Don't tell my hub, but I'd love to have one of all of them......

My very favorite is the Himalayan.....bred them for years, and up until last fall I had five of them, my original breeder pair and three of their offspring.

I really like British Shorthairs, I love that round little head!


Also like the Maine Coons, such beautiful cats.

I doubt I'll ever own a purebred though, to be honest. I live by this:

"Until there are none, rescue one...."

I have 2 abys and a Bengal cat.

My favorites are equally the aby's and the bengal cats. My aby's are the sweetest cats in the world! My husband loves loves loves the aby cats. My bengal is quite demanding of my attention and she doesn't like to share.


I had scottish folds years ago and they were sweet precious cats too!!

I honestly can't pick a favorite! IMO every breed is stunning, because all kitties are stunning, period...lol..

I have a soft spot for Maine Coons. I grew up with a Maine Coon mix and fell in love. When he passed, I adopted another Maine Coon fluff ball and we spoil him rotten.

I've never personally "owned" a purebred cat, but when I was pet sitting full time, I cared for a three year old male Abyssinian named Mercury. I loved that cat from day one.
The first time I met him he jumped onto my shoulders and wrapped his front legs around my neck. He was named Mercury for good reason; he had so much energy!

I have a seal bicolor Ragdoll, two nonstandard (longlegged) Munchkins, and a black shorthair Moggie...they are all special and I don't think there is any breed I wouldn't love.

I've never met a purebreed face-to-face. Well, at least I don't think so. One of the family cats in our extended family looked like a purebred Turkish Angora. Wow, he was a total beauty and sweet as cake. But
he was found as a stray in New Jersey. (Uh, I guess being found as a stray proves nothing, never mind)

A friend owned what looked like a Maine Coon but
she was kinda on the small side so maybe she was an almost. ?? So I guess my answer will be Turkish Angora. It's basically a guess.

Why, Siamese of course.
I think they're amazing. My two are traditional (my preference) but one day I'll have a modern. I think they're beautiful, too.
I've become relatively obsessed with Siamese.

Second to Siamese:

Balinese

Bengal (I definitely will have one someday. Awesome cats.)
Ragdoll
Abyssinian
Somali
Scottish Fold
Birman

I guess I'd have to choose either Japanese bobtails ('cause I want another cat just like Aya sans tail) or a traditional Siamese (applehead) becuase I've never been allowed to have one.

This is a hard one. I'm going to have to think about this for a minute
. Alrighty, here goes nothing. In no particular order, here are my top 5 favorite purebred kitties:

Turkish Angora
Ragdoll
Bengal
Ocicat
Egyptian Mau

As you can see, I really like the long-haired cats, but also have a soft spot for the more "wild" looking kitties. While I don't know if I'll ever have a purebred cat, any one of those would be on my list. I also really like Abyssinians, Scottish Folds, and the traditional-type Siamese. I'm sure there are others, but those are the only ones I could truly see myself being owned by.

However, that being said, I think I'll always prefer the unique beauty of moggies
. Even if I someday had my "dream" cat (whatever that may be), I'd still need a house full of moggies to make my furry family complete.

I love the look of Bengals and Egyptian Maus. In fact, the night I adopted Holland I actually went in because the shelter had an E Mau on their website. He was gone by the time I got there, but I consider myself lucky for that...

I love all breed of cats, but I'm most partial to long-haired giants.

Himalayan
Maine Coon
Ragdoll
Norwegian

Unfortunately for me, I will probably never own a purebred as I will only adopt one at the shelter.
