Top 10 Most Friendliest Cat Breeds

Each cat has its own personality, which can always differ from the breed standard. However, if you're looking for an extra friendly cat, these cats can make the perfect picks.

Top 10 Most Friendliest Cat Breeds

Breed#01

MAINE COON:

The Maine Coon is one of those cats that can get along with just about anyone, whether animal or human. This breed can easily adjust their personality from playful to relaxed and enjoys play and cuddling sessions alike. That flexibility also makes this breed a great travel companion, especially since most Maine raccoons can easily train on a leash. These cats will let you know how special you are to them by giving you headbutts frequently and following you from room to room.

Breed#02

ABYSSINIAN:

The Abyssinian is all about activity. This breed is active, intelligent, and loves to play games. The Abyssinian is not discriminatory when it comes to playmates. They love to interact with people of all ages, families, and strangers. The Abyssinian’s adaptability makes them a great choice for parents looking for a cat to hang out with their little ones.

Breed#03

BURMESE:

The Burmese is a folk pussy. These kittens thrive on attention and get it quickly with their charming demeanor. Burmese cats "love" to "talk" about their day while parked on your lap. They like to receive attention from people or pets who are ready to hand it out. In fact, Burmese cats thrive on affection so much that experts recommend adopting other animals to keep them company if you are often away from home.

Breed#04

MANX:

The Manx is known for not having a tail, but that doesn't stop this breed from socializing. Smart and attentive Manx cats are quick to participate in social gatherings and games. They love to play fetch and try new toys. These kittens love company and especially appreciate those willing to listen to them "talk" about their day. Once you have gained a Manx's trust, which shouldn't take long, the cat will always be a dedicated companion to you.

Breed#05

RAGDOLL:

Ragdolls get their name for the flabby posture they hold when they get attention. This breed is basically designed for affection. Ragdolls are laid back and often ready to put up with a lot when it comes to attracting attention. This breed is not particularly exploratory and prefers to follow owners around the home and stay within petted reach. These cats usually maintain this loving, kitten-like behavior well into old age.

Breed#06

SINGAPURA:

The Singapura is one of the smallest breeds of cats, known for their large eyes and ears, brown tick, and blunt tail. Reportedly derived from three "drain cats" imported from Singapore in the 1970s, it was later revealed that the cats were originally sent to Singapore from the US before being exported back to the US. Investigations by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) found no wrongdoing and the Singapura retained its natural breed status.

Breed#07

BIRMAN:

The Burmese maintain a balance between playfulness and affection. These adaptable cats love to play with other pets and children, but also appreciate a good cuddle when everything has calmed down. The Burmese are not steadfast lap cats, but keep themselves busy for some time and eagerly look for a good head scratcher. Because of this flexible attitude, the Burmese usually have no problems opening up to new guests.

Breed#08

BOMBAY:

Bombay is the name given to black cats of the Asian group. It is a Burmese type cat with a black coat, toes, nose, and copper eyes. The close-fitting, smooth, shiny black fur should be colored to the roots and show little or no pallor. The Bombay is a short-haired domestic cat closely related to the Burmese. The Bombay cat is of medium build that is muscular. Their weight should be around 2.5 to 4.5 kg, with males usually heavier than females. If the Bombay is healthy, it can live to be around 15 to 20 years old.

Breed#09

SOMALI:

The Somali is another cat breed that is taking a more active approach to getting attention. This breed lives to play games and try puzzles and is eager to do so with anyone who is interested. Their high energy levels and love for bonding make Somalis ideal for agility training. While this breed loves attention, they don't like to share it with other pets. Somalis seem to thrive best when they are the only domestic animal and are standing in the furry spotlight of a house.

Breed#10

EXOTIC SHORTHAIR:

Do you love the easy-going, affectionate manner of the Persian, but do you long for a kitten with playful action? Then I am perfect for you, as I have the gentle devotion of the Persian, but with an active, playful edge. I even come with a shorter coat which means you can spend more time playing with me than taking care of me. But unlike the other friendly cats on this list, I shy away from noisy, busy activities so I may not be as sociable with groups of strangers.
