Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the most popular pedigreed cat breed in the U.S.?"
...The list of the most popular pedigreed cats in the U.S. is a compilation of registered cat breeds with the Cat Fanciers' Association. In 2018, the wide-eyed, flat-faced Exotic was named the most popular pedigreed cat breed in America. The Exotic is still a relatively new breed that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. These cats look similar to Persians but they are not as high-maintenance. They don't shed quite as much and only require brushing once a week. Source: MentalFloss.com
