What Cat Breed Is Right for Me?The cat breed quiz that compares all breeds
Answer 10 quick questions about your home, your daily routine, your family and the kind of cat you are hoping for. We compare your answers with our breed data and show you the cat breeds that fit your life best, along with the reasons why.
How the Cat Breed Quiz Works
Every breed in our database is scored on energy, playfulness, affection, how talkative it is, grooming needs, how it does with kids and other pets, and how well it copes alone or indoors. The quiz compares those scores with your answers and weights them: allergies, time alone, your home and daily play count more than grooming or voice.
Answer honestlyPlan around the life you actually live. A bored, under-stimulated cat can turn into a stressed cat, and cats often live 15 years or more.
A starting point, not a verdictEvery cat is an individual. Meet cats of a breed in person, at a breeder, a breed rescue or a cat show, before you decide.
Mixed-breed cats are wonderful tooMost cats in shelters are mixed-breed domestic cats. An adult shelter cat whose personality is already known can be a perfect match for your home.
