The most beautiful cat breeds in the world according to science

Beauty is a relative and very subjective aspect. But science still manages to give it a mathematical scale that ranks beauty. Learn about the most beautiful breeds of cats.

Cats have a very special emotional place in our hearts! Like children, cats are all cute, without exception, and as they grow up, their body changes, which does not make them any less attractive.

The International Cat Federation lists about 46 cat breeds in the world and not all of them are aesthetically well-pampered by nature. Between silky-haired cats and those without (hello sphynxes), slender-bodied cats and those with little fat, there are many differences.

Obviously, as to who is the most beautiful, we can ask our mirror because beauty remains very subjective and relative. So what are the criteria by which we count beauty? If we could actually measure this mathematically?

The most beautiful cat in the world…

Science has naturally considered the question by creating the so-called golden ratio. It is a mathematical formula which is a ratio, initially defined in geometry as the unique ratio between two lengths. This means that it measures the physical symmetry of an element and this golden ratio is close to Phi, i.e. 1.62.

It was these calculations that made it possible to declare that Robert Pattinson was the most beautiful man in the world, Bella Hadid the most beautiful woman in the world and the Dalmation the most beautiful dog.

What about cats? Which breed of cats is closest to this golden ratio? They are three who share the title of the most beautiful cat in the world: the Norwegian (1.65), the Russian Blue (1.65) and the German (1.59).

Then we find Ragamuffin (1.67), Siberian (1.55), American Curl (1.56), Selkirk Rex (1.69), Siamese (1.55), Maine Coon (1.71), and Egyptian Mau (1.72). At the bottom of the ranking are the Persian, Peterbald and the Himalayas, which are thus scientifically the ugliest cats in the world.
