Yes, they are among the more talkative breeds and will comment on your day in a clear, strong voice. Company and play reduce the noise but will not switch it off.
Less than many longhairs because they lack a dense undercoat, though they still shed some. Weekly combing keeps the coat smooth and loose hair under control.
They cope better with company, so a second cat or a midday visit is a good idea. Regular play and puzzle toys make the hours alone easier.
