Choosing the right breed of cat for you is very important so that you and your cat can enjoy a lifetime together.
One of the ways that you can assure you choose the right breed of cat is by simply visiting your local pet stores or humane societies and pet shelters to see if you can find a cat with a personality that you prefer. You will find that cats come in many shapes and sizes as well as very different dispositions and personalities. Take notes on which breeds of cat are laid back and gentle, and which breeds are full of energy and life. Some cats will not have anything to do with you when you visit, and some will come right up towards you for attention and love. If you have time and want to spend time with your cat, you need to choose a breed that enjoys being stroked and pet, likes to play, and appears alert. You will find breeds of cats that meow at you showing you their friendliness as well as their opposite that will hiss at you, preferring youre not close to them. Before you leave, you must hold the cats so that you can make certain you are choosing a breed that you find to be comfortable being held in your arms. Some of the friendliest breeds are the Snowshoe, Maine Coon, and Persians. If you dont have a lot of time to spend with a cat, you may want a breed that is less affectionate and less willing to be held. Some cat breeds are very loud and vocal and will cause problems if you are in a place that requires quietness, such as an apartment, or a home that has a sick or elderly person in it. The louder breeds of cats are Siamese cats and the Burmese cat.
Another way to choose the right breed of cat for you is to figure out if you want a long haired cat or a short haired cat. Longer haired cats are going to require more time for you to pay attention to their grooming, so be sure that you have that time, and as well, be certain that the cat does not mind being brushed and groomed. The shorter the hair the cat has, the less he will require, although they too need to be brushed.
Once you choose the right breed of cat for you and your family, your next decision is to choose between a kitten or a full grown cat.
Doing your homework and checking out personalities, temperament, and hair style are the most important steps to take when choosing the right breed for a long lasting relationship!
