Let's find your feline match.

13 questions, 4 chapters, 2 minutes.

9 questions are required: they carry an asterisk. The others refine the ranking, you can skip them.

Your home

Your home and access to the outdoors set the first limit: the volume, the height, the territory.

  1. What kind of home do you live in? (required question)
    Why this question?

    Housing influences the score without excluding a breed on its own. Assess space, enrichment and daily activity together.

  2. What kind of life will your cat have? (required question)
    Why this question?

    This choice clarifies the independence you prefer. Play style and available time separately determine compatible activity needs.

Your household

Who already lives here, and how much cat experience you have.

  1. How old is the youngest child at home? (required question)
    Why this question?

    It is the youngest child's age that sets how much handling the cat has to tolerate.

  2. Do you have other pets? Multiple answers allowed
    Why this question?

    Living with a dog calls for a breed that tolerates other species. With a cat already at home, what matters is how well it gets on with its own kind.

  3. How much experience do you have with cats? (required question)
    Why this question?

    A first cat is easier with a steady, undemanding breed. Experienced owners can handle more demanding breeds (Bengal, Abyssinian).

Your rhythm and your budget

The time, the money and the play you can put in, honestly.

  1. What monthly budget do you have in mind? (required question)
    Why this question?

    Each breed's estimated cost is compared with this budget. Possible overruns are flagged; if no breed meets the limit, we show alternatives with their cost. Allow separately for unexpected expenses.

  2. How much time a day can you spend with your cat? (required question)
    Why this question?

    Some breeds (Siamese, Oriental) suffer from long stretches alone. Others (European Shorthair, Chartreux) are more self-sufficient.

  3. What kind of play and activity will you share? (required question)
    Why this question?

    Cats differ a lot here: a Persian enjoys quiet company, a Bengal or an Abyssinian asks for active play sessions several times a day.

Your preferences

What you are really after, and what you would not live with.

  1. Which traits matter to you? Multiple answers allowed
    Why this question?

    Fine-tunes the recommendations on specific qualities. Picking too many dilutes the signal — focus on what really counts.

  2. Any dealbreakers? Multiple answers allowed
    Why this question?

    Noise, upkeep and shedding limits are checked separately and compromises are flagged. The allergy filter keeps breeds listed as reputedly better tolerated, without an individual guarantee: discuss adoption with an allergist.

  3. How much time will you give to the coat? (required question)
    Why this question?

    Long-haired cats (Persian, Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest) need daily brushing. Short-haired breeds (European Shorthair, Bengal) are almost self-maintaining.

  4. What coat appeals to you?
    Why this question?

    Aesthetic preference: it shapes the ranking without ruling any breed out. Grooming time is covered by the previous question.

  5. How close do you want your cat to be? (required question)
    Why this question?

    1 = an independent cat that lives its own life, 5 = a constant shadow, Ragdoll or Sphynx style.

    Very independent Very affectionate, "velcro cat"
