The breed gallery

Each breed its own room

Anyone who portrays cats by the day comes to know the breeds the way a portraitist knows his sitters: by the coat, the gaze and the bearing. Nine breeds, described from the workbench — each with the styles that flatter it.

Bengal

The little leopard at home: rosettes, muscle and a will of steel.

Maine Coon

The gentle giant: a plumed tail, ear tufts and a voice like a question mark.

British Shorthair

Plush, copper eyes and British composure — the breed that never hurries itself.

Ragdoll

Blue eyes, a silken coat and a cat that melts the moment you lift her.

Norwegian Forest Cat

The skogkatt of the sagas: a double winter coat, climber’s claws and Nordic patience.

Siamese

Deep-blue eyes, dark points and an opinion on everything — out loud.

Birman

White gloves, blue eyes and the calm of a temple dweller.

Persian

The most luxuriant coat in the world of breeds, worn with regal calm.

Sphynx

The hairless cat: warm as a hot-water bottle, folds like cast bronze, clownish by nature.
