in an interview with Newsweek Veterinary Content Company veterinarian Dr. Joanna Woodnutt named the Ragdoll as one of her favorite cats, second only to Siamese cats, when discussing the friendliest cat breeds in the world.
However, she noticed that the personalities of cats can vary widely, even within the same breed.
“All cats are unique, and their personalities vary widely, from overly friendly to smug,” she said.
“Additionally, how a cat is housed can make a big difference in the friendliness of a cat.”
