Most beautiful breed of cat is revealed
It’s bad news for Persian owners
MIRROR, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful feline of all? Well, it turns out they are not Persians, Peterbalds, and Himalayas despite their high price tag and possibly attractive appearance.
Our furry babies will always look perfect to us, but technically speaking, according to a mathamatical calculation, there are certain cat breeds that are considered more “beautiful ” than others, and some that don’t hit the mark when it comes to being the best of the cluster.
We’ve all heard the theory behind that the most attractive models are the ones with the most symmetrical faces.
Well now, a similar theory has been applied to fabulous felines. This time, using the “golden ratio”.
New research from All About Cats has used the golden ratio to analyse the facial proportions of 46 of the best-known cat breeds in order to reveal which are the most beautiful.
The study took measurements for the following features before running the numbers through this golden ratio calculator: • Length of face
• Top of head to pupils of eyes • Pupils to nose tip • Pupils to mouth
• Width of nose
• Distance between outer corners of eyes
• Width of face
• Bottom of ears to pupils • Nose tip to chin
• Mouth to chin
• Length of mouth
• Nose tip to mouth
