What are the friendliest breed of cats?

Question

ones that are best for family pets?

Answer 1

My Stimpy is Siamese/Tabby; however its the cat not the breed that makes them friendly. Like "people". Luck from Brian&Stimpy....

Answer 2

Most cats are friendly if you bring them up the right way.
Teach your style of family life.

For family with children, you also have to teach children how to care and love the cat.

You also have to take in consideration if your children or any of the family are allergic to cats. Because once you have a pet and one of them is allergic to kitty. There more be a problem.

Then you may want to choose short hair or longhair. Short hair is easy to look after but still you have to keep clean by bathing and brushing. Longhair need more time to brush or else cat's hair is everywhere.

I had a ragdoll and she is the most friendly and social able cat. Unfortunately she fell and passed away.
Now I have a Bengal and she is just beautiful and the friendliest little thing.
Very talkative and very social-able.
So I believe is the way we bring kitty up. Just like we bring up our own children.

I do hope this is helpful for you.
Good luck in finding the best pet for you and family !!!
I am sure what you find and when you will be the best for you.

One more thing, look around in any pet shop or even in the shelter or SPCA and let the kitty come to you and you will know that she or he choose you instead of you choosing kitty.

I dson't think there is any one breed that is the friendliest. All cats have their own personalities. I have found that the most attentive and loving cats are those who have never had a real home. Though, I am partial, because I work at a shelter. Older cats are often the most loving, they can still be spunky, but really seem to appreciate all attention given to them. I would reccommend going to your local ASPCA or animal rescue shelter near you. I would also like to say, let the right cat adopt you, not the other way around.
Good Luck to you!

Answer 4

I would say I Maine coon. I have 2 and they are just beautiful. They know whats going on and they love kids. Maine coons have this outgoing personality that you wouldn't believe. They follow you any where they go and yep that's right they act like dogs. They will fetch if taught and they are just dolls. In my opinion they make the most good family pet. They're also good with children. My 2 cats love my brother. They love people, other cats and even dogs. So yeah. I'd pick a Maine coon but honestly a cat doesn't have to be a particular breed to be a good family pet it can be any cat..... if you can't afford a pure breed cat at the moment adopt a cat from you local animal shelter.
~Hope this helps!

Answer 5

It depends on what you mean by "friendly".
Siamese and Abyssinians are probably the most people-oriented cats and the ones that most like to interact with their owners. They are however, VERY active and vocal, and you need to be prepared to spend a lot of time with them.
The long-haired breeds tend to be more mellow and laid-back. Maine Coons are gentle giants, and Persians are well-known for their sweetness. But then...there's the issue of taking care of those long, dense coats.
All breeds have their good points, and their drawbacks. My advice would be to adopt a shelter kitten and raise it with love, care, gentleness and kindness. This will invariably produce a pet that will interact well with your family.

Answer 6

I don't know which breed is most friendly, I think it is variable. But I have a female and a male. And she is a bit snooty and skittish. Whereas he is the most loving cat I've ever met, and I've only been around females. I have talked to lots of cat owners and they all agree that males are more affectionate then females. Just fix them early so they don't get into the habit of spraying, once they start its hard to stop.

Answer 7

Most people just have the average domestic shorthair. It's not really a breed..it's a mix of a mix of a mix that goes way back. Like any other animal, some cats are extremely sweet and affectionate and some are timid and skittish.

Answer 8

Hello! I would have to agree with 'Renhoez". It's the cat that matters and not the breed. All cats have different personalities. I have two Persians and they are as different as night and day. I raised them both as lil kittens, just couple of weeks old and as far as I know, treated them both alike. However, while Snowy is as friendly as it gets: he sleeps with me, he greets us at the door, he jumps on my study table when i am studyin and expects me to pet him, he doesn't even let me keep my bedroom door closed with him out coz he scratches till i open it again, Brownie is totally anti-social. He hides when he sees someone come close to him. He doesn't respond to his name (which Snowy does, btw). He doesn't like us petting him and he seldom comes to me when I am asleep unless he's in the mood to be petted. So as u can clearly see, all cats have very different personalities, just like us so it's the cat that matters and not the breed! :D Hope this helps!

Answer 9

I also don't think that there is a breed that is especially friendly. I have a Siamese and a domestic short-hair. They are both very friendly. They both want to cuddle all the time. I think it all depends on how they are brought up.

Answer 10

Me persoanlly would say that Maine Coons are the freindliest....they are very dog like, love to play and love attention, and they are larger cats so there is less hiding cuase they can't fit under things. My cat follows me from room to room, he hates to be alone and is very loving. My aunt has a maine coon as well and he is the same way.
