Cats that shed very little

Thanks! Sounds like one cat and one hairbrush are in order. I appreciate it.

That would be a Russian Blue--sweet little cats that fetch like dogs
and seem to always be smiling--and relatively very little shedding
compared to that of other cats.

These would be the sphynx cats. I am not sure that they like to be held,
however. Sphynx cats are known to be active cats. Devon Rexes have a curly coat
that barely shed. But they too are known to be active cats. There are also the
Asian single coat breeds - the Siamese, Korat, and Burmese. These cats have
little to no undercoat and shed very little. They are all active cats, although
the Burmese are known to be lap cats. I have a Korat girl who enjoys being held
when she is not bouncing from wall to wall.

I am unsure how predictable a cat's disposition is. Cats, like people, vary so
much individually. In contrast, a breed's coat is predictable, as breeders
breed their cats' coat to confirm to the breed's standard.

I saw several hairless cats at the Humane Society on one visit. Might
look there first.
