The Most Popular Cat Breed In Utah Is Unique
Utah is a place that fits many kinds of animal lovers, especially those who love cats.
The temperatures differ in parts of the state making it a great place to settle down no matter what needs your pet may have. Long hair? No problem because it gets cold up North. Short hair? Southern Utah gets hot so that’s not a problem.

Though many people may argue about cats or dogs being “better” the truth is that both are great additions to the right people and family. Cats usually tend to do their own thing but that doesn’t make them less loveable. They just need their space, like humans.
Utah even has a cat breed that it loves the MOST.
