Bichon Frise
The bichon frise is one of several small breeds on our list, which could mean their feline roommates will outweigh them. Not a problem for this incredibly active, cuddly dog. They’re playful and curious (hello, cats climbing into closets) yet need long periods of rest and relaxation (hello, cats falling asleep in closets).
Their tiny, fluffy bodies are perfect for snuggling, and they don’t like being left alone, which makes them good partners for cats who like to sleep in bed all day while you’re at work. We don’t recommend bichons if you’ve got a temperamental, older cat who needs space. If you’ve got kittens, though, have at it.
