What breed of cats are the cuddliest & sweetest?

Question

My daughter wants a cat and I have never had one before. She wants a lovey kitty to snuggle with and lay on her lap, etc. However, the few cats I've been around are anything but cuddly and sweet, mean actually. Are there any types of cats that are sweeter/cuddlier than most?

Answer 1

Cat "personalities" are rarely dependent on breed. (And cats that actually have a "breed" tend to be EXPENSIVE!) Your best bet is to visit a local humane society or animal shelter, and play with the cats there. Some will be cuddly and sweet, others will be less affectionate. It can be hard to get a complete sense of a cat's nature when you're in a shelter environment, but an in-person visit with a specific cat is a better measure of their personality than relying on a breed designation.

Sweetest Breed Of Cat

Answer 3

Ragdolls are great for lap cats, I have one on mine now. While they are a wonderful breed for what you want, they are rather expensive (but worth it in my opinion). I also have a Domestic shorthair which is the sweetest most loving cat you could ask for. Most shelters have way too many cats. If you can adopt one it would be wonderful. Go to a shelter that will allow you to spend some time with the cats/kittens and pick the one that cuddles up with you and wants to be held and petted. Chances are better he will be like that when you get him home.

Answer 4

A breed known for being cuddly and sweet is the Rag Doll. You can find them on the Internet, but, they are very expensive. My daughter recently adopted one, and it is living with two large dogs and four other cats - and doing very well! It is a lap cat, it comes when you call, and it runs to meet you when you enter the house.

My favorite cat of all time was my Calico/Persian. Someone had dumped her as a kitten, and she grew up to be very beautiful and sweet. We had her for 18 1/2 years.

If you have the time, you can go to local shelters and see and interact with the cats and kittens they have. Your daughter can visit with them and get to know them before choosing one. Also, sometimes local vets will know of cats or kittens needing adoption and may be able to help you find the type animal you are seeking.

Answer 5

ok so it sound such as you do no longer probable choose a cat then. It does not extremely matter style what breed it is all cats notably plenty do the comparable issues. They get loopy and tear for the period of the domicile often times, and that they'll scratch furnishings except you get them declawed or have ok placed scratching posts. no longer all cats relish being the lap cat except it occurs to be thier concept and then it is in basic terms on thier words. And kittens prefer to get into each and every thing because of the fact they are curious and attempting to examine what issues are. And very virtually all cats shed and each so often it is plenty. So the two you choose a cat and all the failings that cats do or you dont choose a cat. it quite is approximately all there is to it and that i'm hoping you stumble on what you're finding for in a puppy.

Answer 6

I don't think it really matters what breed. But it is a fact that male cats are more loveable and cuddly then female cats. There is a saying:
The girl cats love you, but the boy cats are in love with you!

Answer 7

Maine Coon cat species is one of the lovable cat species. Comparatively, the common problem with this cat species is the presence of long hair. The owner of Maine Coon cat need to take additional care measures, related with the maintenance of healthy coat in their companion animals.

Otherwise, this may be a suitable breed for your family...

All the best!!!

Answer 8

A ragdoll cat is the best lapcat.

Ragdolls are large, laid-back, semi onghaired cats with captivating blue eyes. The Ragdoll is a pointed breed, which means that the body is lighter in color than the points (the face, legs, tail and ears). The Ragdoll cat is carefully bred to produce large affectionate animals in three patterns, two with white (mitted and bicolor) and one with no white (colorpoint). The ideal Ragdoll is a well balanced cat, with no extreme features. Altered males will usually top the scale at 15-20 pounds; females are proportionately smaller and usually weigh between 10-15 pounds at maturity. Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat color at two years, and full size and weight at four.

Ragdoll cats tend to be more interested in humans than some breeds of cats. They are known to run to greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and generally choose to be where you are. Many Ragdolls have been taught to come when called and play fetch. They are gentle cats, and usually play without extending their claws. Ragdolls tend to be floor cats, not jumpers. The Ragdoll’s semi long coat is plush and silky, and requires minimal grooming to keep it looking its best. They should be combed with a steel comb on a regular basis to find and remove any loose hair or tangles. Quality coats consist mainly of long, soft guard hairs. Ragdolls, just like all breeds of cats, will shed, usually with the change of seasons.The absence of the thick, dense, insulating undercoats results in reduced shedding and matting. In all, Ragdolls are well behaved, and easy to care for – perfect for our modern, busy, lifestyles.

There are four patterns: bi-color, van, mitted and colorpoint. Patterns come in six colors: seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream. Points may be solid, lynx, tortie, or torbie (tortie and lynx). If you do the math, you can see that there are quite a large number of different combinations possible! CFA accepts bi-color and van patterns for showing in the full array of color combinations; mitteds and colorpoints are registered and shown in the AOV class (Any Other Variety) where they are judged and ranked but do not attain titles at this time. Colorpoint Ragdolls have the classic pointed markings with no white anywhere in their coat.

Mitteds have white feet in the front and white boots, all the way up and around the hock in the back, a white chin and belly stripe. Mitted Ragdolls may have a blaze, star or hourglass shaped patch of white on their forhead and nose. Bi- colors have more white¸ all four legs, theirunderbodies, chest, and an upside-down ‘V’ marking on their faces are white, and they may have a splash or two of white on their backs. Only their tails, ears, and the outer part of their masks show the darker markings. In the Van pattern, only the top of the mask, ears, and tail, and perhaps a few spots on the body, show darker markings.

I have six cats...all "free to good home". And they are all my babies...Two Siamese that are very sweet. A tabby that is very independant. My most sweet and loveable cats are the two male tuxedo cats. It's been my experience that a male is more sweet and loving that a female.
