When looking for pets that are more suited to Horace’s apartment life, you can’t go wrong with cats. These pets are quiet and clean. They also love curling up with their humans. But there are some cat breeds that can thrive better in apartment living. Typically, these are the more social, lower-energy ones that are also very good at bonding with people. Here are seven breeds that are among the best ones for apartment living.
British Shorthair
This short-haired cat is a favorite because they are independent but still affectionate.

They make very good apartment pets because they need minimal grooming and can easily adapt to their owner’s lifestyle.
Persian
If you like quiet & fluffy pets, then the Persian might be the cat for you. Favoring long naps to rowdy play, these cats are also beautiful & gentle. Persians are about as mellow as it gets. They also do well in apartments with little room.
