I am trying to decide what kind of Cat I want. Weplan on getting another Cat this Summer. The new Cat will be indoor only. What Breeds do you think I should look for. I ahve 4 Cats. Coco will be 16 this month or next. She is half Siamese but is Black and White. Meeko who will be 8 in June is part Russian Blue but you can not really tell. Sasha who is mostly Russian Blue and she gets called ugly because her Mauve paws and Blue Color. She will be 2 in Aug. Oreo is part Russian Blue but you can not tell at all. She will be 1 in Aug. All my cats get along. What Breed do you think will be ok with my Cats?

What qualities are you looking for in a cat? Affectionate? Playful? Even-tempered? Laidback? Short hair or long hair? etc. Because you have so many part-russian blues already, maybe you should get a purebred one

Well, with all that Russian Blue in your cat's genes, you might want to consider looking for another Russian! Cats like to be around cat that look like themselves, and they especially like to be around cats of a similar activity level.
If you are attracted to Russian Blues, you might want to check out the blue Aby or the Korat as well.

First RB's are supposed to have mauve color paw pads


Second, I'm assuming you dont' want RB or Siamese but something similiar that would get along with both breeds.

I would recommend a Burmese or Tonkinese. Both are similar backgrounds (siamese) and probably would adjust well to your crew. They are not too active, but more then a moderate active. Oriental would work, but if you are looking for a little less active, go with the Burm or Tonk.

I was thinking of a Siamese or a Russian Blue again. I love how Sasha Shimmers and the Mauve Paw Pads. All the Breeds you both mentioned sound nice too. I have though of a Bengal or a Egyption Mau too. I had a Burmese years ago that was Mixed. She was a very nice Cat. Yoshi was Part Abby cant spell it and Russian Blue. He had the Mauve Pads but looked way more Abby. I have time to decide. It will be very hard to pick.

A RB or Siamese would be nice choices to go with what you have. Any breed pruebred or moggie would probley get along with one another given enough time and proper introductions.
But since you are asking for oppinions on pure breds I have to say Ragdoll! I am not sure what you are looking for as far as charactoristics, but Ragdolls tend to adjust and adapt to most situations,ect. and generally get along with other pets/kids,ect.
