Social Temperament Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with social temperament.
Bombay
Bred in the 1950s to resemble a black panther. Jet-black coat, copper eyes. Despite the dramatic look, they are social and warmth-seeking cats that bond closely with their families.
Burmese
Dense for their size, often described as a lot of cat in a small package. They are social, vocal, and do not do well being left alone for long periods.
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.
Siamese Tabby Mix
A Siamese with tabby striping in the colour points, sometimes called Lynx Point. They tend to be sociable and vocal like the Siamese, with slightly softer point markings.
Tonkinese
A cross between Siamese and Burmese. More moderate in both looks and personality than either parent. Sociable and vocal, but less intense than a Siamese.
Snowshoe
Colour-pointed with white paws. The contrast is distinctive. Sociable and vocal, they tend to pick one person and stay close to them.
