The Most Playful Cat Breeds

1. Siamese

Lifespan:	8 – 12 years
Temperament:	Loving and loyal
Colors:	ColorPoint

There is no better place to begin our discussion on playful cats than the Siamese, which has been around since the dawn of time.

Cats with albinism generally have white fur on their backs and tummies because of a pattern in their fur known as the “Color Point,” which appears on their faces, tails, and legs.

They prefer playing activities where they get to climb and pursue since they are slender, strong, and agile.

2. Cornish Rex

Lifespan:	11 – 12 years
Temperament:	Active and playful
Colors:	A wide variety of colors and patterns

From a great window bed, your cat can comfortably watch the world go by. We love the sturdy, easy to clean Hepper Cat Window Bed with Suction Cups, which attaches in seconds to any window.

At Pet Keen, we’ve admired Hepper for many years, and decided to take a controlling ownership interest so that we could benefit from the outstanding designs of this cool cat company!

3. Turkish Angora

Lifespan:	15 – 18 years
Temperament:	Affectionate and loyal
Colors:	black, blue, red, and cream

For families with young children, the Turkish Angora is an excellent choice. This jovial feline has long, silky fur that makes him extra lovable.

It enjoys the company of its human owners and is not readily startled by loud youngsters or strangers. For the most part, it comes in one of four colors: black (black), blue (blue), red (red), or cream (cream), blended with white.

4. Japanese Bobtail

Lifespan:	15 – 16 years
Temperament:	Loving and affectionate, intelligent, energetic
Colors:	Wide variety of colors and patterns

The tiny stumpy tail of the Japanese Bobtail cat makes it a one-of-a-kind breed. Because of their familiar appearance, these cats frequently draw the interest of young viewers.

Despite their appearance, these cats are healthy, clever, and lively, and their short tail is a product of their genetic makeup. The laser pen is a favorite toy of these sociable creatures, who also excel at solving riddles to obtain food.

5. Selkirk Rex

Lifespan:	8 – 12 years
Temperament:	lively, energetic, and friendly
Colors:	Black, blue, tortoiseshell, smoke, many others

It’s not uncommon to see Selkirk rex dogs with mottled or smoky hair, although the breed comes in a wide range of shades and patterns.

As long as they are left alone, these cats get along well with other pets and can live for up to 15 years before experiencing any health issues.

If you have a laser pen, this cat will adore pursuing it and may even run up and down the stairs. As an alternative to using the stairs, this breed may attempt leaping on the backs of chairs and other furniture to burn off some extra energy.

6. Birman

Lifespan:	14 – 15 years
Temperament:	Playful and territorial but not aggressive
Colors:	Wide range of colors and patterns

The ColorPoint pattern is the most popular on the Birman cat, which is soft, fluffy, and comes in a variety of colors and patterns. For hours, these cats will play with a crumpled paper ball.

They don’t like to run, but if you bring out a laser pen, they’ll pursue it for a few minutes and adore catnip toys. When it comes to their behavior, these cats aren’t aggressive at all.

7. Havana Brown

Lifespan:	8 – 13 years
Temperament:	Human Oriented, playful, and curious
Colors:	Brown, black-brown

The Havana Brown cat is nearly always a dark brown or black brown hue with no white on the belly, as the name implies. When they are kittens and adults, these cats have enormous ears that make them like baddies.

This breed appears to develop a little more slowly than other breeds, allowing them to retain their kitten-like energy and desire to play for a longer period of time.

The laser pen is ideal for tracking these fast-moving animals. This is so powerful that it may even bring back paper balls that you threw away.

8. Manx

Lifespan:	20 years
Temperament:	Gentle and playful
Colors:	Wide variety

Another kind of cat with a bobbed tail is the Manx cat, which is native to the British Isles. As a result of its smaller size and heavier weight, it’s more common in the United States than in Japan.

Manx cats are prone to a cardiac condition that can kill them in their first few years, but if they survive, they have a fair chance of surviving to be at least 20 years old. When it’s time to play, these cats will bring one of their toys to you.

9. Burmilla

Lifespan:	13 – 16 years
Temperament:	Easy going and laid back
Colors:	Lilac, brown, black, blue, chocolate, red, and more

Born in the late ’80s, the Burmilla cat is a relatively young breed. People who live in apartments will find it ideal due of its laid-back and easygoing nature.

Do not be fooled by their laid-back demeanor, as these cats like nothing more than a good game of fetch or watching birds on the computer screen.

Additionally, these cats have a knack for solving riddles and are adept at getting into cupboards and closets.

10. Abyssinian

Lifespan:	12 years
Temperament:	Intelligent, extroverted, and active
Colors:	Ruddy, sorrel, blue, fawn, chocolate, silver, lilac

Many individuals find the Abyssinian cat’s body shape and piercing stare appealing. If you’re looking for an outgoing cat, look no further than this breed.

As a result of their passion of hunting, these cats will frequently wait until you pass by before leaping out at you. In the process of practicing stalking, you’ll see it doing the same thing to its toys.

One drawback of this breed is its shorter average lifespan of 12 years, which is much less than the average lifespan of other breeds.
