Breeds! Wishlist?


I know i am only now learning about cats, but there are so many different varieties i'd not heard of, and so many different shapes of bodies, ears, eyes, fur types and colours, absolutely stunning!

Where can i see photos of more breeds, like a breed listing?

So if you could have any cats in the world, what would they be? Whats your top 3/5/10/billion?

There are a lot of different breeds i would like. Of course I am very drawn to Siamese and Orientals but I do very much like British Shorthairs too.

I think one of the best ways to see cats and get an idea of their personalities is to visit some cat shows where you can view all the different breeds and talk to lots of different people to get an idea of each breed's individual characteristics and traits

No idea where to go for a breed listing lol, but as for wishlist, well, where would I start lol.

I know my OH really wants a ragdoll one day. He fell in love with them after seeing Charlies cat at a show last year. I would love a persian and a 'proper' exotic ROTFLMAO!! I mean one that is proper size, not a dinky toy like Teddie is!! (though we all know I wouldn't swap her for the world). I also love BSH, and would like a red! I have a secret hankering for a sphynx!! I just think there is something so cute about them.

In hysterics from the cuteness right now, you're responsible for my hyperventilation.

How about....an Oriental shorthair? There are also Oriental long hairs too if you prefer the longer coat type..

Very very interactive, can be vocal. Are more like dogs than catws, can be trained to retrieve. They are extremely nosy and have a wicked sense of humour!!

This is Mildred, my brown (black) Oriental spotted tabby girly......
