What Breed of Cat Best Fits My Personality?

Felines are overflowing with character, and some of their traits will blend better than others with your own personality and lifestyle. If you’re considering a cat companion, our team is here to help you find the perfect match!
First: Assess Your Lifestyle
- Are you away from home a lot? Perhaps a kitten that requires a lot of attention isn’t the best option for you. And along those same lines, if your cat will be spending a lot of time alone, you may want to consider adopting more than one cat!
- How big is your living space? A Bengal cat that needs a lot of room probably isn’t the best choice for apartment living. On the flip side, a cat with a quiet demeanor may feel overwhelmed in a large house.
- Are you a first-time cat owner? Consider adopting an older cat with a calm disposition.
- Check your finances. Before adopting any pet, it’s important to be sure there’s room in the budget for routine checkups and the possibility of emergency care.
Which Type of Cat is Right for Me?
There are lots of different cat breeds to choose from, and there’s one out there who will make the perfect feline friend for you! Sum up your own personality in one word, then see if there’s a cat with similar traits below.
Introverted
If you love staying inside, Russian Blues and Himalayans aren’t overly active and make great, cuddly companions for homebodies.
Adventurous
Cats and thrill seekers don’t normally go hand-in-hand, but the Manx actually enjoys long car rides and playing in bodies of water. They’re easy to leash train, and can learn to play fetch!
Hyper
Got energy to spare? A high-energy breed like a Siamese cat could be just the feisty feline you’re looking for.
Chill
If your idea of the perfect evening is curling up with a good book or a movie, breeds like Ragdolls, Persians, and British Shorthairs will equally enjoy the slower pace.
Socialite
Bombay cats are highly social, extroverted cats who love to follow their humans around like a furry little shadow. They’re also vocal and enjoy “chatting” with anyone within earshot.
Clingy
It’s okay to crave companionship, and a Devon Rex will gladly stick to you like glue once she’s done grabbing your attention with one of her playful performances.
Affectionate
If you’re looking for a big, warm ball of love, the immensely loyal, lovey-dovey Maine Coon is the right choice.
Make Quality Healthcare a Priority
Cats may seem like independent, capable little creatures, but they still need routine wellness visits for optimal health and longevity.

This veterinary clinic changed my cat's entire life…[he had] severe dental problems… I was reluctant to…do the procedures… I cannot stress how happy I am… Everyone treats the cats with love and care, and they treat the people with respect and offer great advice.
The quality of treatment and unbelievable care with which my kitten was treated are priceless to me especially as kitten moves into her later years. I wouldn’t take her anywhere else.
The Vets have taken time to know and understand both my kitties. All clinic staff are caring, knowledgeable, and generally first rate.
…more information than the previous…places… Also,…we did not feel like they were pressuring us into paying for expensive procedures that may or may not work… [They] actually showed care and concern for our kitty…
These people love your pet almost as much as you do… This seems less like a business and more like a labor of love. [They]…always keep you in the loop of what is happening…and put both you and your pet at ease…providing first rate care for you cat.
…We must say that Dr. Jennifer Palmer…is the BEST. Her medical experience, bedside manner, candor, and quest for knowledge…is immeasurable. She goes beyond the call of duty to ‘reach-out’ for answers and health options you may not be aware of.
I am extremely fortunate to have taken her to Cat Care of Vinings… They take time to listen…answer questions, offer guidance…compassion, and give frequent and welcome updates.
Where do I begin? There are so many positives about Cat Care of Vinings…this entire practice is on a whole other level… The environment is relaxing and the staff are comforting and supportive.
At Cat Care of Vinings, every person…demonstrated care. Everything was well explained… I received phone calls updating me on his progress and asking how he was after I took him home. They are compassionate and knowledgeable about cats and that is what really matters.
CCV is a warm, quiet environment that helps my nervous cat feel more comfortable… The vet techs and office staff are skilled, helpful and friendly. A+
I have had cats my whole life and have used many veterinarians over the years. Cat Care of Vinings provides the best care I have ever received for my 'kids' - cats
I was shocked at how little we knew even after more than a decade of cat ownership and regular vet visits. I really can't say enough about how thrilled we are with Dr. Palmer and Cat Care of Vinings. We just feel so fortunate to have you in our lives and are most grateful. Thank you all for all that you do! :-)
The veterinarians and staff here are very professional, caring and thorough (they check for things other vet clinics don’t). They genuinely love their clients (i.e. cats)…
The staff are always welcoming and hospitable. Doctors will go out of their way to make sure your cat is taken care of and comfortable. They always return your calls and even call to check up on your cat after an appointment.
Dr. Michael Friedlander is experienced, capable, kind, and caring with my cat and with me. Her staff is also excellent. Besides the excellent care for my cat, Michael also educated me on what I need to do to take care of my cat, such as vaccinations and heart worm prevention. This is a top notch feline veterinary hospital with a top notch staff!
Knowledgeable, caring vets and a very supportive team. Highly recommended based on my personal experiences…
Cat Care is exactly what it says. The whole office is geared toward all felines… There are cat trees, and cat friendly furniture throughout. But is what is more important is the feline expertise…
