Calm Temperament Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with calm temperament.
British Shorthair
A stocky, dense cat with a round face and a thick plush coat. Originally working cats brought to Britain by the Romans. Today they are calm, patient, and largely content to sit beside you rather than on you.
British Longhair
The long-haired version of the British Shorthair. Same round face and calm temperament. The coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting.
Domestic Shorthair White
A fully white domestic shorthair. White cats with blue eyes often have a hearing impairment due to how the white gene affects inner ear development.
Scottish Straight
The straight-eared version of the Scottish Fold. Same round face and body type. Breeding two Folds together causes skeletal problems, so Straights are essential to maintaining the breed.
Himalayan
A colour-pointed Persian. Flat face, long coat, blue eyes from the Siamese side of its ancestry. Calm and quiet. Prefers a settled, low-activity home.
Ragamuffin
Related to the Ragdoll. Large, plush, and relaxed. Their coats come in more colour variations than the Ragdoll's colour-point-only pattern.
