Top 6+ Cat Breeds for People Who Love Dogs
3) Turkish Van
"Turkish Vans are reported to be very active and have great character and personality. Being so agile and often loving joining in with games, makes them perfect for dog lovers who enjoy a playful breed," adds Gemma.
"Due to the speed of their movements, they can be quite clumsy and may knock things over during their energetic play! Similarly to some dogs, they are known for their love of water, so you may find that they will try to join you in the shower.
"Not known for being a snuggly breed, they are unlikely to curl up quietly on your lap, as they prefer to be high up and will commonly be found on the highest part of the room. They can make a devoted companion and can be very dog-like, often following their owner around."
4) Korat
Korat cats are another breed that makes great pets for dog people.
Gemma tells us: "The Korat often loves to be involved in your daily activities! You'll find the Korat on your lap, by your side, or even on top of your laptop. Excellent problem solvers, you'll need your wits about you as they are known to master opening containers or opening cupboards.
"Korats most commonly love to play and like their canine friends, can often be trained to fetch a ball. Their vocabulary even ranges from a dog like low growl to a high shriek. The Korat tend to adore people, and would enjoy a home where someone is around most of the time."
6) Domestic cats
And finally, many domestic cats are brilliant for dog people.
"Domestic cats are of mixed ancestry and so their temperaments and appearance vary greatly between individuals. They can have very different body types, shapes and builds depending on the breeds in their genetic history," says Gemma.
"Similarly, they can have very different personalities and temperaments. Some may be very lively whilst others are much more laid back, so there's a Domestic cat to suit most people! In general, domestic cats are active, highly intelligent and excellent hunters."
