What are some good breeds of cats?

Question

my parents are letting me get a cat but they don't want allot of hair in the house because we already have 2 dogs, which means that the kitty also needs to be friendly. It dosent need to be to active i am perfectly fine with having a couch patato.

Answer 1

Calicos and tabbys are great I have one of each and they are both really sweet and fun. They get along with my Lab and beagle too!

Answer 2

Best breed is one from the nearest animal shelter. The shelter workers will probably know which ones are comfortible with dogs.

Answer 3

If it's a house cat, it won't shed so much. Regular bathing & combing will drastically reduce the unwanted hair. My aunt has 4 domestic long-haired house cats & a large house, but you'd never know a cat lives there b/c they stay indoors constantly. The ultimite breed for hairlessness is the Sphynx if you can afford one.  

Answer 4

Shelter cat!  You get a friend and save a life too!

I've had two Himalayans, and while they're good cats they're the worst for fur everywhere. A shorthaired cat's fur will be less noticable, but long or short you will have SOME fur. Regular grooming will make it a lot better. Get a cat for it's purrsonality. If you get one young enough, it will get used to the dogs. My personal favorite breed is Maine Coon. They're awesome and act a lot like a dog.

Answer 7

Any cat from the animal shelter...if no one adopts them they are put to sleep :(  

Answer 8

Unless you get a bald cat like a Sphinx, you're going to have hair.

Maine Coons are awesome cats:  big, friendly, comical, and they stay playful their entire lives :o)

edit:  calicos and tabbies are NOT breeds. They're just fur patterns.  It's like calling a Lab a Black.

Answer 9

Himalayan or how ever you spell it.
