They get treats on command, shamelessly steal your favourite spot on the sofa, and know exactly how to make you get up right now to do their bidding. Sound familiar? Then there’s a good chance one of the most spoilt cat breeds is ruling your home. In this blog, you’ll discover which breeds are experts at securing a life of luxury – and why we, as devoted owners, are more than happy to play along.
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. And we’re lucky if we’re paid in head-butts.
Why some breeds are more spoilt than others
Any cat can be spoilt, but some breeds have a few tricks up their paws that make it easier for them to get their way.
It often comes down to:
- Character: Affectionate and social cats attract attention more easily and more often get something extra.
- Appearance: Do you see him as a little prince or princess? Then it is likely that you treat him that way too.
- Smart behavior: Some cats have trained you better than you have trained them. Cats quickly discover that meowing, head butting, or looking at you for a long time yields immediate results and so they do it even more often.
The Top 7 Most Spoilt Cat Breeds

💡 Why they get spoilt: Their easy-going nature means they often get whatever they want – extra playtime, long cuddle sessions… you name it.
2. Persian cat
With their soft coat and calm demeanour, they quickly gain “VIP status” in the home.
💡 Why they get spoilt: Their coat needs daily combing and brushing, which also means lots of one-on-one attention.
3. Sphynx
Always on your lap, under a blanket, or snuggled up next to you.
💡Why they get spoilt: They feel the cold easily, so they get wrapped up in blankets, cosy jumpers and endless warmth. And really… who can say no to that face?

5. Siberian cat
Energetic, curious, and always up for interaction.
💡Why they get spoilt: Owners invest in tall climbing trees, challenging toys, and sometimes even outdoor adventures so they can burn off their energy.
6. Maine Coon
They are large, social, and often smarter than you think.
💡 Why they are pampered: Their size calls for sturdy Cat trees and large litter boxes. Owners like to invest in them, and often special food and extra pampering moments are involved as well.
7. Bengal
Always on the move, intelligent, and thrives on challenge.
💡Why they get spoilt: They get bored quickly, so they’re often treated to puzzle toys, brain games and plenty of active play sessions: anything to keep that curious mind busy.
Are spoilt cats a problem?
Not really. As long as your cat stays healthy, gets enough exercise, and doesn’t get everything through unwanted behaviour, a bit of spoiling is mostly a sign of love. In fact, that extra attention and those fun toys can actually boost their happiness.
It’s all about balance: your cat can enjoy the good life, but also needs to learn that not everything happens the moment they demand it.
