"What is the breed of your cat(s)?"
Key Takeaways
In Belgium, the European Shorthair emerges as the frontrunner among cat breeds, commanding a substantial 28.2% preference rate. This breed's popularity may be attributed to its adaptability and charming personality, making it a favored choice for households across the country. Domestic cats, identified simply as “Domestic cat,” account for 6.4% of the surveyed population. These cats, often appreciated for their low maintenance and affectionate nature, continue to be a steadfast choice among Belgian cat owners. Interestingly, native cats and “Gouttière” cats (a French term for mixed-breed street cats) each make up 5.8% of the surveyed group. This highlights a trend towards adopting local and mixed-breed cats, reflecting a growing appreciation for their unique traits and resilience.
