What is your favorite cat breed?

If there is a favorite cat breed or a bunch of favorite breeds, which cat breed(s) do you like most? And why?



My favorite would be Leopard cat



and Bengal cat.


They just look awesome like mini leopards with their spotted pattern !

For breeds, my favorite is defenitly the Somali. It's a long haired Abasinian, but with a silky, draping coat, not fluffy like a Persian. Close second would be American or British Shorthair in the silver clasic (swirl) tabby pattern. Now, that's my favorites for apearance. For personality, I'll take a Maine Coon; cuddly and mello.

Do you not like Persian cats?

I have no clear ideas of cat breeds lol.But the above cats look nice and awesome.The cats I keep at home look like Leopard cat?And i like them.I just know they are afraid of coldness.For other cats,i'm not sure whether they are sensitive to temperature lol.

Alley cat. LOL That is the only kind I have ever had. When it comes to cats there are only a couple actual breeds I would know when seen. Siamese and Main Coon, well, and there is Persian. I've never had any of those.

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.

I have no idea what breed(s) mine are. If I knew how to get photo's from my e-mail to this site I would show them to you. Some one told me "right click" on the photo to do something but this mouse is wireless and does not have a left/right click....so... we remain without photo's

Lots of cats aren't pure breed. There is no racism among them. So they mix well.

You can download photos from email with several ways. Some email have option for you to click "download", and as long as you are not on a mac, you should have a two button mouse.

I think every cat I've had and most of the one's I've rescued are mixed breed. I refer to my Maine Coon as such because he has many of the traits of that breed; He has the boxy muzzle, the huge paws with toe tufts, the large size (though at 16 pounds he's a bit small for a purebred), and the mello nature. He could be a non show-quality purebred, or he could be a Main Coon mix; he just showed up in my yard so I don't have papers for him.

I have always loved the larger cats, as well as the longer haired varieties. I have a big Maine coon, she's my girl. I have been thinking of getting a Bengal or a Savannah for a while. They fascinate me. But my house has as many cats as it needs for the time being, so that will have to wait.

A few years ago, I have seen some videos on youtube about a type of large cat that has unusual long legs. They are also very energetic. People can walk these cats like if they are dogs. They are close to wild though, but that's what people after. I don't recall the name of those cats.

Those are most likely the savanahs. They are a cross of a serval and domestic cats. They like water, very active, and people do walk them. There are people producing them in different combinations, so they are 50% serval (f1's), or then breed that back with a DSH so it's 25% serval, etc...

Ah, "F1". That term sounds familiar when I learned about Savannah cat. It must be them. Thanks for reminding me.
