I'm ALL for the Persian. There are some that are less friendly but I found over all the Persians to be a wonderful friendly sort. I'd search long and hard to be sure though. Female Persians are smaller than the males typically.Originally Posted by reddicequeen

I agree, my cats have totally different personalities. They are both Siamese and Neko is 9-10 pounds while Willie is not full grown and at 8 months only weighs 5 pounds. Neko is very friendly and follows me everywhere once I'm settled on a couch he will come and lay on me but if you place him on your lap he will jump off and he is easily disturbed by your movements when he is on your lap. he is shy around strangers in our house but will eventually get used to them enough if they are here a while but prefers if they do not touch him. Willie on the other hand will follow me everywhere and always want to be held. He is a shoulder cat so he likes to hand over my shoulder and rub my head with his face (and clean my ear yuck!). When strangers come over he runs over to them and rubs them or jumps on their shoulder (which frightens out guests) and likes to be in the middle of everything. I know when our breeder had Neko's litter his wife had a premature baby soon after they were born, the baby was at the hospital and so was the breeder, so he may have not had much time for them. Willie on the other hand had there full attention.I think the lap friendly affectionate part depends how much the kittens are handled by the breeder and every cat has their own personality.
