The ability to train, compatibility with other animals and a high level of playfulness: there are many criteria for their intelligence.
Some of the most intelligent cat breeds can be found here.
1 / 8With its ice blue eyes, the Siamese cat is not only one of the most beautiful but also one of the smartest cat breeds.
It is often described as a dog among cats because it enjoys retrieving and is also suitable for clicker training.
The affectionate house cats are also true masters of communication with their people.
To prevent boredom and scratched furniture, owners should provide their animals with sufficient challenge and encouragement.

2 / 8The supple Abyssinian cats are not only self-confident, but are also considered particularly intelligent.
They love interacting with their people and are content when their minds are busy.
They enjoy climbing and exploring their surroundings.
Owners should therefore offer an Abyssinian enough space and opportunities to explore so that it is sufficiently challenged.

3 / 8The Tonkinese is also one of the smartest cat breeds.
They really value human company and always want to be busy.
It is not uncommon for them to quickly become bored with a toy.
To keep Tonkinese happy, they need varied play options.
This cat breed is often compared to dogs that desperately want to please their people.
Therefore, you can even learn one or two tricks with the Tonkinese.

4 / 8Bengal cats are extremely intelligent, so playing and cuddling alone is no guarantee of a happy cat.
Various types of training such as cat agility, target or clicker training are just right for this eager-to-learn cat breed.

5 / 8Oriental cat breeds are considered extremely clever.
This also includes the Burmese cat.
She is not only curious, but also spirited and sociable.
The Oriental Shorthair cat forms strong bonds with its people and has a gift for reading their moods.
However, care should be taken to ensure that the Burmese are given sufficient physical and mental exercise.

6 / 8Intelligent, active and wild: Since the Savannah cat is not a domesticated house cat, it should only be kept by knowledgeable cat owners.
Please note that animals can only be legally kept in Germany from the fifth generation (F5).
In order to accommodate her strong need for movement, her household needs a lot of space so that she can let off steam.
If the Savannah is bored, it quickly becomes cheeky.
They much prefer to learn tricks - but always on their own terms.
Intelligence games and lots of walks in the fresh air also ensure a happy cat.

7 / 8The Cornish Rex is considered a curious and intelligent, but also cuddly cat breed.
Because of their delicate fur, the Cornish Rex is often kept as an indoor cat.
Especially then, owners should make sure to offer their pet enough to do: This can be games with their humans as well as climbing and hiding opportunities - the main thing is that challenge and attention are guaranteed.

8 / 8The Maine Coon is primarily known as the largest cat breed in the world, but its intelligence should not be underestimated either.
Many specimens are even said to be able to open taps and doors.
Fetching becomes almost a given.
Connoisseurs also appreciate the Maine Coon as particularly lovable and playful.
