Are Sokoke cats good pets for first-time cat owners?

Sokoke cats are not ideal for first-time cat owners due to their high intelligence and social needs. They rank 4/5 for Obedience and Problem Solving, and 5/5 for Social Intelligence, indicating a need for significant engagement. Their high energy and keen intellect require owners who can provide ample mental and physical stimulation. While loyal, they are better suited for experienced owners or highly dedicated first-timers prepared for an active, demanding companion.
