Every cat is the most attractive and valuable for its owner. And it does not matter the pedigree of the favorite and the way it has overcome to its new family. However, there are a few breeds of cats in the world that are really valuable, considering their cost, and that not everyone can afford. Therefore, today we will learn a little about these breeds and understand why they got into the rating of TOP-10 most expensive cat breeds in the world.
1. Asherah
The first place is the most expensive breed of cat and the most scandalous, which even a separate breed can hardly be called. It gained publicity with the help of a company from California “Lifestyle Pets”, where the first Asherah kittens were born, which cost about 30 thousand dollars. The goal was simple – to satisfy the need of the rich who wanted to emphasize their status with a valuable and exotic purchase. However, as time went on, it turned out that the Usher is a type of Savannah, which will be discussed a little bit below. And one would think that this is the end of the history of the usher, but no. Rich people continue to search and buy non-existent and unregistered breed for mad money. Now the cost of the breed reaches 100 thousand dollars. The most expensive cat in the world…
2. Savannah
A true exotic cat that is related to the African Serval, and lives up to 25 years. It is large, active and likes to jump 6 meters high. It is not suitable for apartment keeping due to the need for a large space for physical activity. With proper education, the savannah can learn to follow commands, walk in ammunition and get along with children. In general, those wishing to acquire such a beauty, should be ready to lay out more than 50 thousand dollars.
3. Chausi
Looking at a cougar, we are sure that you too feel delighted, however, to get such a beauty, there are many restrictions and prohibitions, not to mention the difficulty of caring for it. However, there is a way out. You can buy a Chauzy – a sociable cat with the appearance of a cougar, which will love your company. Chauzy adapts perfectly to a family with other cats and dogs, which can not be said about small animals, on which it can hunt. The cost of the breed can vary and can reach up to 15 thousand dollars.
4. Kao-mani
This cat can safely be compared to a beautiful white pearl. The exotic beauty from Thailand has a white coat color and a small population due to controlled breeding. In its homeland, the koa mani with multi-colored eyes is most prized. This is due to the belief that the cat will help catch good luck and avoid bad luck. If you want to get such a protector, prepare 7-10 thousand dollars.
5. Bengal cat
The breed is gaining popularity in Ukraine. More and more often you can see them in grooming salons. No wonder that the Bengal cat attracts so many people: a small, gentle favorite with unsurpassed leopard coloring, she is constantly ready for adventure and games. Both children and adults will definitely not be bored with her. However, it should be noted that the breed has retained its hunter instincts, so you should be careful during walks and contact with birds, rodents and the like. If you have already caught the idea of buying a Bengal kitten, this pleasure will cost 3-10 thousand dollars.
6. Toyger
As you can see from the name, breeders decided not to break the head and immediately reveal all the cards. This breed can safely be called a miniature domestic tiger with a weight of 11 kg. It managed to keep the characteristic tiger color, but this is all that the teager has from the wild cat. The breed is friendly and affectionate, doesn’t mind being left alone while the family is away. And if you want to wow your guests, you can buy a Toyger for 3-10 thousand dollars, and it will please you up to 18 years.
7. Maine Coon
Our rating is impossible to make without the handsome Maine Coons. Cats-giants at first can be misleading with their formidable appearance, but owners know how much love and tenderness in their pets. The luxurious coat, tasseled ears, friendliness, and lack of aggression in Maine Coons make people pay up to 4 thousand dollars for this breed. But we have never heard of anyone regretting it.
8. Peterbold
The world is already used to sphinxes, and they are not considered something unusual. Another thing is if you have a Peterbold with bare skin or a velvet short coat. The breed, which is bred by a few breeders, can cost you 2-5 thousand dollars. This increases its uniqueness because of the difficulty of acquisition.
9. Persian cat
A favorite of many owners who appreciate constant contact. Persian beauty requires attention and affection, and is not shy to show and ask for it. For 1-5 thousand dollars you will get a long-haired cat with a flattened face and a calm character. However, it is worth considering that the breed is known for constant health problems, so think carefully whether you have the time and finances for this adventure.
10. British shorthair cat
The last in our rating and the most popular breed in Ukraine, which can be purchased from 500 dollars. It has short grayish hair, a wide and short muzzle, copper eyes and a calm character. British does not like constant touching, appreciates its space and is difficult to tolerate stressful situations. May have a problem with overweight, so be sure to monitor the diet of the Favorite and physical activity.
Despite the fact that you can buy an expensive breed and enjoy the delight of guests, ordinary cats, including from shelters, will give you no less, if not more attention, love and devotion. In Ukraine now there are many fluffy beauties who are waiting for their new family in shelters, in the care of kind people and so on. You can be the person who, even without spending money, can become a whole world for one cat. And believe me, he can become even a better friend than the possibly non-existent and obscenely expensive Asher.
