After our two dogs passed and kids moved out my husband rescues a kitten at work. She was 16 ft up of 40 foot tree and the owner of the home said she had been up their for 5 days and he was going to shoot it. His two dogs , pit bull and German Shepherd had been at the base barking. My husband rescued her before lunch. The owner was coming around the house with a .45 when my husband was driving off. We took her in and she turned out to be half Maine Coone. She's huge and is the smartest cat I've ever owned. The vet couldn't believe we found her the way we did. She thinks she got out of someone's home. No one answered the Facebook posts. So she's ours.
I love tabby cats, but other 'breeds' are wonderful too. That Abyssinian cat is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I've seen one before. And Siamese cats are one of my favorites too!
Oops! Forgot the Bombay cat. The ones who follow you everywhere in the house. Rather than bonding with a single individual, they are affectionate toward everyone they know
We have two spyhnx, two British shorthairs and a Siamese. The Siamese is a nightmare, the bsh are very antisocial and sphynx are just adorable monkey/chickens!
I've only ever had rescue cats, but two them were pretty close to purebred as far as characteristics go. One was a ragdoll. Or mostly ragdoll. Super, super friendly. The other is a Norwegian Forest Cat. He is also very friendly but has a very different personality. Neither cat has standard factory settings. They follow me around and listen to everything I say, no matter how ridiculous, as if it were the most fascinating thing they ever heard. Not at all aloof. Both "breeds", in my experience, are more dog like. The NWFC is not a fan of noise and chaos. At all. The ragdoll will tolerate anything.
Calicos are also very kind and affectionate I have one they like to play fetch and are kinda dog like but usually mine wants attention and acts like a kitten tho she is an adult she doesn’t like to be left alone calicos are also a great choice ❤
I had a calico and she was the most laid back cat. It’s like she was stoned all the time 😂. Just was chill with whatever was going on except if you whistled. She hated whistling
These are literally just premium cat breeds that people throw away money on when any old stray on the street would be just as a friendly if you treat them right
Personally, all cat breeds can be friendly from the common backstreet cuties to expensive luxury Sphinxes! It could depend on how they were cared for when smaller.
@@rose4490 She was a rescue, the runt of the litter and very ill , now she's the queen of the house . It is impressive how clearly she communicates and understands what I tell her, even when I don't use non-verbal signals! When I had to stay in hospital with covid she didn't get out of bed to eat or pee for 4 days .She got up the day my fever broke ! My son said afterwords "We didn't know who would die first, you or Danny" .
@@elizabethtd1006 I had 6 Siamese at one time and one of them lived until he was 17 and a half despite having a craving for salt and vinegar crisps and Galaxy chocolate.Bless all Siamese .
If you want a pet,not to show and just be an adorable loving companion. Doll face Persians are prettier in my opinion. They are not completely smashed. Face. But it keeps them from having respiratory problems.They are generally less than half the price,because they cannot show and people who raise them generally raise them out of love not blue ribbons. 🦁🦁🦁
Scottish folds are so placid and 'lazy' because the same genetic defect that causes their ears to fold causes cartilage in their joints to not form properly (this is why their ears don't stand up, the cartilage is badly formed) and moving around and being more active causes them great pain. Cats hide their pain - this is part of why a lot of people don't realize they are sick until it's too late - and the folds are no exception. People think they're adorable and sweet, but what you have is a cat that is in terrible pain constantly and just lies there placidly because doing anything else hurts more. Please do not encourage the breeding of unhealthy, suffering animals.

Cats are very clever, lovely, friendly, smart, cute, adorable and lucky.
And black cats are NOT unlucky
I know they are all so cute 🥰🥺
I haven’t met one that can beat me at checkers, connect four, or even write a limerick. Not very smart to me.
@@JohnTorres1987I don’t know if they are smart enough to do that. Nor do they have the body parts to be able to💀
Lame comment
"They get along nicely with other cats..." Then shows 2 cats ripping each other's faces off!!😆

I would also add Chantilly Tiffany cat breed , they are so quiet, so friendly, smart, they would spend their time being on your knees all day long,
I’ve had a Siamese for about 5 months and she’s the sweetest cat I’ve ever had and she loves my other cat
I had a siamese/ ragdoll and he was just the best so chill but also my shadow. I miss him all the time.
I think the Bombay should be on this list.

Ragdoll are the best

calico is not a breed it is a coat pattern, tri-colored
@@xlondontipton I know she’s a tabby but she has calico coloring 😂😂😂

Calico is a pattern not a breed, they are present in many breeds. Calicos are predominately female as well. Male calicos are rare and are sterile.

Where's all my orange tabby peeps?? If you haven't owned one then you don't know. They're the best cants anyone can own..

No 10 is number 1. Period
Mine was black and white and was very nice
you left out orange cats 😺
I would get a ragdoll, Siamese and main coon
My half-blood Siamese must have been a dog in another life !🥰
*... and he, or she is half Siamese. Siamese cats are creatures of legend, dear heart!* 😊💓

Wondering Chase is what type?
Domestic shorthair

Ragdolls
So tabby cats didn't make the list?
Tabby is a pattern not a breed, tabbies cover many breeds
Every cat but these cats is a good cat
