I lerrrrrve Tonkinese! I would love to have one one day.
I also love the Australian Burmese (is that european Burmese?). I had a gorgeous lilac point Burmese as a kid and she was the most friendly, affectionate, beautiful kitty.
Bengals or E Maus. I have 2 bengals and a bengal mix. 1 is an F1 ALC hybrid. The other is a rescue. Neither are overly "domestic" and neither likes to be held or cuddled or petted too much. I have more bonding to do with the ALC but i have herd that is common behavior for an ALC or early generation hybird to be standoffish.
I am fascinated with E Mau's and thier history. I would LOVE to have one some day.
I am also a huge fan of American Bobtails, desert lynx, chausies, serengeti's, pixie-bobs, savannah's exc.
my favorite would be the Nebelung, kind of like a long-haired Russian Blue. it was featured in the sept. '03 catfancy
and then Norwegian Forest Cat and Maine Coon
Norwegian forest cat, maine coon, or a long haired scottish fold... i also love birmans and ragdolls... and i have a soft spot for persians... really, i love anything longhaired.
but, i will make an exception for the manx. they are GORGEOUS
My favorite breeds are Persians/Himalayans. I groom two Himalayans who are AWESOME and the sweetest cats ever. I've met a few evil persians, but most are really sweet also.
Thirty years ago I had a black smoke Oriental Shorthair named Yasa (after a character in an Andrea Norton book). I would love to have another.
Also Abysinnians, Cornish Rex and Siamese (modern show type). I love long slinky oriental type cats. My favorite dogs are all sighthound breeds like greyhounds and salukis so these two (cats & dogs) would kinda go together.
Maine Coon (I like the less-common colors, not the typical tabbies)
Siberian
Turkish Van
Egyptian Mau
Ocicat
Japanese Bobtail (I really want one!)
Siamese (traditional)
but I also love Abys, Somalis and Norwegian Forest Cats. If I were to get another cat that's not a Bengal I'd get a Black Silver Somali, I think they're *gorgeous*
