There are some cat breeds that are more likely to be stolen than others, and this is not only because they are beautiful, but also because of their personality traits or pedigree. This is why the most popular cat breeds have a higher risk of being stolen.

The reason that these cats are stolen is to be sold for huge amounts of money or to be used for breeding (because they are purebred), so their babies are sold after this process as well.
