energetic active and predatory sort they can even pounce on birds that are about to take off this cat can be aggressive too in fact there have been cases of jungle cats attacking and clawing people that got a little too close for comfort number six the Abyssinian while we're on the topic we might as well mention that shell sees other ancestor it may seem regal and poised at first glance but don't let the Abyssinian fool you this cat has a really outgoing and playful personality the Abbey is one of the oldest domesticated cat breeds believed to originate from Abyssinia which is modern-day Ethiopia most

loves climbing up to high places it's an inquisitive and intelligent breed that's inclined to investigate whatever you're doing they say that this cat will train you not the other way around to do its bidding like playing fetch the Abbey prefers to be the center of attention and doesn't do well when left alone if you leave it alone for a long time expect to come home to chaos this cat can also get aggressive without any valid reason number five British Shorthair if you're familiar with a Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland or Puss in Boots and Shrek then you've definitely met some of the on-screen representations of the British Shorthair this breed can weigh up to 20 pounds and lives up to about 20 years it's well known for having a round head eyes and paws and even its tail is rounded at the tip but don't be fooled by its cute appearance even if it lowers its hat and looks up at you with a big sad eyes sure it's a laid-back and undemanding cat it doesn't exactly have an active lifestyle so don't expect them on top of your counters or shelves however the British Shorthair is not a cuddly lap cat and doesn't like to be carried around nonetheless it'll stay by your side like a loyal companion when it feels like it number 4 the Maine this native New Englander hails from Maine hence the name in fact it's the official state cat the Maine is a large breed that can weigh
