Question

What is the most common breed of cat, and how did it become so popular?

Answer 1

The most common breed of cat is the Domestic Shorthair. This breed is popular because of its friendly and outgoing personality, as well as its ability to adapt to almost any environment. Additionally, Domestic Shorthairs are known for their low-maintenance grooming needs and their resistance to disease, making them an ideal pet for many households.

Answer 2

Domestic Long and Shorthair

Not surprisingly, about 95 percent of all cats in Canada and the United States are domestic long or shorthair cats. Domestic shorthaired cats are the closest to the “wild type” and, regardless of the length of their coat, they aren't a custom breed.
