All Independent Cat Breeds

If you work full time or your kids have busy after-school schedules, you need a pet that’s comfortable staying home alone for several hours at a time. Although they love quality time with their humans, independent cat breeds like Russian Blues or Persians are perfectly content to entertain themselves with toys and plenty of cat naps while you’re away. You can't ignore these self-sufficient felines completely, however. They still need playtime, snuggles and other attention from you.
