I feel that purebreed and mixed breeds cats are both just as friendly;and loveabule! You? Or do you have to be a owner of only purebreed?

I've never had a purebred, so I don't know. My preference is for personalities not pedigrees.

Mine too!!!

I love mutts!! I love everything about them! I would love to some day have a british shorthair and a rag doll, but as long as there is kitties that need homes, it's mutts for me!

I would adopt every adult cat in the pound if it were soley up to me but since my boyfriend is into purebreds, we have purebreds. I am just happy that he loves cats as much as I do. Any cat is great to me! The cats don't choose to be pure-breds or mutts. I love them all the same, either way they are all looking for a furrever home with loving parents.

I don't see anything wrong with breeding purebreds (provided the breeder is doing it with the best interests of the cats in mind and educating themselves, etc...). However, if you offered me a Ragdoll, Maine Coon, Sphynx and a Russian Blue in exchange for my two kitties, I would turn you down in a heartbeat! My snugglybugs come from a rescue society and right off the street, but I love them just as much as if I knew them from kittenhood. I think most people who really love cats for themselves don't really care that much, though they may have purebreds, like Ginger.

and they are all equal to me!

This is my first time with a purebred.

In the past I have dealt with both ferals and shelter rescues. I love them all, and just like people they all have their own special way of sneaking into your heart!

:heart3:

I always make a commitment to take care of any cat I adopt for the rest of its life. So my main concern is that the cat will have a good personality, and will be compatible with the rest of my household and our lifestyle.

We have 3 bengals and our other 2 are not purebreds. I have found that Fluffy & Cinnamon, our rescuees, are more laid-back, but are more skidish & temperments; whereas the bengals are not. Either way, I like them all :)

Doesn't matter to me... Spike isn't a purebred, but to me, he's the best little guy in the world. :lovegrin:

I :heart2: domestics! I especially :heart2: Tuxedos and Orange Tabbies!

I love my Max so much. I got him from the Humane Society. I wouldn't trade him for any other cat.

We have a tuxedo "moggy", or European domestic shorthair, from a humane society. I grew up with purebred dogs and cats (had an Applehead Siam ("Thai" in Europe) for 23 years,in addition to several stray alley cats, a Dalmatian, Beagle, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Boxer, Airedales and Black Labs - generally 2 - 5 dogs at any given time, and at least 1 cat), but most of them were from the SPCA, and once I was "out on my own" I decided that any pet I had would be from the "pound". My family now only adopts pets. Although I find many purebred cats beautiful (Bengal, Siam, Russian Blue, Angora, among others), I find that the moggies are the true cats, not "mutts", and are often healthier than purebreds. There are so many unwanted/unloved animals out there that I couldn't justify it to myself to buy an animal from a breeder. That is not meant as criticism of breeders! However, I do object to irresponsible people who "model" cats with questionable attributes, for example Sphynx and Munchkins. I realize that most breeders are not out for profit, and spend a great deal of time and effort on perfecting their breed, but it's just not my thing.
