A few months ago, we adopted a teenage domestic short hair that we named Odin. He was a big, athletic moggie and we lived in a small city apartment, so it quickly became apparent that his activity level surpassed our ability to tire him out. He was messing up furniture at night, but red flags really went up when he began stalking our resident rabbits to the point where I had to lock him up if the rabbits were to get any time out of their cage to exercise at all. It wasn't the best home situation for my poor sweet Odin, so we made the sad decision to rehome him to a rural family with other cats he could play with.
Hubs and I are cat lovers, and we do want to open our home to another cat. But we'll have to be more discerning about picking the right cat this time! So my question is, is there any such thing as a lazy cat breed? Of course some activity needs are natural, and we can and would like to play with the cat quite a bit, but what's the most placid cat breed, that won't bother small rabbits and is happy to sort of meander purringly through life in a fully indoor apartment situation?
