Each cat is a unique personality with a unique character. An ordinary “noble” cat can be the embodiment of “cuteness” and friendliness, and an aristocrat with a pedigree can be a distinctly independent individualist. Of course, a lot depends on the conditions of keeping and upbringing, but the kindest and most affectionate cat breeds are the result of the painstaking work of competent breeders.
We love cats simply because they are cats - charismatic, charming, playful, funny. But still among them there are especially friendly, calm, sincerely attached to people. Joy-pup.com found out which cat breeds are the most affectionate and kind.
Neva Masquerade
Amazingly beautiful cats with fluffy fur and blue eyes are distinguished by excellent health, flexible character and extraordinary intelligence. They communicate with people as equals and express emotions with their voice. Their refined manners are worthy of admiration: they are graceful, extremely delicate and unobtrusive, although they are not averse to running and playing. Perhaps, Neva Masquerade cats take first place in the ranking of “The kindest cat breeds for children.” An adult cat would rather tolerate annoying petting than scratch or bite a child. In extreme cases, he will simply turn around and run away. Nevaks are also born empaths: when the owner is in pain or has a hard time at heart, they come to pity and reassure with a quiet melodious meow.
Oriental
These are very graceful cats with long legs and a tail, an elongated head with huge ears and very short, seemingly slicked fur. You can compare Orientals with representatives of other breeds for a long time, discuss their stormy temperament and sociability. But what they have no equal in is love and devotion to the owner. The Oriental adores “his person” and is terribly worried if he does not pay attention to him or is angry with him because of some trick. You might think that he is tearing out his hair and swearing that in the future he will never, ever upset his dearly beloved owner.
What more could someone who expects more kindness and affection from their pet wish for? But oriental is not suitable for everyone. These cats absolutely cannot stand loneliness and need constant communication with humans. Busy people and those who are not ready to devote almost all their free time to a pet should take a closer look at other breeds.
Ragdoll
Translated from English, the name of the breed means “rag doll”, and this is true: luxurious semi-longhaired cats instantly relax in your arms, as if holding a soft toy. Ragdolls are good-natured, friendly and very attached to people. They yearn for loneliness, prefer active communication, love to play, especially climb to heights - tables, shelves, cabinets. They are extremely smart and observant, easily remember commands and are able to learn even complex tricks.
Exotic
The cutest cats with a doll-like “face” and thick plush fur appeared as a result of crossing two breeds, Persian and American Shorthair. Although authoritative felinological organizations did not recognize the new hybrid for quite some time, nursery owners and cat lovers were delighted. Exotic shorthair cats inherited from the Persians a funny flattened face, short thick legs and a phlegmatic disposition. They are inquisitive, gentle and affectionate, do not tolerate loneliness well, but do not like to be cuddled. At the same time, exotics are happy to run after a ball or a spot from a laser pointer; they can be taught to give their paws and bring toys... if they want
