Cats are well-known for many things – from their independent spirits to their tendency to cuddle with humans. People love them for their curious, cuddly, and playful nature, even if that high-spirited kitty-cat attitude sometimes causes trouble. While most everyone knows cats can be lovable, mischievous, and aloof, how much do they really know about cats? If you’re like most people, you might find you don’t know everything you think you do about felines after you take our quiz.

Many people can tell the difference between an American Shorthaired cat and a Persian cat, but they might not know the distinct differences that exist between a Siamese and Himalayan kitty. It’s easy to tell a short-haired cat from a long-haired one, but what about the lesser visible differences? Take our quiz and see if you’re an ace and able to make these distinctions.

If you’ve never thought about the origins of the American Shorthair cat or the Maine Coon cat, there’s a lot to know. However, even if you do know your cat history, did you know there is more than one type of Persian cat? Or can you name the oldest cat breed found in North America or elsewhere? Have you ever heard of the Dragon Li cat? (Yep, there is such a breed!) Most people don’t know the Persian cat’s origins date back centuries, but even if you do, do you know when? How about modern breeds of cats? Bet you can’t name all the breeds that were developed in the last few decades.

Most cat lovers would guess they know everything there is to know about these gorgeous four-legged creatures, including the fact they were domesticated thousands of years ago to become household pets. But when they get down to the nitty-gritty details about felines (nope, not talking about cat litter here), they might find they don’t know as much as they thought. Especially when it comes to knowing things like the many different types of domesticated cat breeds or the actual origins of the Siamese cat.

Are you a true cat lover? If you think you are, why not give our fun quiz a try to find out where you rank on our scale of cat lovers? Keep in mind, the most dedicated cat lovers will rank the best scores! Find out if you’re an amateur or a legend.
