i really want to get a cat but my dad is allergic to them. he said that i could get a cat if i pay for ever thing including the cat and make sure he doesn’t get an allergic reaction. we have a huge room downstairs that’s filled with Windows and fly screens. i want to keep the cat there and the room is big enough for the cat to get lots of exercise. i have 2 dogs so the cat will have to be sociable to dogs or else i wont be able to get a cat. i have a hepa air purifier and vacuum and hypoallergenic cat shampoo. i have even got a specially designed brush that attracts the allergen and picks up hair fibers and dander. if worst comes to worst my dad said he would even get the allergy shots or take medication for it but he would prefer not too. i have heaps of other ideas but my main concern is getting the cat. i don’t want to get a completely hairless cat or a semi hairless cat like the cornish rex or the devon rex because they don’t have very good temperaments and do not get along with dogs. Can you please suggest a good lap cat that is small, has short fur, has a great temperament (loves to be held and patted) gets along with dogs and doesn’t shed much. i know its allot to ask but as many breeds as you can find will be great

also is it true that if you handle a kitten allot when its young it will get used to it? thanks.

I am looking for a breed of cat with the following characteristics: 1. lap cat; 2.) loves to be held/carried 3.) likes to get under the covers 4.) loves cuddling/petting 5.) is trainable and loyal like a dog 6.) is laid-back and doesn’t mind my noisy and not-really-a-cat-person fiance 7.) doesn’t need a lot of grooming. I searched similar Yahoo! Q&A’s as well as the CFA profiles and found that Burmese, Ragdoll, Main Coon, and American Bobtail seem most to match these criteria. I would get a kitten in order to help mold his personality (yes, I woud get a male - more affectionate that females). In YOUR experience with cats, what would you suggest?

I really want a lap cat but all the lap cat breeds have smushed faces which leads to respiratory problems, is there another breed that is like a lap cat, also would a toyger be close to the affection level of a lap cat
would tabby cats be a lap cat?
