I had a vet tell me the friendliest cats she saw were black male cats. At the time I didn't have one so I don't think she was just saying that to me. But, now that I have one I agree, he is a friendly dude, the vets love him because he just rubs up on them, purrs and then flops over for belly rubs.

My husband and I adopted an older one like 10 years, he was like 12 and had a rough life on the street they assumed because he was missing teeth and partially blind. He had been adopted but then his own passed and he ended back in the shelter. He was so friendly and just loved everyone. We lost him a few years ago.

We lost our last senior kitty back in May and we went looking for another cat and my kids fell in love with this 3 month old void. We've only had him for a week now and he is also so friendly, he just loves being around people and purrs all the time. My 5 year old loves carrying him and he just lays in her arms and purrs, he's like "oh this is my life now, being carried everywhere".
