A short-coated, very active and playful cat that needs only a regular soft brush or a comb a few times a month to control shedding. The CFA calls it an excellent choice for families with children. GCCF says it can adapt to a contained home if given toys, scratching posts and high spaces, though secure outdoor space is ideal.
