others bond closely to one person and are indifferent to everyone else; and some shower the whole family with affection. Breed isn't the only factor that goes into affection levels; cats who were raised inside a home with people around feel more comfortable with humans and bond more easily. See Cats Less Affectionate with Family5If you're going to share your home with a cat, you'll need to deal with some level of cat hair on your clothes and in your house. However, shedding does vary among the breeds. If you're a neatnik you'll need to either pick a low-shedding breed, or relax your standards. See Cats with Low Amount of Shedding2Due to poor breeding practices, some breeds are prone to certain genetic health problems. This doesn't mean that every cat of that breed will develop those diseases; it just means that they're at an increased risk. If you're looking only for purebred cats or kittens, it's a good idea to find out which genetic illnesses are common to the breed you're interested in.
See Cats Prone to Health Problems1Some cats are perpetual kittens — full of energy and mischief — while others are more serious and sedate. Although a playful kitten sounds endearing, consider how many games of chase the mouse-toy you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other animals who can stand in as playmates. See Cats with Low Potential for Playfulness2Being tolerant of children, sturdy enough to handle the heavy-handed pets and hugs they can dish out, and having a nonchalant attitude toward running, screaming youngsters are all traits that make a kid-friendly cat. Our ratings are generalizations, and they're not a guarantee of how any breed or individual cat will behave; cats from any breed can be good with children based on their past experiences and personality. See Least Kit Friendly Cats2Stranger-friendly cats will greet guests with a curious glance or a playful approach; others are shy or indifferent, perhaps even hiding under furniture or skedaddling to another room.
However, no matter what the breed, a cat who was exposed to lots of different types, ages, sizes, and shapes of people as a kitten will respond better to strangers as an adult. See Cats Shy Toward Strangers1Some breeds require very little in the way of grooming; others require regular brushing to stay clean and healthy. Consider whether you have the time and patience for a cat that needs daily brushing. See Cats That Need to Groom2Friendliness toward other household animals and friendliness toward humans are two completely different things. Some cats are more likely than others to be accepting of other pets in the home.

One of the principal members of the Dutch artistic movement called De Stijl, Rietveld is famous for his Red and Blue Chair and for the Rietveld Schröder House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Fifties were an exuberant time. The US thrived in its post-war recovery and the outlook was positive, despite the Cold War with its looming nuclear threat. Dynamic designs were influenced by science, space exploration and new and improved technologies. Room and furniture designs were innovative for their time—yet endured throughout the following decades because of their modernity and classic appeal. Still, other ’50s design trends fell out of favor over time, but are experiencing a renewed popularity today. There were three major color trends in the 50s; pastel, modern and Scandinavian. Pastel colors that were particularly popular were pink, turquoise, mint green, pale yellow and blue. Modern colors were clean and bright and included vibrant yellow, electric blue, orange, red, black and white. The desired result with a modern color scheme was to create a marked contrast between colors. The Scandinavian color scheme was sophisticated and heavily influenced by nature.
The Scandinavian color palette included shades of brown, cream, gray and green. For the first time ever in the ’50s, paint colors were available in any possible hue. (A ’50s advertisement for Colorizer brand paints declared that their paint was available in 1,322 colors!) Black, white and red as a color scheme was huge! Turquoise was extremely popular. Bold designs such as stars, stripes, checks and polka dots came into vogue. As did atomic graphics inspired by space and science like planets, galaxies and the famous “Boomerang” pattern, which were all used on wallpaper, tablecloths, curtains and furniture fabrics. Fabrics with fruit, flowers and abstract designs were everywhere. A heavy, tight-woven cotton fabric called “bark cloth” became available in a range of modern designs (like the atomic prints, but also in floral and tropical prints), and was used for furnishings like curtains, drapery and upholstery. Ranging from comfortable upholstered traditional furniture, to Scandinavian with light-colored woods and clean lines, to space age, organic shapes (think boomerang-shaped coffee table).
Chrome and vinyl chairs paired with chrome-legged tables with Formica tops were both fashionable and durable. Laminated plywood furniture with very clean lines, bent into comfortable curved furniture (known now as “Eames” style, because of the remarkable influence of designer Charles Eames with his revolutionary designs). Home bars became important, now that the emphasis was on entertaining. Homeowners now had a lot more leisure time, necessitating picnic and outdoor furniture as well as grills and all the accessories to go with it. Since its introduction, linoleum had been considered a lackluster, utilitarian product for flooring. In the 1950s linoleum flooring was restyled by manufacturers, like Armstrong, to be more colorful and dynamic. It was made available in bright, trendy colors and patterns and was promoted for use in nearly every room in the house. Linoleum tiles were placed into patterns by alternating colors. Black-and-white and red-and-white checkered floors were very popular.
Hardwood was still a popular flooring material. Although carpets have been popular for ages, installed wall-to-wall carpet was something new and became available in a wide range of colors and textures. Atomic age motifs appeared on glassware and fabrics. Sunburst and atomic clocks are made of metal and wood. Plastic is used as a material for accessories for the first time. Among the things that could be found in a ’50s kitchen were chrome appliances, pastel plastics, enamel-coated or stainless steel canisters and bread bins. Colorful Melamine and melmac dishware and bowls, as well as Tupperware storage containers, were very popular. Lamps were no longer just for practical purposes, but became interior decorating statements with dynamic shapes that were sculptural (shaped like animals such as poodles and gazelles), as well as geometric and abstract (think atomic). These lamps were topped with fiberglass parchment or fabric shades in solids, atomic or geometric prints.
Aimed at creating more leisure time by making tasks like housework easier and quicker generated the production of numerous countertop appliances for the kitchen, like chrome and stainless steel mixers, blenders and coffeemakers. Clean looking enameled steel kitchen cupboards in white with colorful Formica countertops were preferred. People who could afford them installed double ovens, and every home had a washer and dryer. Laminates and vinyl were now available for tablecloths, furniture and wallpaper and the colors they came in were more vibrant than ever. Colored ceramic fixtures and tile in bathrooms were all the rage—especially in pink and other pastels. Entertainment in the home was revolutionized now that nearly every household could afford a television and a turntable. Characteristic of 1950s design are clean designs with a Scandinavian influence, space and atomic age-inspired shapes, also known as Mid-Century Modern. This now traditional style continues to be popular, but is achieved today with new materials.
