It's, Like, Definitely Time to Get a Pet, No? Here Are the Cutest Cat Breeds

I'm sick of hearing about "man's best friend." I want to talk about cats. Specifically, cute lil cat breeds that make for great pets. I get that dogs are "fun," but if you want to live with a domesticated partner animal that you can view as an intellectual equal, you gotta get a cat.

I'm not advocating that you become a full-on cat lady or anything (though do you, no judgment), but I do think it's pretty important to conduct a wee bit of research to find the furry feline that is right for you. Not all cat breeds are the same. Some are much more affectionate and open to cuddling, while others need their personal space and don’t require much attention at all. Certain kitties are rambunctious and can occupy themselves with a piece of string forever, while other breeds tend to be extremely lazy, preferring to sleep most of the day away. (Turns out, I am a cat.)

And just as cat personalities vary, so do the physical appearances of each furball. Now I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but the internet is pretty much in consensus on this list. Blame the Ragdoll's blue eyes, the Maine Coon's magnificent coat, or maybe it's the Egyptian Mau's spotted fur that seals the deal. Who can *really* say besides, you know, probably a scientist, but that is not my professional calling so moving on: here are the cutest cat breeds.
