Introduction

The Donskoy is an elegant cat that really sits in its own niche when it comes to general cat breeds. By far one of the most beautiful and elegant breeds of cat in the world, these other-worldly cats can make you think of aliens and other universes and even have extremely high intelligence to match.

Fairly affectionate, non-shedding, very pet and kid-friendly and relatively easy to look after, these cats are sure to win your heart, and for many families, quickly become their favourite cat breed.

History

It’s very well documented that the Donskoy breed dates back to 1987 when a Russian professor who goes by the name of Elena Kovaleva was watching some children playing football with a bag. Upon closer inspection, it turns out there was a kitten inside the bag, in which Elena then rescued. Not nice beginnings, we know.

As the cat grew older, it lost all of its hair, and when the cat had a litter of kittens of its own, these kittens lost their hair or were born bald to begin with! One of these kittens was adopted by a cat breeder known as Irina Nemikina, who then developed the breed into the cat we know and love to this day.

Personality

Perhaps the best word to describe the Donskoy is gentle. They are known for being extraordinarily lovable and friendly and will happily spend a lot of time around you. What’s more, they are very tolerant of other pets, so make a great cat if you already have cats living at home.

That being said, these cats love to be the centre of attention and love nothing more than being picked up, held, and showered with your love, so make sure you’re taking time out of your day to give the attention that will make them so incredibly happy!
