A pet should be chosen not only based on personal preferences, but also based on its character and lifestyle.
Older people, for example, will find it difficult to cope with an active Bengal or a wayward Siamese cat.
What breeds should pensioners pay attention to?
British cat
This is probably the best choice for an elderly person. British cats are extremely delicate, calm and have a very balanced character.
Their lifestyle is ideal for retirees.
Persian cat
These beauties with perfect fur are also distinguished by their calm nature. They are very docile as a pet.
The only difficulty will be in providing adequate care for the excellent coat.
Sphinx
This breed is one of the smartest and most understanding: the Sphynx literally "reads" its owners and their emotional state.
Such a pet will not be naughty or mischievous. Therefore, the sphinx can also become a wonderful friend for the elderly.
