A cat is either domestic, purebred, or a hybrid. Domestic cats do not have a pedigree history of their lineage, while purebred cats do. Hybrids are domesticated cats crossbred with wild feline varieties.
Some of the most popular cats may have grown in popularity due to movies that featured them or positive experiences that have left an impression on cat aficionados. Affection level and playfulness are top qualities that cat owners prefer in a kitty.
