Best Cat Breeds for Lehi Apartment Living

Oftentimes, with regards to pets, cats are much better suited to Lehi apartment life. Many are quiet, clean, and eager to curl up with their beloved human. Though, it is actually true that certain cat breeds are best fitted for apartment living than others. The breeds that offer the best fit are typically the more social, lower-energy animals that bond well with their people. We considered seven breeds that rank among the best suited for apartment life.

1.   British Shorthair

This short-haired cat is a favorite for apartment-dwellers because they are independent but still doting and loving. While British Shorthairs love to play, but once playtime is done, they are low-key and tend to entertain themselves. They make great apartment pets because they do not really need a lot of grooming and easily adapt to their owner’s personality and lifestyle.

2.   Persian

If you prefer your cats on the quiet but fluffy side, you can’t go wrong with a Persian. These cats are nice and really gentle, preferring a long nap to any noisy play. Persians are about as mellow as it gets. They additionally do well in apartments because they don’t require a lot of space to roam.

3.     Scottish Fold

Scottish Folds are a great fit for apartment life because they are very affectionate but not too clingy. And aside from that, these cats are typically relaxed, rarely becoming nervous or afraid. Intelligent and adaptable, Scottish Folds like a stable routine and much loving from their owners.

4.   Ragdoll

One of the most popular cat breeds, Ragdolls are big, beautiful, and sociable companions. The same as Persians, their coats are quite fluffy and may need some extra grooming. But, on the other hand, they are rather higher on the energy scale than their fluffier cousins. Ragdolls love their people and will want to play and snuggle with you as much as you will let them.

5.   Russian Blue

If allergies are a real problem, you might do well adopting a Russian Blue. These short-haired cats have fur that is less likely to trigger an allergy attack. But, certainly, there are really good reasons to favor a Russian Blue for an apartment pet. They are curious, playful, and very loyal to their favorite person.

6.   American Shorthair

If you’re in search of a great family cat, you can’t go wrong with an American Shorthair. These cats are very low-maintenance and do love to take numerous naps. They are usually good with people of all ages as well as other pets. All an American Shorthair needs is a perch by a window and your best back-scratching skills. They also are able to live long lives, making them suitable for one who would like to enjoy many, many years of companionship with their furry friend.

7.   Birman

Finally, one other breed with a long, silky coat, Birmans are the friendliest cat around. Despite that these are really hard to find, Birmans make great apartment pets because they thrive on playing and cuddling with their favorite people. When they are not playing, Birmans are usually taking a nap or grooming themselves. All that hair takes a bit of work to keep it looking its best.
