Aegean

The Aegean cat is a natural breed that originated in the Cycladic Islands of Greece, where it was valued as a skilled hunter and companion. It has a medium-length double coat that is water-resistant, helping it adapt to the island climate. Known for its playful and affectionate temperament, the Aegean enjoys social interaction with people and other pets. This breed thrives in environments where it receives daily play and mental stimulation. Its moderate grooming needs and adaptability make it suitable for apartment living and families alike. Regular veterinary care and a balanced diet support its generally healthy constitution, though owners should watch for common issues like dental disease and obesity.
