Short description
The Thai is a human-oriented cat, and is sometimes compared to a dog. She needs a lot of space and is suitable for families, because she likes the company of humans and other animals. She has a great urge to move and needs possibilities to climb and likes different toys. She is very attached, therefore, she needs a lot of cuddles.
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.
