Short description

The Snowshoe Longhair has a relaxed character. She needs both activities and rest. If the apartment is big enough she is a nice indoor-cat. She needs a calm environment and does not like loud noises and disturbance. Give her spaces for retreat. She is curious, playful and very attached to her family.

This information is indicative and adheres to the breed standard. Each animal is an individual and has a personal character, as well as its own needs. Thus, a breed is not a guarantee of certain behaviors, etc.
