Breed you would like


If you could have any breed of cat/s, what would it be. Mine would be a Bengal and a Russian Blue.

Re: Breed you would like


I find this really hard, we've had that type of discussion here before and I found myself with a dilemma - do I go for this or that.

I've had 10 cats (all moggies)over the years, only one has been 'planned'. The rest have come just as they are and I've loved them all.

I like red siamese
the maine coons that members here have look very appealling
Abyssinians and somalis have always appealed

Would I look out a breeder and buy one - I really don't know.

I've had both moggys and pedigrees. Love old apple-head Siamese, Abys and Singapuras, all were wonderful cats. If I were to get another pedigree it would probably be a Bengal.

Re: Breed you would like


I love all cats regardless of breed but dont think I'd ever buy a specific breed. I love my moggies too much

Re: Breed you would like


I love old style Siamese always have. However I agree with Kim and say "Blame Dawn" because I now have a very big soft spot for British Shorthairs. But I think I am a moggie person, although would not rule out a BSH but as I like my cats wo be inside outside I can't see me risking a BSH.

Re: Breed you would like


I would certainly have another Maine Coon their temperaments and personalities are just sooooo endearing and I just love how they look

Re: Breed you would like


OH totally took me aback the other day by saying he'd really quite like a Sphynx!! It did make us laugh because with 3 extremely hairy cats a bald one would be a rather interesting contrast!

If I were to go for a breed other than Persian (which I love), it would have to be one that's content to be almost exclusively indoor. We live on a busy road and I can't risk a cat with wanderlust!

Re: Breed you would like


If I had to choose a single breed, I would probably have to go for a Maine Coon. I would always want to have an exotic shorthair now, but would love to add to to them with a MC.
