I think all cat owners have made this mistake: they go to the shelter or rescue and choose the cutest cat in the bunch, without even considering its temperament or personality. Then it turns out the cat ends up not being what they expected. Some are timid, some like to be petted and others don't, others love to play, while others will hide under the bed all day.  What are the friendliest cats? When you go to the shelter or rescue, always ask the people in charge what breeds the cats they have there resemble the most.  They will almost always tell you, "This one has a little Ragdoll in it, this other has a bit of Maine Coon", and many times you will find pure breeds that have been abandoned... so keep this list of the top ten friendliest cat breeds before you go to find the most wonderful treasure you will ever have.
