For this list, we're ranking the most adorable and family-friendly types of our beloved feline friends. Do you have a particular favorite? Let us know in the comments. Big doesn't always mean better, but the size of these hybrid felines is definitely impressive. The Savannah takes its origins from wild African cats and domestic breeds, and usually arrive with beautifully spotted coats. This exotic look, combined with their agility, grace, and strength, makes them truly unique. They can also be very loyal pets, so much so that their behavior has been compared to dogs by some. But make no mistake, they are bold creatures. Savannahs are open to being leashed and taken outside, although they can suffer from emotional problems and don't always take to people right away. Thus, pet Savannahs need time, understanding, and most of all, love. Are you looking for a kitty that's gonna be friendly right from the jump? Then be sure to check out some Ragamuffins. These thick-furred felines love people and can offer the right home tons of affection and fun. Ragamuffins also tend to be burly and rather muscular, which is great for playtime, as well as for homes with excitable little kids. Since their fur is longer than some other breeds though, it should be taken care of to avoid knots and matting. But it's nothing unmanageable. Ultimately, the Ragamuffin is a perfect easy-going buddy that's sure to bring you plenty of love. Speaking of thick-furred cats, the Selkirk Rex breed is usually easily distinguishable from other cats, thanks to their curly and hefty mane. Interestingly enough, rumor has it that they were originally named after the original breeder's stepfather. It's practically impossible not to swoon as you look at these adorable creatures. The fancy felines are pretty lovable despite their exclusive pedigree and are often found to be playful, calm, and cuddly. A Selkirk Rex is probably gonna wanna snuggle, have fun, or await some quality bonding time. So, if you're sure to give them the attention they deserve, you'll be rewarded with a new family member. What's in a name? Well, the Burmese breed is probably called that because it's thought that their ancestry has origins in Burma. These cats are often dark brown in color, although lighter shades are not uncommon, and they're unafraid of strangers and family alike. One other unique attribute of Burmese is their excitability and personality. They love to meow and make their presence known wherever they go. So, if you prefer a pet that's seen rather than heard, Burmese probably aren't for you. But, if you want a playful friend who's gonna tell you exactly what they're thinking, these beautiful cats are a must-get. These mysterious and regal-looking cats are, to put simply, terribly pretty creatures. It's no wonder they've been called the sacred cats of Burma. Their hair is long and soft, and they almost always have bright blue eyes. The gloved appearance on their paws also sets them apart. Their history is believed to be a rather dramatic one, as they were reportedly almost made extinct in the chaos of World War II. Thankfully, Burmans are still around for us to cherish today. These gorgeous cats do require attentive owners, as health issues like kidney disease can become common. But, they can live for many years. Simply put, there's something to behold. If you're a cat person who still craves some of that classic dog attitude, there are a few different breeds to choose from. Among them is the Ragdoll. The members of this cute and fluffy breed have become known for their super chill, friendly and lovable nature. The Ragdoll just wants to hang out with you for playtime and love. One need only pick one up to see exactly what we mean. They don't usually mind being held for long periods of time, or sharing the area with other cats, making them excellent family pets. Look at the size of this cat! They are extremely beautiful and awesome cats. Turkey is well known for harboring a large population of stray cats, and the Turkish Van is one of the area's most well-known breeds. The Turkish Van is an independent, athletic, intelligent, beautiful, stunning looking cat. These strong, smart and capable kitties have fur that varies in length based on the climate, but never stop being cute. And though you're probably used to hearing about what a struggle bath time is with cats, Turkish Vans are surprisingly good with water. Most of our friends are amazed when we tell them we have swimming cats because they've never heard of them. They can also be a handful though, since they love to move. But a little patience will mean a loyal and trusted friend for years to come. You know the old saying, a true classic never goes out of style? Well, it definitely applies to the Shorthair breed. Indeed. Both the British and American iterations have become a standard for house cats around the world, and in 2020, they were featured in the Cat Fanciers Association list of most popular breeds. It's not surprising when you consider that American Shorthairs require little special attention to live long and happy lives, making them ideal for busy households. Although personalities vary from feline to feline, these low-maintenance cats generally get along well with people, are friendly, and provide tons of love and affection. The Abyssinian breed are noble-looking cats, that's for sure. These short-haired cats are exotic and beautiful beasts, who also possess a certain mischievous desire for fun and adventure. They've even been nicknamed the Clowns of the Cat Kingdom. Abyssinians love to play and will make that desire known to their owners. They're also wildly smart, which the intellectuals in the room will be sure to love. The Abyssinian is generally friendly and loyal, but usually prefers to roam the house instead of sitting on your lap. If you're a fan of adventure, you will be sure to get along great with these curious creatures. Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions. They're sociable, cute, and friendly.
