Generally yes. They are sociable and playful and enjoy lively homes, provided children handle them gently.
They are chatty but usually softer-voiced than a Siamese. Expect regular conversation, especially when they want attention or a meal.
Shedding is light thanks to the fine short coat, and a weekly brush is enough for most.
