No, I'm not crazy about Persians, or Rex or Sphinx cats. It's just a matter of personal prefence about asthetics. I also don't care for how some breeds have been taken to extremes. I love the traditional Siamese, but the modern Siamese is more of a characture of a cat. For sheer good looks I like a plush coated shorthair Like the British Shorthair. But like I said, for personality, you can't beat a Maine Coon.
Aside from Sphinx (hairless), Rex (short curled coat), and orientals (thin smooth coat) who are sensative to cold, cats are not scared of cold, or hurt by cold, but they are hedonistic; they would much prefer to be warm and comfortable.
