Followed by Maine Coon Cats, these playful creatures have a lot of energy and are very easy to train, thanks to their intelligence and dog-like behavior.

Abyssinian Cats also have a very playful side, and are known for being easy to care for, as they are incredibly affectionate and are extremely well-behaved with kids and other pets.

If you are looking for the best of both worlds, the Exotic Shorthair Cats is one of the most popular among cat lovers, being a cross between Persians and American Shorthairs, with the same affectionate personality as the Persians but without the constant need of grooming due to their short coats.
