The animal shelter variety. The one that was a moment away from being "put down" seem to be most inclined to lay by my side for the remainder of their years.

Persian Siamese are too wild!

A domestic short haired one I have one and she is lazyyyyyyyyyy and nice they r great ones!

Go to the shelter, don't give into breeders!

Russian Blue- my first cat and he was just so great in general. Tabby-playful and funny as kittens and love to be lay with their owner, mine likes to read with my mom.

Young kittens are too full of play to be quiet. You should consider an older cat that is past that stage, and is willing to just lay around a lot. There's not really any breed that is known for being lazy. You can find exactly what you want for free at your local animal shelter. They will only charge you for the spay and shots.

I love ragdolls but then i would say that as i have two but if your looking for a cat that is not lazy a ragdoll would be a good choice as they love to play but not in a destructive way but also like lots of love if you want one that has tons of energy you could go for a bengal but they are not really a lap cat.

I have to toss in my voice with the "shelter" answers. Go to a shelter, play with the cats there, and pick the one you like the most. All of my cats have been rescues, mine I have taken off of the streets, and I find them to be very loving and appreciative. Unless you have the money for vet visits I would suggest going to a shelter rather than taking strays off of the streets, though. Rags' (my current cat) vet bills were some $1000 to $1500 to save his life. I would also like to say that older cats are less likely to be adopted and encourage you to think about adopting an older one. The vast majority of them are euthanized and I can tell you from first hand experience that an older cat makes a great pet too (I took Rags in when he was about 15).

First of all, you have a misconception about kittens and lazy. Kittens have a lot of energy and are far more active than adult cats. This is natural, as they spend the first year of their lives growing and learning all about their environment and themselves. Kittens, like puppies, need a LOT of personal attention to properly socialize them with their family (that's YOU). This isn't difficult...but you DO need to be consistent, you need to learn what behavior YOU need to exhibit in order to best get the socialization you wish, and you MUST be patient. When a kitten DOES sleep, he usually passes out pretty hard, because he just keeps going until he's exhausted. They will curl up and sleep wherever they are most comfortable. If that's with you, then great. It's also possible for you to move him onto your lap or next to you when he passes out like this because he will be TIRED. Rest assured, as your cat approaches adulthood, and old age, he will sleep upwards of 16 hours a day or more. Any breed will do in this respect. But for YOUR sake, pick a kitten that was properly weaned at the appropriate time and who has learned some basics from his mother first. These are the easiest for people to get along with initially, because they've already been trained by Mommy to use the litter box and they won't have anxieties caused by separation at too early a time. MANY shelters and pet stores have cats and kittens of various ages which were given up by previous owners for one reason or another. PetSmart is one pet store chain that has an adoption program like this. They have the history of the animal, it's name, breed, and some character traits listed for each. And you may play with and handle the cats/kittens to see how they react around you. I highly recommend these places because they are a great place to find a cat/kitten who needs a home. You may certainly buy one through a pet store, as well, if you wish. Regardless, remember that your new pet is a member of your family. Think about this in terms of a two decade commitment...through good times and bad, through times when you may be short on money and STILL have to buy food for the cat, when you may move to someplace else and must find a place that accepts pets, when the cat gets sick or injured. Depending on your current age, is is very likely that you will out live your cat. You have to be prepared for that. http://cats.about.com/cs/kittencare/a/kittencaretwo_3.htm http://www.petplace.com/cats/sleep-behavior-of-cats/page1.aspx My personal favorite breed? Any cute one will do, but preferably NOT a long haired breed. I just don't want to have to deal with the long hair. Oh, and my cat is polydactyl (she's got extra toes), so I'm partial to those, as well!
