A veterinarian named Ben from the United Kingdom, who has nearly 130,000 followers on TikTok, often shares his observations about certain breeds of dogs and cats that he deals with.

He is well acquainted with the nature, peculiarities, and challenges of each breed.

In one of his latest videos, he discussed the four most dangerous and unpredictable breeds of cats, which he personally would never buy, despite their popularity among Britons.

The only reason Ben would probably take one of these breeds home is to save their lives, in other words, to rescue them.

Bengal Cat

Bengal cats are ranked fourth on the doctor's personal list.

"They're beautiful cats with great fur, and I understand why people like them. But many people don't realize that they're a crossbreed between the Asian leopard cat and a domestic cat.

So they're still quite wild in terms of behavior and temperament. And among veterinarians, they have a reputation for being quite aggressive.

We're usually very wary of dealing with them because it can be very dangerous.

They're very intelligent and require a lot of activity, and unfortunately, many homes just don't suit them," the vet said.

Sphynx

Sphynx is third on Ben's list.

He says he has nothing against the breed and that they are very cute, but he "prefers cuddling with furry cats."

Scottish Fold

Scottish Fold is second on the list.

Ben emphasizes that the breed's characteristic feature, folded ears, is actually the result of a cartilage disease called osteochondrodysplasia.

"The problem is that defective cartilage is present in all their joints. And that means they usually develop painful arthritis at a young age...It's just cruel and unfair, and I could never support their breeding," Ben explained.

Persian Cat

The leading factor in Ben's personal anti-rating of veterinarians was the Persian cat.

The main factor is its health problems.

"Number one for me are Persian cats because of how flat their faces are and how many problems they have with their health and daily life."

According to the doctor, although some breeders try to breed Persians with less extreme features, in his experience, they are a minority, and "generally, people accept the health problems that these cats have."

"I've seen Persian cats with their noses literally pushed into their mouths and their eyes bulging out of their noses. People don't realize that they have the same breathing problems as some dog breeds with flat faces.

And generally for the same reasons. Their nostrils are too small. All the bones in their nasal passages are clumps, and they often have a soft palate that's too long in the back of their throat."

In addition, he noted that their tear ducts usually don't work properly, and the shape of their head and bulging eyes make them vulnerable to visual and eye problems in general.

It's worth adding that Persian cats are prone to heart disease, polycystic kidney disease, and dental problems.

"So overall, they're a bit of a health disaster, and that's why I could never buy them," the vet summed up.
