Generally speaking, with reference to pets, cats are much better suited to Pasadena apartment life. Many are quiet, clean, and eager to curl up with their most beloved human. But, it is certainly true that some cat breeds are more suited to apartment living than others. The breeds that offer the best fit are typically the more social, lower-energy animals that bond perfectly well with their people. We searched out seven breeds that rank among the best suited for apartment life.
1. British Shorthair
This short-haired cat is a favorite for apartment-dwellers because they are independent but still warm and affectionate. While British Shorthairs love to play, if playtime is already done, they are low-key and tend to entertain themselves. They make great apartment pets because they do not really need that much grooming and easily adapt to their owner’s personality and lifestyle.
2. Persian
If you want your cats on the quiet but fluffy side, you can’t really fail with a Persian. These cats are gorgeous and calm, preferring a long nap to any lively play. Persians are about as mellow as it gets. They even do well in apartments owing to the fact they don’t need a lot of space to roam.
3. Scottish Fold
Scottish Folds are a great fit for apartment life because they are very affectionate but not too clingy. But, as a matter of fact, these cats are typically relaxed, rarely becoming unstable or terrified. Intelligent and adaptable, Scottish Folds like a stable routine and lots of care and affection from their owners.
4. Ragdoll
One of the most popular cat breeds, Ragdolls are big, beautiful, and sociable companions. Exactly like Persians, their coats are quite fluffy and may need some extra grooming. But, at the same time, they are comparatively higher on the energy scale than their fluffier cousins. Ragdolls love their people and will want to play and snuggle with you for as long as you will tolerate them.
5. Russian Blue
If allergies are a problem that you have, you might think about adopting a Russian Blue. These short-haired cats have fur that is less likely to trigger an allergy attack. But there are certainly numerous good reasons to prefer a Russian Blue for an apartment pet. They are naturally curious, playful, and very loyal to their favorite person.
6. American Shorthair
If you’re on the lookout for a great family cat, you can’t go wrong with an American Shorthair. These cats are very low-maintenance and love to take quite a lot of naps. They are usually good with people of all ages as well as other pets. All an American Shorthair requires is a perch by a window and your best back-scratching skills. They usually live long lives, making them suitable pets for people who seek to enjoy many, many years of companionship with their furry friend.
7. Birman
Finally, another breed with a long, silky coat, Birmans, is the friendliest cat around. Even supposing they’re a little difficult to find, Birmans make great apartment pets because they thrive on playing and cuddling with their favorite people. When they are not playing, Birmans usually nap or groom themselves. All that hair, indeed, takes a few works to continue looking its very best.
