如果您担心的是健康问题，只要是从正规猫舍购买，科学繁育，血统纯正，无论哪个品种基本都可以保证健康。如果你想问的是哪个品种好养，对于健康的纯种猫，短毛相对好打理一些。如果您家里有孩子或老人，希望猫咪性格温顺安静，可以优先考虑温顺著称的品种，比如布偶猫。优越环境下自由散养的猫咪一般都非常亲人，品种之间性格差距不会很大，但笼养、或成长环境恶劣的猫咪会与人类保持距离，很难取得信任，所以无论什么品种，它的血统、成长环境非常重要。
“我们和猫”作为纯种猫展示和销售平台，仅就cfa承认的42种可参加冠军级赛事的血统猫进行横向比较，他们各具特色，下表列出了每个品种的外貌特征、长短毛、性格及图片，希望对你有用。
截止到2020年1月，CFA国际爱猫联合会现承认42种可参加冠军级别赛事的血统猫，以及3个杂项品种－2018年赛季开始（2018年5月1日），Lykoi/狼猫和Khao Manee/泰国御猫在杂项品种中展出。自2019赛季（2019年5月1日）开始，Toybob/袖珍猫在杂项品种中展出。
每个品种都有一套品种标准，并随着品种的进化不断更新。各个品种委员会也不时地更新其品种介绍，以期更为详尽地介绍该品种。你能在国际爱猫联合会的网站上找到每个品种的介绍，网址是 http://www.cfa.org。
