What Breed of Kitten?

Think about such things as whether a particular breed fits in well with your family, life-style, and time commitments. For instance -

  do you need a cat that gets on well with other animals in the household, including dogs, as well as children? 

  Do you prefer a lap-sitter 

  Or are you looking for a more active cat? 

  Will you have time to groom a long-haired cat? 

  Or would you be better with a short-haired cat that requires little or no regular grooming? 

  Would you be happy with a cat that requires constant attention? 

  Or would you prefer a cat that can be left on its own for short periods? 

A good first step is to visit a cat show - this way you can see many different breeds and speak to their owners and breeders.
