Himalayan
The Himalayan is bred from Siamese cats. It is bred from a cross between Persian and Siamese cats. These cats have blue eyes and color points that resemble those of Siamese cats. Its quietness makes it more Persian than Siamese personality-wise.
Himalayans are sweet, playful cats that enjoy being groomed. They live up to 15 years and weigh around 7 to 12 pounds. [11]
Maine coon
Compared to other cats on this list, the Maine coon is a rather tall cat. [12] Standing as tall as 16 inches, it weighs an average of 9 to 17 pounds. [13] It stands out for its long, thick fur coat. This giant cat is the official cat of the state of Maine. They became quite popular in the United States after the CFA recognized them as being purebred.
There are many stories about how the cat got its name. One popular version is the incredible story that the cat was born from the union of a cat and a raccoon. It has brown tabby fur and a ringtail, but it can come in any color. Many cats of this breed have extra toes that make hunting in snow easier for them. They can live for up to 15 years.
