Chapter 4: Choosing a breed for your lifestyle

Before falling for a photo, think honestly about your daily routine. A high-energy breed like a Bengal needs play and climbing space, while a laid-back Ragdoll suits a quieter apartment. In Malaysia, many owners live in condos with shared corridors, so consider how much noise and activity your cat will add. Meet adult cats in person when possible, since kittens can change as they grow. Match the breed to the time, space and attention you can genuinely give.
