White cats are beautiful, and they represent purity and majesty. In this article, the Yummypets team is naming five awesome white cat breeds.
To begin with, it's important to keep in mind that the white color of a cat's coat is not necessarily related to a specific breed. Unlike the gray coat of some cats, which can be associated with specific breeds such as the Chartreux or British Shorthair, white is not necessarily associated with any particular cat breed. For example, white cats may belong to a specific breed, or they may be part of a group of stray cats.
1. Khao Manee
This cat's beautiful coat is fasctinating. In Thailand, the Khao Manee is considered a royal cat breed. The purity of its coat and its different colored eyes have made it divine. At the time, King Rama V was so captivated by this breed that he did not want it to spread to other countries. That is why he did everything in his power to keep them within the country's borders. When the French and English arrived in Thailand, he hid the Khao Manee and led them to believe that the Siamese breed was divine.
Today, the Khao Manee breed remains very rare. In fact, there are very few breeders in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Thailand.
