When choosing a cat, you need to think about what characteristics you want from the new pet and what breeds of cats they have. Of course, every cat is unique in character. But there are some traits that characterize certain races. In order for sparks not to come out at home in the end, make sure that the cat's character traits match those of yours in principle. The cuteness factor must play a secondary role in the choice of the cat.

If you have a family and there is always something going on in your home, an awake and adaptable cat, such as Selkirk Rex, Ocicat or Singapore, may be the best choice. There are also cats that love peace, for example - Korat, Snowshoe and Nebelung. These breeds are especially suitable for people who lead a stress-free life at home.

There are a number of characteristics by which you can recognize, before making a final decision, whether the animal is in good shape. This is usually the case if:

• the cat is relaxed and playful.
• it has a soft and shiny fur.
• the gums are pale and without redness.
• the nose is dry, warm and does not flow.
• the eyes are clear and the ears are clean.
