Many cat parents prefer a quiet cat, especially those who live in apartments where neighbors might complain about late night yowls and meows.
While many of us are perfectly fine with vocal cats, quiet cats can make pretty lovely companions. Quiet cats are usually also mild mannered and easy to get along with.
If you’re in the market to rescue or adopt a cat, there are many naturally quiet cat breeds that you can look out for in shelters and rescues. However, even if you already have a vocal cat, you can still train your kitty to be a bit quieter.
Here’s what you need to know about quiet cats!
Naturally Quiet Cat Breeds
You can find just about any kind of cat through a shelter or rescue, so keep an eye out for quiet breeds if that’s what you’re looking for. In fact, CatTime’s adoption page lets you search for adoptable cats by breed and location!
Adopt! Don’t shop!
This is by no means an exhaustive list of quiet cats, but it is a good start if you’re looking to adopt a quiet cat. Keep in mind that cats have different personalities, and just because they’re typically a quiet breed doesn’t mean that they’ll turn out to be less vocal.
Maintaining your cat’s good health, providing enough mental stimulation, and giving them attention are all important factors for keeping your cat calm, quiet, and happy, no matter which breed they might be. And even cats not listed above can learn to be less vocal with the right training!
