Cats love to play — some more than others. Some cats love to play with anything they can get their paws on, toy or not; if they can’t find an object to bat around, then they’ll invent something to keep entertained.
In the CatTime.com Cat Breed Center, 14 felines received the highest — five-star — rating for Potential for Playfulness Breed Characteristic. Here they are, in alphabetical order (and if your kitty isn’t on the list, it doesn’t mean she isn’t playful):

2. Bengal Cats
3. Burmilla Cats
4. Colorpoint Shorthair Cats

These lists are created in hopes of encouraging potential adopters to consider a range of breeds and breed mixes when adopting. Our goal is to generate awareness of the many types of pet-friendly cats, low-shed cats, and others, and to encourage people to look beyond the types they’ve always known. Each cat is an individual and should be evaluated as such.
