Looking for breed insights for which cat breed should I get:)

savannahs might be big but they are not "fierce".

hummm thinks about kittens ... Zoey would like and by the time old enough to come to me it would be cooler... Thank you for the pics...

No problem. I just love Abys. One day when I get my own house I really want a Blue Aby and a Bicolour Devon Rex too!

If you want a more mellow laid back companion for the older cat do NOT get any breed with Oriental/Siamese/Rex in it - these are all very active cats.

The laid-back breeds are American SH, British SH, Maine Coons.

Maus from the right breeder are very laid back. Mine are nicknamed beanie babies they're so "limp" and relaxed. But if you go to cfainc.org you can look up the personalities of all the cats. Some Bengals are very pleasent, others are wild children, so make sure you get one you can live with

thank you for the thought about the older one but Kandie is 17 yrs old and wants to be left alone..lol..

Maus are lovely cats

I am meeting with any potential cats before to see temperment and dispoition

The day I get a mau, I don't think my smile will ever leave my face! I love them but I don't have $1500 NZ$ to spend on a pet cat.

Some nice active cats are:

American Shorthair
Ragdoll
Abby's
Somali
Ocicat
Maine Coon

tehehe.....amen to the commebt about persians being the laziest cats ever lol. *eyes all of hers who are passed out while the moggie kittens are running wild* but i do love my lazy little fuzzballs.

I too dont have that much $$$ to spend...

From my experience Ragdolls definitly aren't one of the most active breeds. LOL! Far from it.

crosses fingers .... I may be getting a 13 month old bengal .. he is gorgeous ..

I would get an American Wirehair or a LaPerm, they both have neat fur, and I think they are pretty active. Just my opinion.

Ocicats are very active as well, Have you thought about one of them? I know that a lot of mellow breeds would be a good compliment to your active one too. . .
