Hello everyone.
I need a little advice, if anyone can spare it.
I grew up with cats, but don't have one of my own currently. (The past two apartment complexes I've lived in haven't allowed pets.) I am moving in May to a place that does allow pets, and I very much want to get a cat. I've done a lot of research on cat breeds online, and am having some trouble figuring out what kind of cat to get! I'm looking for a short-haired cat that will want lots of attention.
A few different breeds immediately seemed appealing to me: Bombay, Burmese, Egyptian Mau, Snowshoe, and Tonkinese. I also was interested in Australian Mist cats, but haven't found any breeders located anywhere in the U.S.
I know this is mostly a matter of personal opinion. I'm just trying to narrow it down before I actually go meet with any breeders. I tend to fall in love with most animals I meet, so I need a really good idea of what I'm looking for first! Can anyone who owns any of these types of cats give me any info? Is any breed prone to a certain illness? I haven't found anything, but it's always best to ask people who have been there!
Thanks a bunch.
