When planning to have a cat in your home, it is worth studying in advance the characteristics of different breeds. Not every pet becomes an affectionate friend, and some felines can even attack their owner. In the ranking of the most dangerous breeds, the Savannah takes the lead. Her quarrelsome and aggressive disposition will cause a lot of trouble for an inexperienced owner.
Not all cats, even domestic ones, can be affectionate with humans and other animals. A small kitten that has just been brought home may immediately begin to show a wild disposition.
The most dangerous cats in the world are the lynx, tigress, and panther. And these are large representatives of cat breeds that live in nature.
But it's not that simple. It turns out that there are the most dangerous breeds of cats that people can keep at home. However, they can cause terrible injuries to humans. The names of the breeds of such cats included in the top cause surprise, and sometimes even disbelief of the reliability of the information.
Often in photographs with a charming kitten playing you can see a happy family. Who knows, perhaps this future cat in the photo will turn out to be a dangerous predator. Therefore, before taking an animal into your home, you need to know everything about the pet’s character and habits, and be prepared for unexpected surprises.
Siamese cat
Siamese cat
These blue-eyed beauties with an unusual color are considered evil and vindictive. The reason for this is probably red burning eyes filled with blood and revenge. And this is partly true. They can remember an insult for a long time and take revenge at the most unexpected moment. You should not take them into a family with small children. They will not tolerate unnecessary affection and an abundance of attention.
And the owner’s incorrect behavior will invariably lead to aggression and hissing. Siamese also will not allow themselves to be assaulted or neglected. But many people consider this opinion to be erroneous, and people continue to have these oriental beauties, who are incredibly loyal, love their owner very much and love to communicate and play with him. Siamese are cheerful, active, moderately playful and sociable. They love it when their owners talk to them and are sensitive to their mood.
Savannah
Savannah cat breed
Amazingly graceful and beautiful, the Savannah cat is actually one of the most aggressive cat breeds. She has a slightly elongated slender body, a small head with pointed ears, an elongated neck, and soft-to-the-touch, thick short fur of an unusual leopard color. Savannah has the wild and aggressive habits of a predator. But a good owner can teach her to walk on a leash. However, you also need to be vigilant on the street, since the savannah may well treat a stranger as an object of hunting.
Maine Coon
Of the domestic cats, the largest is the Maine Coon, which has a massive body and a wide chest. A non-obese Maine Coon can weigh up to 15 kg. They are often bred as exotic cats. But they may not be harmless, sometimes they can show aggression, and the large size of the cat can mean more serious injuries. If a stranger enters the territory of the house, the Maine Coon may meet him aggressively. But at the same time, breeders note their flexibility and high intelligence - Maine Coons can pick up on the intonations of their owners and respond to their requests. They are very curious and therefore require close attention to themselves. They don’t like to be left alone, so if a Maine Coon needs to be left alone for a while, then you should provide it with toys, otherwise the owners will later regret leaving it. Maine Coons do not require special conditions to keep; they feel good in any climate. But during walks you should not leave them alone, as their mood can instantly change.
Caracal
Exotic lovers are increasingly adopting caracals, which have nothing in common with domestic cats. This is a true steppe lynx that can grow to frightening sizes. The weight of an adult is up to 20 kg, height at the withers is up to 45 centimeters. Despite the fact that they are quite sociable, inquisitive and playful, it is better to keep caracals away from children.

Is it possible to turn aggressive cats into affectionate ones?
Some breeds, such as Pallas's cat, are not domesticated. A wild animal forced to live in captivity retains autonomy, avoids communication, and leads a genetically determined lifestyle. This must be taken for granted. A person can buy an exotic kitten, raise it, but still not receive any response.
Domestic cats with a hot temper can be trained. With a competent approach, understanding of the characteristics of the pet’s nervous system, patience and love of the owner, the animal’s disposition changes for the better.
Individuals who survived cruel treatment, abandoned by previous owners, or who lived on the street experienced severe trauma that influenced their character and behavior. They are difficult to make contact, distrustful, fearful, aggressive, but the kindness and warmth of the new family will sooner or later melt the ice, the cat will become tame and affectionate.

Abyssinians
Cats of the vengeful and evil Abyssinian breed sport a dense thick coat of tricolor color. They do not like to sit on their owner’s lap for a long time, preferring a higher place where they would be out of reach. Because of the vindictiveness of Abyssinians, it takes a lot of time to raise them. You need to be prepared for the bites and scratches that usually end up playing with them. Breeders say that Abyssinians easily get along not only with people, but also with other animals, but if they don’t like something, expect aggression. These are very inquisitive and attentive animals, moderately mobile and capable of occupying themselves independently in the absence of their owners. Their games often cause scratches on furniture and ties on the curtains they like to hang on. But it’s better not to scold them for this, otherwise you may encounter aggression. If an Abyssinian wants to rest, he will climb onto his owner’s lap. This breed is quite silent and rarely bothers with its screams. The owner, if desired, can start training his Abyssinian dog: teach her to fetch something or walk on a leash. Developed intelligence and devotion are the strengths of the Abyssinians; they follow their owner everywhere because they do not tolerate loneliness.
Chausie
Chausie cat breed
This is a new breed of cat, bred by crossing a domestic Abyssinian cat with a wild jungle cat, and was registered in 1995. Breeders wanted to get a new breed that would retain the appearance of a wild cat, but have the character of a domestic cat. Externally, the Chausie is similar to a cougar; they have a powerful, slender body, much more powerful than that of most domestic cats. Cats of this breed are ready to hunt around the clock. Families who dare to adopt a Chausie kitten are subject to strict requirements, given the aggressiveness of these animals. People should, from childhood, prevent any attempts to play dangerous games with chausies. Otherwise, this breed can be called very inquisitive and even kind. This breed is characterized by a balanced temperament, developed intelligence and self-esteem. You should not have chausie in small city apartments, as they need a lot of space. They do not strive for privacy; on the contrary, they try to attract the attention of any person. They need regular training, especially since they love heights, which can damage some fragile household items that are best removed in advance.
