Cat breed profile

The Cyprus cat is a naturally developed breed originating from the island of Cyprus, where it has lived for thousands of years.

Cyprus cats tend to be affectionate with family members and get along well with other pets, making them excellent companions in various household settings.

This breed requires moderate grooming, with weekly brushing helping to manage shedding. Their exercise needs are moderate, benefiting from daily play sessions that engage their curiosity and intelligence. Cyprus cats are generally healthy but may be prone to common issues such as obesity and dental concerns, so regular veterinary care is important.
