Good morning, today's question is in relation to our furry friends ( or non furry for our Sphinx lovers)

What is your favorite breed of cat? Colour? Do you own your fav breed or anticipate being owned by one?

Have a purrrrrrrrfect day

White Turkish Angoras are my favorite, more specifically odd-eyed ones. I have the pleasure of owning Isabella, my beautiful rescued TA.


I also adore Maine Coons like my former rainbow bridge kitty, Tommy.
They are soooo affectionate and lovable; I also miss how vocal they are.

I too think all cats are so beautiful, but if I were to pick, my favorite would be the Snowshoe. I think their markings are stunning with those blue eyes. And I heard they have great, fun-loving, out-going personalities. Siamese are also one of my favs

While I love all kitties, I seem to be drawn to grey tabbies and torbies. I've had a couple of 'soul-mate' kitties and they were both grey tabbies.

My favorite type of cat is what ever cat I have at the time. I absolutely love any and all kinds of cats

All of my cats have been plain old domestic shorthairs, and I wouldn't have it any other way. They have my heart.

No favorite breed here either...I've always liked the breeds that look most like the typical domestic cat- like Maine Coons, Turkish angoras, and I'm not a huge fan of exotic breeds except for Bengals and Savannahs, they are the most adorable wild babies ever...

I don't have any use for purebred cats (of course I love all cats and wouldn't turn down a purebred that needed to be rescued, but I would never buy one), so I don't have a favorite breed.

My favorite patterns are calicos with large, clearly defined color spots, and big medium/long-haired brown tabbies (the types that Maine Coons were bred from).

I would love to have a Maine Coin, but cannot justify those prices when so many shelter cats need homes. I don't know that I'll ever be able to have one.

My heart kitty was a grey tabby with white paws and those kitties always catch my eye now, more so than other markings or colors. Chubby little brown tabbies are pretty neat, too.

I'm with everyone else here....I love all kitties. I do have a fondness for Maine Coons. Two kitties I've had - Bridge Kitty Torfinn (many years ago) and now Larry - have had some Maine Coon mixed in there.

Don't have favorite breed or color, but according to my husband I go for the bedragged, one-eyed, crumpled-ear animals...

I told him once that if we ever got a dog, I really love Siberian Shepherds, they are so gorgeousl. He said that for a moment, he had mental image of standing beside a beautiful purebred dog... But then he said he came to his senses, and he knew instead in all reality, we would end up with the elderly 3-legged mutt from the shelter. So true.

I love tabbies and bengals..so yes I own my favorite breed..even though they are mixed and that's the way I like them. Miagi is a tabby and Tiger is a bengal/tabby mix. Angel is a russian blue mix but that's not my favorite breed, not really into blue animals but I love her!

I don't really have a favorite breed. I'm not very fond of the full breed cats. I prefer my DSH cats that I already have.
