Best-matched service
Yes, they are typically patient and sturdy. They prefer to approach in their own time, so children should let the cat come to them.
They shed heavily in spring and autumn when the undercoat changes. Regular combing keeps the coat manageable through the rest of the year.
They can, provided there is space to climb and play, though many enjoy fresh air in a secured garden or catio. Cool rooms suit their thick coat better than heat.
