 If you’re a cat lover, you’re in good company. In the United States alone, there are an estimated 94.2 million pet cats. And while there are many different types of cats to choose from, some breeds are more popular than others. So which ones reign supreme? Below is a comprehensive ranking of the 10 most popular cat breeds in America, based on data from the American Kennel Club and CFA. 

#5.- Devon Rex- With their big ears, wavy coats, and elfin faces, Devon Rexes look like they’re straight out of a fairy tale. These playful kitties love nothing more than to romp and play, and they have a habit of “chattering” when they see birds or small animals outside. Devon Rexes are also known for being particularly loyal and attached to their owners.

#4.-Siamese- If you’re looking for a chatty companion, look no further than the Siamese. These social butterflies love nothing more than spending time with their humans and aren’t afraid to express their opinions—loudly. While they can be high-maintenance, demanding frequent attention and affection, they more than make up for it with their loving personalities.

#3.-Peterbald- Don’t let their wrinkled foreheads fool you—Peterbalds are intelligent, resourceful kitties who love nothing more than a good puzzle (or six). These independent cats are also very affectionate with their owners and bond quickly. Just be prepared for them to monopolize your lap real estate—they do tend to be rather clingy.

#2.-Birman- Birman cats are as beautiful as they are gentle. With their striking blue eyes and long white coats flecked with brown patches, Birmans are truly stunning to behold. They’re also extremely affectionate, often taking on the role of “nanny” to other pets in the household.

#1.- Sphynx- Sphynx cats may be hairless, but they more than make up for it with their outgoing personalities and charm. These active kitties love to play and can often be found climbing to high places around the house (the higher the better). They’re also very people-oriented and form strong bonds with their owners. Just be prepared for them to want to be involved in everything you do—these curious cuties have a habit of following their humans around from room to room.
