Scottish Folds have a special charm that derives from the very best of the temperaments of their ancestors - the British and American Shorthairs. Folds are mellow and gentle, with a relaxed attitude. They are stoic but not unemotional - they're just more reserved, with displays of gentle, consistent affection. Although they are intelligent, they are not one of the more trainable breeds - they have a been there, done that, attitude and see no reason to impress anyone with their smarts.

Siamese

Quick Look

Affectionateness: High

Compatibility With Children: High

Compatibility With Other Pets: Moderate to High

Grooming: Low

Personality:

Acutely intelligent, curious, and loving, some people compare the Siamese personality to that of a dog. In fact, Siamese are considered a more trainable breed because of their desire to please their owners, and they can successfully be taught to walk on a harness and leash. They are mischievous and can entertain the family with their antics. They are also legendarily vocal - the sound often compared to a baby crying - and will teach their owners what each meow indicates.

Tonkinese

Short title:

Tonkinese

Personality:

Tonkinese (Tonks) combine the grace, intelligence, curiosity and elegance of the Siamese with the powerful body, laid-back personality and rounded features of the Burmese. This is a lively, intelligent and affectionate breed. Tonks are active and muscular but not high-strung. They are gregarious and happy, with a sense of humor.

Persian

RagaMuffins like to play and tend to be "soft pawed" meaning they do not often use their claws when playing.
