Modern living conditions increasingly make a person experience loneliness and feel the need for a friend - a pet that you can take care of. Therefore, increasingly, city dwellers make furry friends. And cat lovers justify their choice by the fact that dogs need a more organized and complete supervision, while cats are more independent, unpretentious and live well in an apartment, without requiring every second attention of the owners.

Some people prefer cats of the calmest breeds, although you need to consider that such a cat that will lie on the couch all day does not exist. However, for living in an apartment, you can choose a breed whose representative will be perfectly able to adapt and get along with all family members and young children.
