"Cat Census": The top 10 most popular cat breeds in the world!

By the way, the Blue Star Census...what is the cat? Is there no "cat census"?

Although there is no official "National Cat Census Team", we can still dig out some interesting data through deep surfing. Today, let’s take a look at what breed of cats the global shovelers like?

What kind of breed do Chinese shovelers like?

We might as well take a look at this year's "China Pet Industry White Paper":

As expected! The Chinese pastoral cat is the king of popularity! This is the victory for every flexible, agile and adaptable local cat.

TOP2~4 is not surprising. British shorts, American shorts, and ragdolls themselves are evergreens in cat circles.

The only thing that is a bit unexpected is Dongfa. His appearance is very different from the big round-faced cat we traditionally like, and it is also considered a dark horse in the TOP5.

The preferences of cat owners of different ages

Our national contestant, Chinese pastoral cat, not only ranks first overall, but also won the first place among all age groups, from the 1980s to the 1900s:

Has everyone's preferences changed in the past few years?

Let's go back and see if the popular varieties have changed in recent years. The statistical method of the white paper is multiple choices, so the total number of each year is not equal to 100%, and there will be fluctuations. In the past six years, Chinese Pastoral Cats, British Shorts, American Shorts, Ruddolls and Garfield Cats have always been in the top five.

Especially the Chinese pastoral cat, during its glorious 20 years, occupied most of its preferred land.

Of course, preferences also fluctuate in small range:

For example, in 21, the ruffian players surpassed the American Short and jumped to third place, and the number of ruffian cathouses and bloggers around the body feeling of the previous year also increased.

The leopard cat also appeared in the TOP10. Later, the number of people who realized their actual preferences was reduced because they couldn't walk.

In the past two years, the number of Siamese and Folding cats has decreased, and the top 10 have fallen. In addition, it can be seen that everyone's scientific awareness of raising cats has increased rapidly, gradually reducing the pursuit of genetic abuse breeds such as folded ears and short legs.

In addition, Russian Blue Cats, East Short and Maine Cats, which have not entered the TOP 10 before, have also become popular in 23 years. The sanctioned Russia refreshed our impression of the "blue cat" through another slim and healthy image.

Don't you know that this domestic data is similar to the feelings of all the shit owners?

What about the preferences of shovelers in other countries?

Now let us go abroad and look around the world to compare whether there are any differences in aesthetics and preferences between China and foreign countries:

Top 10 Japanese cat owner preferences

Let's first look at the next island country.

There is a relatively clear data that counts 48,187 cats who participated in insurance in Japan from 2012 to 2013.

Although the time is relatively long, the statistical results of major websites in Japan are not much different. Let's take a look:

is actually the first place in Folding... Except for the short-term US, it almost does not overlap with China's TOP5. There are also 5 varieties inconsistent among the top 10.

Snail Noodles went to see the recent statistics of Japanese websites, and they also placed Folding ears in the top 1 preferences.

The second place is Mankikang

Compared with Chinese cat owners, the Japanese cat owner's preference list gives snail noodles a feeling of progress and backwardness.

However, the love for local breeds is still obvious. I will briefly introduce to you the Japanese Bobtail Cat that won the third place:

Ta is the prototype of the current Japanese Maneki-Neko, and the most popular color is the Sanhua.

American cat owners prefer the TOP10

Ami on the other side of the ocean?

This data comes from the website Rover.com. This is a website that provides pet services. By counting the information of registered users, they found that the top 10 preferences of American cat owners are:

The top 10 in the United States has a relatively high degree of overlap with our data.

Although American pastoral cats are not consistent with Chinese pastoral cats in terms of genes and appearance, and are divided into long and short hairs, local pastoral cats are still the top spot in the United States!

The American short-term players who are also loved in China fought locally and won the silver medal.

Other differences include the top 10 American versions, British Short, Eastern Short and Jinjira, which are more Bengal (Leopard Cat) and Mumbai Cat than the Chinese version.

In terms of overall feeling, the US version list is less refined and more wild.

The TOP10 of Swedish cat owners prefer

Finally, snail noodles want to introduce to you a list of European countries - Sweden.

Sweden is the country with the highest proportion of pet insurance in the world. This data comes from Swedish pet insurer Agria, including 1.6 million cats. What are the top 10 varieties of

?

Local hybrid cats with no clear breed account for 78.5% of the insurance ratio! It is 25 times higher than the second place, achieving a real fault first. In Sweden, a European country, pastoral cats are also the top star.

Another significant feature of this list is that there are many varieties of long hair, accounting for half of the list. There is no difference in proportion between varieties.

Through this list, you can see that Swedish cat owners don’t care much about the breed and care about every cat seriously (the insurance ratio is high). This is the warm healing of snail noodles today~
