Amir The Vet has revealed the one common type of cat that makes him stop in his tracks at work - and owners are split over whether he's got a point or is just being dramatic08:48, 19 Jul 2026Every cat owner believes their pet has a unique personality - from affectionate lap cats to mischievous troublemakers. But one vet has revealed there's a certain breed of cat that makes him brace himself every time it comes through the doors at his clinic - and social media users can't stop laughing.‌Vets say a cat's behaviour during an appointment often depends more on its personality and previous experiences than its breed. Some remain calm throughout an examination, while others may hiss, growl or hide when faced with unfamiliar people and surroundings, making every appointment a little different. Known online as Amir The Vet, the animal expert shared a tongue-in-cheek video showing his reaction to different types of cats he might see during a working day.‌Tabby catsFirst up was a tabby cat. The vet barely reacted, suggesting they were no cause for concern.‌Although many people think tabby is a breed, it's actually a coat pattern found across several breeds.Recognisable by the distinctive "M" marking on their forehead, tabbies are often described as friendly, adaptable and confident, making them one of the most common cats found in UK homes.Orange catsNext came an orange cat - and once again, the vet remained completely calm.‌Orange, or ginger, cats have become social media celebrities thanks to their reputation for being chaotic, curious and just a little bit clumsy.While there's no scientific evidence their coat colour affects their personality, countless memes joke that all orange cats share a single brain cell.Content cannot be displayed without consent‌Persian catsBut it was the mention of a Persian cat that completely changed the vet's expression.The moment he heard the breed, he jokingly stopped in his tracks and backed away in mock terror - suggesting they're the only cats that truly make him nervous.Persian cats are famous for their luxurious long coats and flat faces, and they're typically known for being calm, affectionate companions.‌However, their distinctive appearance also comes with extra care needs, including daily grooming and a higher risk of eye, breathing and dental problems.The video quickly racked up comments from cat owners - particularly those with Persians - who were keen to defend their pets.One user joked: "I don't know why you're worried about the orange babies, it's the Tortie Queens who are the ones not to play with."‌Another wrote: "Waiiiiit but my Persian is so sweet!! Her neurologist wrote 'very gentle and adorable' in the notes."They added: "Before anyone jumps down my throat, yes I have Persian cats, but all four are rescues or rehomes."A third owner said: "I have two Persians. They are the best behaved at the vets."Article continues belowMeanwhile, another admitted: "As the owner of two senior rescue Persians, one of which needs sedated to be handled, I apologise!"
