Facts
According 
to the Cat Fanciers Association, the top ten most popular cat
breeds in America are:
Persian: Calm and sweet-tempered, these cats have been featured in professional shows since 1781. They will crave your attention and love to be petted and cuddled.
Maine Coon: Playful and devoted to their humans, these cats are considered native to America. They have beautiful coats and high intelligence.
Exotic: Considered livelier than their closely-related Persian cousins, these cats still have a playful side and enjoy a lot of human interaction.
Siamese: Extremely social and vocal, these cats might keep you awake at night with their continual yowling. They’re considered one of the oldest breeds of domestic cats and enjoy a large following in the country.
Abyssinian: A constant quest for entertaining stimulation sets these cats apart from the rest. Their high-spirited curiosity and natural athleticism means they’re active and into things all day long.
Ragdoll: These large cats tend to flop in your arms like a rag doll 
(hence the name) and are docile and sweet. They make perfect indoor companions for the less-active owner.
Birman: These people-oriented cats make excellent companions for adults, children, and even other animals.
Oriental: Vocal and curious, these cats are sleek and appear almost royal. They are sensitive and need a lot of attention.
American Shorthair: Independent and agreeable, these cats are highly adaptable to people and other animals.
Tonkinese: Playful and adaptable, these semi-rare cats are a great blend of the vocal Siamese and the amiable American breeds.
