Here Kitty, Kitty
Abyssinian
Unlike the exotic shorthair, the Abyssinian is all about activity. This breed is active, intelligent and adores playing games. The Abyssinian is undiscriminating when it comes to playmates. They enjoy interacting with people of all ages, family and strangers. The Abyssinian's adaptability makes it a great choice for parents who want a cat that can hang out with their little ones.
Persian
Like their squished-faced relatives the exotic shorthairs, the Persian is a gentle breed that lives for a good petting session. These cats are quick to return affection if you offer it, as long as you are not too rough with them. While the Persian isn't extremely active, this breed does enjoy being surrounded by others, sitting close and taking in the scene.
Russian Blue
Don't be fooled by talk that Russian blues are aloof. These cats just like to observe before they act. Once this breed is comfortable with you, expect them to always be close by. Russian blues love to play and be a part of everything you do, including sharing your bed. Because of their reserved nature, Russian blues won't rush to be a part of social gatherings. Once they feel settled, they are quick to come out and accept their cuddles.
Burmese
The Burmese is a people pussycat. These kitties thrive on attention and quickly get it with their charming demeanor. Burmese cats love to "talk" about their day while parked in your lap. They are happy to accept attention from any person or pet willing to dish it out. In fact, Burmese cats thrive on affection so much that experts recommend adopting another animal to keep them company, especially if you are often out of the home.
Siamese
Siamese cats share many of the Burmese's loving qualities, plus an added dose of curiosity. Siamese cats not only crave your attention, they also want to be part of everything you do. They will happily butt in on chores, meals and TV time. Because of their range of interests, this breed is also known for easily getting along with everyone and often acting like a dog. Siamese are so canine-like that they have been known to take up leashed walks and games of fetch.
Somali
The Somali is another cat breed that takes a more active approach to getting attention. This breed lives to play games and try puzzles, and is eager to do it 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 do not like to share it with other pets. Somalis seem to thrive best when they are the only pet and are the furry spotlight of a home.
