They can be, especially with calm, respectful children who let the cat set the pace. Their sensitivity to noise and rough handling means very busy households may not suit every individual.
They are moderately talkative and often use soft chirps and trills rather than loud calls. Many become chattier when they want play or attention.
Shedding is light to moderate thanks to the short, fine coat. A weekly brush is normally enough, with a little more during seasonal changes.
