How we pick your breed

Each breed has a general nature: how calm or active it is, how it is with children, its coat and ears, and how well it copes alone. We match your answers against that, and if two breeds come close we put first the one we have available now.

  • Scottish Fold Gentle and affectionate, loves being near you, and those folded ears give it a sweet look — settles in fast with families.
  • Scottish Straight The same calm, loving Scottish nature with straight ears, plus a bit of play to liven up the home.
  • British Shorthair Calm, steady and independent — fine when you are out, and patient with kids.
  • British Longhair The British calm and independence with a soft long coat.
  • Highland Folded ears with a long coat, and a calm, loving nature.
  • Munchkin Short legs and a playful, curious nature — it loves moving around and keeps the home cheerful.
  • Persian One of the calmest cats, loves a quiet home, and its long coat needs daily brushing.
  • Ragdoll Very affectionate and loves cuddles, patient with kids, and happiest when someone is home.
  • Maine Coon A big, good-natured cat that is social and loves play and company.
  • Bengal Very active and clever, loves to play and needs time and activity every day.

Common questions

What is the calmest cat breed for a home?

Which cat breed is best with children?

I am out a lot — which breed copes best alone?
The British Shorthair handles time alone best, then the Scottish. The Ragdoll and the Bengal prefer someone at home most of the day.
Does every cat of a breed have the same personality?
Breed gives you the general nature, but every cat has her own character. That is why we describe each cat on her own page, and you can ask us about her before you buy.
