Personality
Quiet and peaceful, the Chinchilla is not a very active cat, nor a partcularly demanding one. They are very loyal and affectionate with their owners, and do enjoy company. The Chinchilla doesn’t love cat exercise too much and can become lazy. They do need some motivating to play and move and, if you’re thinking about leaving your cat home alone, they don’t cope well – especially if it’s over long periods. Although, they will get along well with other household pets if raised appropriately and socialised well when young.
This is more of a cuddling, grooming, pampering cat than a boisterous companion, so don’t expect too much mayhem or intricate problem solving!
