10 Best Cat Breeds For First Time Owners/Beginners/ All Cats

The Siamese, in our experience ( 35+ years being owned by Meezers ), are very loyal and outgoing cats. They love family, but will attach themselves more so to one member of their family. They are pretty long lived as well. Watch for kidney issues and keep regular health checkups for them ( as with any breed ). Probably the one downside is the incredible noise they generate which tends to multiply about tenfold around mealtimes, ie; they are quite vocal. Ohh, they can also sound like a medium sized herd of Elephants as they run around the house when their humans have gone to bed for the night.

We had a siamese cat when I was a kid. while she was okay with her family, although not overly affectionate, she was fiercely aggressive toward strangers and would sometimes even attack them. I always hear that siamese are so sweet and loving, but that sure wasn't my experience. At best, she tolerated us.

Had a wonderful dog (Daisy) and Maine coon kitty (Alanis) that were best friends. They’d roll in the sand (I lived in Florida) and hang out together. I miss them both terribly

Black cats are my all time favorite cat breed. Super friendly and extremely affectionate!! I adopted my little boy 2 Christmases ago in December 2019. He’s such a sweetheart. His name is Mouse. He was just 3 months old when I adopted him and brought him home. Now he’s 2 years old and a happy kitty!! When I go to pet him he gently rubs his head against my hand!! ❤️

Be aware if you go to a/an S.P.C.A. a given cat may pick you. We went to a local S.P.C.A. and fulling to let our son pick our next pet - a little 8+ year old American domestic shorthair picked me - an overweight 50+ male to be her next owner, sorry son Snowball picked me, and we love her.

I have a Ragamuffin named Ollie. He is so cool. Every morning, he comes up to me and climbs on my tummy, then purrs and gives me kisses. Ollie doesn't meow rather he mumbles his little cat talk. We have taught him to shake with each paw, ring a bell on command, stand up for a treat, and walk on a leash. I absolutely love my lil buddy.

Get a rescue tabbie ( a mutt) with short hair from a shelter or adoption agency. . start with a bonded pair as they will sort of "socialize" each other and seem to be more amenable to affection. They are not free as you need some basic infrastructure. You need to expect about 2$00 per kitten for vax, spay/neuter and boosters. Give them free range of the apartment/house. Do not let them outside. Pay a bit of attention and you can train them to scratch pads (with cat knip) Take a bit of work and remember, you are trading this for multiple daily dog walks

I'm just getting into breeding Maine coons!! and seriously, it's taken me years to decide on the perfect breed and then almost 2 years to find the right male and females. in that time, I can absolutely vouch for everything that was said about them. 100%. i chose the breed because of my love for dogs and need for an extremely calm, family oriented cat that can tolerate both the clamor and chaos of a large family and a child with severely impaired down's syndrome. our cats are blessings.

I have a rescue. Got Sweetie at the start of the pandemic. She is a Maine Coon mix. Has all the MC features. Follows me around like a dog and talks to me. I am so so lucky! Lucky 🍀 wish I could add her picture.

The best cat breed for me might be the Russian Blue, as many of its typical properties match my living situation and many Russian Blue are hypoallergenic.

Ummm, three of these breeds were on the "10 worst" list. I'm confused.

Love all the breeds, but especially ragdolls!

ALL cats are wonderful in their own way…loving and affectionate in their own way….please adopt. So many need a good home.

Burmese are stunning cats, both to look at an in nature. Super friendly and loyal as you mentioned. Love them!

When I was a kid with my family we adopted 2 American Shorthair red tabby cats. They were both good cats.

It sounded like he said “Birman” when describing the Burmese. Very different breeds - yet I noticed Birman attributes of being dog-like attributed to the Burmese. There were enough other misstatements that led me to believe the creator(s) of this video haven’t a clue. A first-time cat owner should go to a shelter and adopt one of the thousands of fabulous cats that are just waiting for a forever home. Purebred cats lack hybrid vigor; doubtful a newbie cat owner would want the learning curve AND expensive vet bills.

The Best cat breed is ADOPTED!!!😻

Super cute ❤😊 A very lovely upload

Very interesting! The sphinx, and the Scottish Fold made it on this list, as well as the list of the worst, first cat breed! Wonder which list is correct. steve
