Top Ten Smartest and Most Beautiful Cat Breeds

The Top Ten
1 Siamese The Siamese cat is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Asian cat. Derived from the rtgs: wichianmat landrace, one of several varieties of cat native to Thailand, the Siamese became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America in the 20th century.

This is the true 'beautiful' AND 'intelligent' cat breed. They have a very unique colour point coat along with gorgeous crystal blue eyes, and they also are the most talkative and highly intelligent cats. Also, I absolutely love Persians, but they aren't as intelligent as the other cat breeds. So yeah, Siamese are the true winners here!

They are indeed one of the most attractive, appealing and beautiful cats. Fortunately, they are also one of the most intelligent cats. I don't know why the Persian (which I actually love more than Siamese) is number 1, because it's not very intelligent.

Siamese cats are so pretty. People think they're mean, but they are actually really sweet. My cat is going to be 8 I think, and she still looks gorgeous and full of life.

Definitely the most BEAUTIFUL & MOST INTELLIGENT cats in the universe. They're also very agile, playful & have a gorgeous personality.

2 Persian

Yes! Persians are my favourite breed of cats and they're so cute and beautiful and fluffy!

Sorry everyone, I'm not really a Persian cat fan

3 Maine Coon

I have a Maine coon and it's beautiful and sweet. It knows how to hunt and open doors, so it's smart too.

4 Ragdoll The Ragdoll is a cat breed with blue eyes and a distinct colorpoint coat. It is a large and muscular semi-longhair cat with a soft and silky coat.

5 American Shorthair The American Shorthair is a breed of domestic cat believed to be descended from European cats brought to North America by early settlers to protect valuable cargo from mice and rats.
6 Bengal The Bengal is a domestic cat breed developed to look like exotic jungle cats such as leopards, ocelots, margays and clouded leopards.

They are so cute!

10 Siberian The Siberian is a landrace variety of domestic cat, present in Russia for centuries, and more recently developed as a formal breed, with standards promulgated since the late 1980s. Siberians are average sized cats, and are considered hypoallergenic.

Why is it 21? It should be 1! They are so cute,and so smart! Mine Siberian cat knew tricks and opened the door by itself,and she was hypoallergenic so I never had any allergenic reactions with her.Go Siberian cats!
