Obviously, for who is the most beautiful, we can ask our mirror why beauty remains so subjective and relative. So what are the criteria by which we count beauty? If we can measure this mathematically?

The most beautiful cat in the world…

Science has naturally considered this issue by creating the so-called golden ratio. It is a mathematical formula that is a ratio, tentatively defined in geometry as the unique ratio between two lengths. This means that it measures the physical symmetry of an element and that this golden ratio is close to Phi, i.e. 1.62.

It was these reports that made it possible to declare that Robert Pattinson was the most beautiful man in the world, that Bella Hadid was the most beautiful woman in the world and that the Dalmation was the most beautiful of dogs.

What about cats? What is the cat breed closest to this golden ratio? There are three who share the title of the most beautiful cat in the world: the Norwegian (1.65), the Russian Blue (1.65) and the German (1.59).

Then we find Ragamuffin (1.67), Siberian (1.55), American Curl (1.56), Selkirk Rex (1.69), Siamese (1.55), Maine Coon (1.71) and Egyptian Mau (1.72). At the end of the arrangement are the Persian, Peterbild and Himalayan, which are scientifically considered the ugliest cats in the world.
