I had a male ragdoll for 18 1/2 years. He was the sweetest soul I’ve ever known. His passing last November broke my heart. I miss him each and every day.

Aww... I have a ragdoll. He's such a mama's boy. I love him so much.

[@audreytheausllyologist502]

I have two kitties (a Russian blue named Miguel and a tuxedo bombay named Minion). They are the loves of my life. Cats deserve as much love as dogs get because they’re just as affectionate, playful and loving.

I had a Maine Coon Mix for 15 years and she was the best kitty ever! Playful, affectionate, and cuddly! When I'd throw a lollipop, she'd fetch it! I miss her so much. I can't wait to get another one. I definitely recommend this breed.

[@richarddclarke9145]

Hello 👋 good morning, how are you doing today and your family?

[@emilyhunter666]

My all time favourite breed will always be the stray moggies I've adopted over the years. Nothing fancy, but truly special.

[@richarddclarke9145]

How are you doing today? I hope you're enjoying your beautiful d?

[@fatbingsu1803]

I have 5 maine coons, 5 british shorthair, a siberian, 2 persians, a turkish angora, and an exotic shorthair. The maine coons are the ones with the most dog-like personality, they really live up to the gentle giant thing. My British shorthairs and exotic are very active at night and could play all day long. The angora is a real diva. My persians have very different personality - one is very gentle and kind to me but would bite other humans and be scared of them, the other one bites me and scratches me but she enjoys being around many people. Lastly, my siberian is just a free spirit. It’s like she has a world of her own. I love them all. 💕

[@dustin628]

Aww you should start a KZbin channel with all those different breeds and personalities!

I owned a Tabby cat named Sassy (He was male and I was 2 when I named him that), And my parents and I raised him for 18 years. He passed away two years ago, but it was in his sleep, with a big portion of milk and chicken from the night before 😼RIP Sassy

Its hard when you lose them like. Especially if they were apart of your family for a long time. The cat that owned my family wasn't seen as a pet in my eyes. She was my baby fur sister.

[@lisalane6238]

Rescue - without doubt my favourite breed !!!

[@shiryo9995]

I’ve only ever had American Shorthair’s. Each and every one have had such a different a unique personality to them. My childhood cat Scamp (literally the best possible name for him) is now an old man but still finds trouble. Mo, loves to run, be picked up and sleep in the pantry (he can let himself in and out). Dezi, scared of everything and worshiped my dad. Bendy (he has a cauliflower ear) is my emotional support animal and I’m his emotional support human. He only lives to give and receive love.

[@sailormoonsault]

I wasnt really a cat person until I rescued a Sphynx and he’s so dog-like and loves people so much that I don’t know what I’d do without him now. He’s baby soft and so cuddly. People that are weirded out by Sphynx cats need to just meet one and they’ll totally understand.

[@CatsOverBrats]

So many beautiful cats out there. Personally we adopt from shelters instead of buying from breeders but that's just what feels right to us. We're all different. My cats are not spoiled. I'm just well-trained.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

And to think a lot of the cats on this list are considered to be high maintenance pets. especially the hairless cats in fact one disadvantage of caring for one of those particular cats is having to wipe the oils off of their bodies, because you know since they don't have hair to absorb the oils and what not the owners have to take care of it.

[@KittyGirl-mf1oo]

For most of my life, I had a black and white cat named Jessie. She was born at my house in July of 2004, but she had to be put to sleep in February of last year because she had cancer that was making it hard for her to eat, drink, and groom. A little over a month later, I went to a cat cafe to get a new cat. The one I was interested in the most was a pretty little calico named Lyra. She's the one I ended up adopting. It has been over a year since I picked Lyra out, and she's still with me. I also didn't change her name because Lyra is a pretty name.

[@richarddclarke9145]

BLACK CATS RULE

[@cindywells9119]

Ever since they came into my life, I have been absolutely besotted with my two Tonkinese cats. A combination of the Siamese and Burmese breeds, they have been said to have the best aspects of both breeds, and described as part cat, part dog, part monkey. They are both incredibly intelligent as well as incredibly affectionate, and they both bond deeply with those they care about as well as charm the socks off of anyone and everyone they meet. They are gorgeous both inside and outside, and as they are the most delightful company imaginable, I feel profoundly grateful and privileged to have them in my life (and they eagerly insinuate themselves into every corner of it🥰.)

[@carolinelowe6304]

Huh besotted

[@nikimeyers125]

How in the world are Siamese cats not listed?!?!?!!! I mean Disney wrote a whole freaking song about them. Siamese cats are loyal, talkative, sociable - they're basically dogs in disguise. I've had 4 male Siamese cats (adopt don't shop!) and that's been true for all my boys. They even make great "nurses" as they won't leave your side if you're sick.

[@AnnaK-oc8ht]

I am as shocked as you are! My siamese cat named Bastet is with me for 16 years. She is the best of friends.

[@stephvandykeozzy]

I work with cats at a Pet Resort and through it, I've seen many breeds of cats. My favorite breed is the Tonkinese. I remember seeing two of them at work and I loved how friendly they are; plus they were adorable.

[@michellecoleman5577]

You should have noted that the Savana, like any hybrid breed, is a wild animal at heart and requires a hell of a lot of stimulation, exercise, and watchfulness. No matter their generation gap from their wild ancestor. Also, where's the caviate that not all cats of a certain breed will conform to breed standards.

[@rhyta5042]

Agree, the Bengal and Savannah are not for everyone. Not docile cats, can be very aggressive. People should pick a breed on their temperament not looks

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

@@rhyta5042 People need to do research when getting a pet. Especially pure breeds. When I started looking into getting a ragdoll I looked up information on the breed. Thanks to that I knew that Skywalker would grow for three to four years, and would need a large litter box.

[@lainaposey2090]

My fav is a rag doll they are so cute, friendly, andplayful

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

One of my distant cousins actually has a Maine Coon. They are one of my favorite breeds of cats along with their fellow gentle giants the Ragdoll and Ragamuffin. I just really like fluffy breeds.

[@meows_and_woof]

Disappointed that the British Shorthair didn't make it on the list. They are the most beautiful furry cats with that thick coat and deep gray color.

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video of the different types of breeds cats ms mojo, fantastic job.

[@Swimmer218]

What about Egyptian Mau? I loved that Ragdolls were included and I can personally say they are some of the most loveable cats ever.

[@Erishkigall]

Also, I am a major proponent of researching breeds before getting a pet... However the cat overpopulation in the states is so bad! Why spend thousands of dollars on a purebred cat when we have millions of cats dying every year in shelters and too many kittens born on the streets! You guys also took a lot of your selling points from very old material that used to be on animal planet.

[@wolfhurricane897]

I had this American Shorthair named Sparkles since i believe 3rd grade. And our bond was unseperable. We would eat together, sleep together and walk around the house together. She would even look at my bedroom door when on my bed as i sleep to guard me. Sadly she passed away one night in October of 2022 before Halloween. And to say i screamed the word no at the top of my lungs was an understatement. We got her cremated and put in a box which i still have to this day. Now i am taking care of an all black American Shorthair named Motor who was found on Labor Day of 2022 under the hood of my mom's car. He is quite the personality. And he has a love for my dad.

[@andreamaria85]

I knew number 1 right away! My cat is a Maine coon mix and I absolutely love him! He’s very friendly and doglike! He has the Maine coon “trill” and the floof but he’s not nearly as big as a purebred.

[@richarddclarke9145]

Hello 👋, good morning how are yo doing today? I hope everything is going will for you out there?

[@KevinYannutz]

Tabbies and calicos are pretty nice cats

[@adriennefein2284]

My Mom would always breed Siamese cats. I don’t know when she started but I was really young. But they’re wonderful. And they always loved to sleep in bed with me. They NEVER hissed, ever. After my mom and dad passed they ended up being in my bed. Even when I had a gentleman stay over, they had to get used to the cats. So Siamese cats are the most lovable cats ever.

[@jesss8980]

I had a Burmese and Tortie mixed growing up. a very chatty Cathy and very lovable. probably my favorite of my cats growing up.

[@wendyodell356]

We just put our 15 year old American short-hair to sleep last Friday. Even though we were prepared, he had a bacterial infection that wouldn't go away with numerous rounds of antibiotics it was still so hard. There was nothing more they could do for him and he was beginning to fail. He was a big black hunk of love. He loved to lay as close to you as he could get 🐈‍⬛ I miss Otis so much, he was my talker. He also came when he was called. Our German Shepherd was in love with him ❤️💔 We have 2 other gray American tabby. They are twins. Born in the same sack. Smokey Joe and Tris. He's a little bigger, she's petite. They have different eye colors. Tris has ice blue eyes where her twin has golden eyes 👀. Cats are the best 💘💘💘

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

Me too and I don’t even have one. I’m sadly allergic to cats and I have dogs who love to chase creatures. If I was on my own and wasn’t allergic I would get a Ragdoll. I get my Ragdoll fix via watching Xiedubbel. I still miss Timo from that channel. He was such a sweet cat especially with his koi.

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

I feel the same about my ragdoll Skywalker.

[@lindaarab6509]

Lovely Birman cat 🤍

[@bikingbuggy4199]

I have a Maine Coon/Norwegian Forest cat mix and he is the best family cat we’ve ever had. He’s a 23 lb gentle giant that wants to hangout with us no matter where we are in the house and has a hilarious personality. We often find him lying on his back in the middle of the floor, just chilling. I highly recommend a Maine Coon.

[@Shastasnow]

The two cats I grew up with were named Corby and Quincy. One was a Siamese mix and the other was a tuxedo mostly Farrell. Great cats. We adopted them both from the shelter and they lived until 14 years and they were out door cats. I will never get a cat again though or a dog. Nothing can replace my cat.

[@SpookySiamese]

My favorite is the classic applehead siamese! I had one a few years ago named Elvira. She was always up for cuddles but loved to play and was very quiet for a Siamese (except when she was in heat) I’ll miss her dearly… RIP Elvira (2014-2017) (Note: Siamese cats have a very long lifespan between 10-15 years with little known common health problems. They are very vocal and loyal cat breeds, one of the oldest breeds to date as the Siamese was the first breed of cat with points and different fur coloration than the classic tabby markings and is the grandfather to many breeds like Ragdoll, Burmese, Himalayan, Tonkinese, Oci-cat, etc) (Unfortunately Elvira passed away due to genetic defects caused by incest in breeding. We didn’t know that until it was too late, but alias Siamese cats are the best breed) And I currently have 4 cats that are all healthy and happy!

[@Erishkigall]

And don't think Savannah cats are necessarily some of the top friendly of the top 10 cats just saying

[@rhyta5042]

Yes, they can be very aggressive as are Bengals. Be sure you are prepared for a very active and high maintenance cat if you choose one of these breeds. They are not cuddly cats

For people that cannot normally live with a cat because of allergies they are a good option and have wonderful personalities.
