What domestic cat breed is your favorite?

[D&DecentPeople]

Hello everyone I just wanted to know people's favorite cat breed. Also my favorite cat breed is the Turkish Angora.

[Starwulf]

I don't have one of these, but my favorite breed would have to be the Maine ****. Such a big, beautiful kitty, if I had one I would shower it with tons of snuggles and love :)

Really, that's filtered? I would bet that word is used for the cat or trashpandas more often than as a slur.

My favorite is probably a strange breed of pygmy cat I once owned. Not, like, short stubby legs, but a normal cat, scaled down to half size. All of the ones I encountered were black and white, oddly, usually a "tuxedo" pattern.

[scalyfreak]

Jellicle Cats.

[BWR]

Nothing with a smushed face, has to have a tail and fur and proper ears (none of that fold nonsense), and should be identifiable only as 'a cat'.
Breeds are at best irrelevant, at worst make them look terrible.

Norwegian Forest. The most glorious of all housecats. Pulled the chariot of a god, they did!

Oh wow, I honestly didn't even know that was filtered until you pointed out. Yeah that's pretty weird word to be filtered out nowadays, hell my parents are in their 70's and racist as hell and I've never heard them refer to a black person as that word before, it's entirely out of popular usage for that meaning.

The Norwegian Forest cat looks a lot like a Maine Coone(minus the e dangit!), similar size and look and even bearing.

Not sure I have a favourite cat breed. I like big fluffy ones, like maine *****.

I used to have a part persian part...tabby? (not sure actually what that half was) and she was just beautiful. Got her for my 3rd or 4th birthday and had her for 22 years and she was still gorgeous even in old age and never looked like an old cat.

While I don't actually have a picture of my old roommate, he looked a lot like this:

I now have reason to doubt that you had a cat. Joking, of course, but still. How does that happen?

[fire_insideout]

Domestic short haired. None of that breed nonsense, I want a cat who can hunt, who can manage a few days (or weeks) on its own and who doesn't need its fur combed and cared for.

It should be mentioned that I grew up on a farm and the cats were outdoors for 90+% of the time, keeping the grounds clear of rodents.

Easy. It was a long time ago, before cell phones had apps that made it easy to share the pictures they took. If they even took pictures...

It's filtered for the same reason we can't recommend people watch the **** Van Dyke show, I guess.

Edit: Huh. Dyke isn't censored here. Usually forums with such stringent filters catch both.

Obviously.

The only correct answer. I've never really kept up with distinct breeds for cats, my two being known only as "American short hair" (Rosie, a huge Calico I'm pretty sure has some Coone in her breeding as well. She's 16 lbs at her healthy weight, and is the same size though not weight as our roommate's pug/beagle mix) and "American long hair" (Misty, a pure deep gray ball of fluff).

Another one of Rosie's face:

Misty won't stay still long enough to photograph, usually. She's an indoor/outdoor.

I do wish I had an orange tabby like I used to have, but two cats is plenty.

At least it's not a clbuttic filter.

I've wanted a Savannah since I first learned about them a few years back. They have the texture of a Shorthair but with far more surface area to pet. :p

My favorite breed is “rescue cat.”

For over thirty years almost all of our cats have been strays or rescues. We adopted one cat right off the street (an elderly cat who had been dumped in our neighborhood); in another case a young cat walked into the doctor’s office where my mother worked and went right up to her.

The tubbo creature filling my papasan right now was born in a junkyard to a feral mother. Originally named Hubcap, she had a feral cat’s genes and passion for hunting, combined with socialization from an early age. These days, alas, her passion is for the food bowl and the papasan.

Gorgeous. That’s basically Aslan in housecat form.

[GAAD]

Almost every breed, really. As long as it likes cuddles. On that note, I. Despise. Ragdolls. There is one particular ragdoll cat who is the spawn of Hastur and can go die in a fire. Sorry Niwrad, your cat is evil. :P

[WarKitty]

I have to admit I'm fond of longhairs myself. Of course, it helps that my longhair girl practically throws herself at you purring the minute you hold up a brush.

Because cats have a sixth sense of when a camera is pointed at them they'll immediately jump, thus ruining your picture. My cat is probably 15 years old and nothing gets him to move quite like a camera.

My current cat appears to be a Siberian/Siberian mix, but I have been fond of the the Burmese/Siamese/Tonkinese breeds. Mostly quite friendly, if quite opinionated and determined to get into EVERYTHING.

Reminds me of that quote that the only thing that can cause more problems than a dumb cat, is a very intelligent cat....

[Rain Dragon]

My favourite are short or shortish haired cats that are cute (because the long haired ones shed too much fur for me. They're pretty and all...). Honestly until recently, I didn't really realise there were breeds of cats, heh.

Also, a brand of cheese.

Yeah, my mom bred Burmese cats for a while. She got a lot of complaints that they figured out how to operate door knobs, and would open doors ESPECIALLY when people were on the toilet.

My favorite cats are the fluffy, squishy kinds. :3

+3. I have no idea what breed my calico is, but she is the sweetest cat I have ever met, and even better, she loved belly scratches, so I can give into the impulse without getting eviscerated.
