    Top 5 Family-Friendly Cat Breeds

    Maine Coon: This is a great breed for those who love dogs because you can walk this cat on a leash! Maine coons can grow to be upward of 20 pounds, and they have an easy temperament.

    Ragdoll: These cats are one of the most relaxed breeds, and are best known for being docile and going limp when picked up. Their long coat requires daily brushing.

  • 3 of 5

    Exotic Shorthair: Similar to Persian cats, these furry friends have big, expressive eyes and cartoonish faces. Because of their round heads and shorter, flatter faces, choose feeding dishes that allow them to eat and drink comfortably -- ones that aren't too deep or too small.

    American Shorthair (pictured): These cats enjoy chasing after small moving objects, are able to adapt to any home easily, and love to purr.

    Abyssinian: Incredibly affectionate and playful, toys and climbing trees are ideal for this breed. They are considered the acrobats of the cat world.
