Compare desired size, activity, grooming, affection, and voice preferences with structured cat breed data using a transparent, deterministic match score.

What the dataset can and cannot support
The current matcher uses 45 registry-profiled breeds from 51 structured records. All five score fields have been reviewed for every breed in the matcher pool; unsupported or ambiguous fields stay neutral instead of inheriting a guess. 16 breeds have direct support for all five fields, while the others have at least one explicitly unavailable field. Source links are not treated as certification.
- Home size: Physical breed size does not establish whether an individual cat suits an apartment or large home.
- Children: The dataset has no child-compatibility field.
- Other cats: The dataset has no cat-compatibility field.
- Dogs: The dataset has no dog-compatibility field.
- Shedding tolerance: Coat length and hairlessness are not reliable shedding-rate measurements.
What a breed match means
This tool compares your selected preferences with structured breed descriptors. It is a conversation starter, not a prediction: individual cats vary widely, and adoption decisions should include temperament, health, and the specific animal in front of you.
What the score includes
The 100-point score gives 25 points to size, 20 each to activity, grooming, and affection, and 15 to voice. Every score field was reviewed against the breed's current registry profile using a documented normalization rubric. A field scores neutrally when the official evidence is missing, ambiguous, or spans categories; it is never inferred from a personality tag or the broader care label. The tool does not score home size, children, other cats, dogs, or shedding because the dataset does not support those claims consistently.
