He hates cuddling but I've managed to get him used to it at least. They're bffs

    My cat named Tabby is a domestic short hair cat and she likes so lay in the sun, likes both dry and wet food. She is pretty playful! Tabby’s name was inspired by her fur color which is a mix of tabby and calico.

Both of my kids have 2 DSH kittens (5 months old) and they're brothers: The oldest is a ginger (orange)~>my oldest child's and white cat & the younger kitten is black and white~>my youngest child's. Both of my kids adore their kittens and bonded with them. The kittens are very affectionate and smart. We love both of our kittens very much.

      They certainly can be! But every cat is different. In my opinion, domestic shorthairs have the widest range of personalities since they come from such mixed origins. When it comes to affection, the most important thing to do is to socialize the cat as soon as possible, no matter the breed.

    They are not a "mix of breeds." Purebred cats (that is, cats deliberately bred by humans to create and maintain a specific look) are a recent phenomenon and account for only a small percentage of the world's cats. The domestic shorthair is simply the descendant of cats brought to North America by Europeans -- none of its ancestors were ever "pure breeds" because none of its ancestors were ever deliberately bred by humans.
