Dog-like Temperament Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with dog-like temperament.
Maine Coon
One of the largest domestic cat breeds. Heavy coat, tufted ears, bushy tail. They get along well with other animals, are unhurried in temperament, and tend to chirp rather than meow.
Savannah
A cross between a domestic cat and an African Serval. Tall, spotted, and athletic. They can jump very high and are fond of water, which most cats are not.
Siberian
Russia's natural forest cat. Triple-layered coat built for cold winters. Large but agile. One of the breeds considered to produce fewer allergens, though not fully hypoallergenic.
Ocicat
Looks like a small ocelot but has no wild DNA. The result of accidental Siamese and Abyssinian crosses. Trainable, sociable, and more dog-like than most cats.
Domestic Siberian
A non-pedigree cat from Russia with Siberian ancestry. Semi-long coat, robust build. They tend to be friendly and bond closely with their families.
Manx
Naturally tailless, from the Isle of Man. Some have a small stub, others have nothing. They follow their owners around and can be taught to fetch.
