Ragdoll
Ragdolls act a lot like dogs. They’re excited to greet you at the door and welcome you home, then follow you around until they get some lovin’. They’ll even camp out on your bed and snuggle with you all night long. Their interest in other species isn’t limited to humans; they love dogs, too. “The Ragdoll can learn to walk on a leash and could even go for joint walks with your dog,” Dr Marks says.
Turkish Van
If you have a dog that would rather live in the water than on the land, the Turkish Van could be your pup’s water buddy. These felines sport water-resistant, cashmere-like coats that make swimming a breeze, and they’ve been dubbed “the Swimming Cats” in their native regions of central and southwest Asia. “They love to be around and play in the water, and they can live harmoniously with dogs in the home, even playing games of fetch and retrieval, too,” Dr Marks adds.
Turkish Angora
“The trickster of the cat world, this breed is hilariously funny and even loves playing pranks on resident canine siblings,” Dr Marks says. Highly sociable and affectionate, Turkish Angoras happily welcome other furry roommates, including dogs. Fair warning, though: Your dog may not be the pack leader when a Turkish Angora is in the house. These cats tend to have an assertive nature and a commanding presence that makes them the “alpha” pet in the household.
