but I'm new so can that be a good excuse?
My question is... what is your favorite domestic breed? Exotic breed? If you had any choice, no matter what, what kind of a cat would you like to have as a pet? Feel free to dream away... sigh... I know I do when it comes to my favorite breeds


For an exotic, I would love to have a Savanna -- ever since I saw (
)the breed back in HS I've had a special place for them -- I think my hubby and I are definitly going to wait until our girls are grown however, before we actually get one.

Of course then I also LOVE Norweigan Forest Cats and Siberians -- something about that long fluffy coat and pretty eyes


For a household domestic kitty, I would have to say calicos are my fav. I love the "Halloween" ones that are black, orange, and white. And I really like the kitties we have right now

Domestic breeds are always great

As for purebreds: # 1: Exotic Shorthair - can't resist their smushy faces
: Other favorites are: Maine Coons, Norweigan Forest Cats, Persians, Russian Blues, Ragdoll, Snowshoe, & several others

I like purebreds that look and move like little jaguars; bengals, ocicats, maus. I grew up wanting a maine coon, but ended up with a mau.

I like black and white cow cats for domestics.

Under the cats, mostly.
I have a soft spot for any cat with "problems". From having only three legs to brain damage to being really raggedy round the edges. I like the "broken kitties".

Still, long haired/semi-longhaired breeds are my preferences. Oh and odd-eyed. I'd love to have a ragdoll some time though

I definitely prefer the mixed breeds, especially long haired kitties. Black and white kitties are my favorite colors.

But if I have to pick a purebred I'd say my favorites are Bengals, Siamese, and Russian Blues.

Let's see...we've almost always had a black cat. And I grew up with Siamese, so I love those blue eyes. I think odd eyed kitties are cool - we've had 3 of them. And I love really big cats, so I love having a Ragdoll!

Regular ol mixed breed kitties.
I like black, grey and orange cats...and calicos but I am always the one that gets adopted so I don't choose.


If I could have a certain breed.... I do like ragdolls and bengals.

My favorite "domestic" breed is Oriental Shorthairs. I think they are so awesome.

Favorite "exotic" is Savannahs. I'll never own one though. I know they arent the cat for me.

If I could have any cat right now it would be a mostly white calico.

At the kitty's beck and call
Well, 4 out of our 5 are rescues, 3 of them moggies. I love them dearly and they're all individual.

But as far as purebreds go, well I already have the pleasure of being the slave to my dream purebreed kitties - my two roguish Singapuras.

I also look at Bengals, Egyptian Maus and Abys and just go awwwww. But then again, that's pretty my reaction when I see any kitty

Breeds... hmm. Siamese, maybe? Apple-head, not the extreme type; I don't like the way breed standards are going to extremes. But a cat who loves to be nearby, insists on attention, and is intelligent and probably a peck of trouble? Yes, please!

As for colors, I will always love brown tabbies.
