What domestic cat breed is your favorite?

[Florian]

she loved belly scratches, so I can give into the impulse without getting eviscerated.

Lucky you. Among my cats, I also have a fully feral and a semi feral one.

"Nike", the fully feral one, was presumably hit with a shotgun, lost an eye and ear, and no-one has been allowed to touch her in the 4 years she´s with me. Fears and evades humans, loves "Hook" (*) and still comes to my bed every night, snuggling up on my knees, purring like crazy.

"Hook", the semi-feral one. is a cat I picked up on a holiday trip to spain. Some a-hole impaled him on a fishermans hook to bleed out. Found him by accident, paid the doctors bill and took him home with me. Big guy, 20 pounds, some wild cat hybrid with deep and nasty fighting scars. Can only stand the be patted on the head, but loves this and is fiercely loyal to me, acting more like an attack dog.

(*) Never seen that before. She adores him, follows him like a shadow and always tries to snuggle up on him, even knowing that she´ll receive bite and claw for that. That little at lady is craving his affection to the point that we humans would call it "stalking" and "sexual harassment".

The Persian cat, with their facial expressions.

[Coidzor]

To look at? Big and fluffy. So ragdolls, maine coones, norwegian forests.

To be around? Short-haired and friendly and as hypoallergenic as possible because I don't really enjoy breaking out in hives.

[Xuc Xac]

I like Schrodinger's cat. I don't know if it's alive or dead but I don't really care. I'm just glad it's in a box where I don't have to deal with it.

It's a racial slur. A pretty outdated and backwoods one, which is why it confuses most people that it gets censored by the forum filter. I think the only place you'll ever really hear it is if you watch the George Wallace scene in Forest Gump.

[GilbertRobbins]

I like persa.

[Esthershen]

i like british shorthair

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

Grey striped alley cat.
I think they're called "tabbies" in English.

[lt_murgen]

+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.

+4. All the cats I have had in the last 2 decades have been rescues. My favorite is a 26 pound ragdoll. Not overweight, just all muscle.

[Telonius]

I've never actually met one, but have always wanted to see a Turkish Van. A cat that loves to swim sounds awesome. Otherwise, I'm not really partial to particular breeds. Any kitty is an awesome kitty.

[Max_Killjoy]

The Bombay.

My favorite cat ever was a Bombay, wicked smart, very vocal, liked to follow me around the house and sit next to wherever I was doing something, loved people and kinda hated other cats.

[Bohandas]

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

Yeah, I thought this filter was smarter than that. It doesn't incorrectly filter pussycat, assassin, aspic, cockerel, or doo-wop.

[Peelee]

Yeah, I thought this filter was smarter than that. It doesn't incorrectly filter pussycat, assassin, aspic, cockerel, or doo-wop.

It largely ignores the S****horpe problem. And in this instance, it's both such a relatively uncommon occurrence, and obvious enough that everybody knows what is being talked about, that I don't think it's a big deal. Especially with how charged the actual slur is, even as archaic as it is.

Also, heh. I'm amused that it caught that.

Scunthrope really should change their name to S****horpe, on the basis that that is how most people will google them.

While I've had my fair share of Siamese cats, I have to say that Maine C00ns are my overall favorite. (And it is going to take more than one mean cat of that breed to change my mind).

Edit: Did I say a mean car? I meant to say mean cat.

[Honest Tiefling]

That's just what you need, a kitty who'll decide that your bath is now their bath.

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention...Siamese/Burmese/Tokinese breeds tend to produce males that are able to be around kittens, so that's a nice feature.

[Charlie696]

Maincoons because they're so darn fluffy man!

[Fadal]

The siamese has always been my favorite. We had two when I was growing up - a brother and a sister. The male was a terror in his youth. All the other cats in the street were terrified of him, and he constantly came home with minor cuts from getting in fights. I even saw him kill a coral snake one time in our backyard.

[Velaryon]

The one my cat is.

Obviously.

This, basically.

Google informs me that calico refers to a color pattern and is not a breed, so I guess that can't be my answer.

[Thurbane]

Tuxedo cat! I never was a cat before before I got Fritz...

I inherited him from a friend when he was about 2 months old. They had to re-home him for various reasons, I was looking for a pet (I lived alone at the time), and I also had a mouse problem (which he took care of). I've had him for over 5 years now.

I have no favourites, I like them all — black, white, tabbies, whatever. They can all be very good looking and are generally great as pets and companions.

[Zollqir]

My cat is a Norwegian Forest cat. He's big and fluffy, and only has one eye. He's the best.

[Peelee]

Speaking of, Erebus, Primordial Deity of Darkness is up to 17 lbs now. He's a great big ball o fluff.

Gorgeous cat!

[Goaty14]

My dog. He acts as lazy as a cat, and flops around like one, so what's the difference?

[Scarlet Knight]

American Short hair.

I swear I heard Saddam Hussein's voice ( from South Park) when he convinced me to adopt him: "Hey guy! How ya doin'? We're gonna be buddays! Got some tuna? Just kiddin'! Don't have a cow, pal! I'm a working cat! I earn my keep!"

+5. Of course if you rescue a Maine kitty kitten... bonus! (Although she has never gotten very large. A rarity but not unheard of.)

I will never rescue a kitten again though. None of that nonsense.

A lot of my rescue friends are saying they won't adopt "fancy" kittens out to unknown adopters anymore.
