I think the cat you choose should reflect what YOU want in a cat. I have had Maine Coons (which are also amazing cats) and I have had Mutts, also amazing cats, Manx Cats....... and what I finally settled on were the Himilayans and Persians, THEY are what I wanted in a cat.
When you DO finally settle on a breed and look for a breeder, make DAMN sure you find out their living arrangements prior to getting them, don't just choose one because you found one available..... this is of MAJOR importance. I have 4 Persians I got extremely cheap (two as a gift and two as damn near just delivery costs) and got them home and spent MONTHS literally just taming them, they were born and raised in a "kennel" with no human contact other than vet checks and feeding, they had ZERO knowledge in how to love or be loved. Now they are my most favorites, but this is a crucial thing.
The rest of them were all born and raised "under foot", or in the home and with the family. these make FAR better pets, regardless of the breed. I know you might know this, but I didn't going into this Cattery thing, and now I do. My Himi Breeder turns out some of the MOST amazing and lovable cats I have ever seen...... so while breed choice is crucial, the way in which they are bred and raised is more so important. :winkwink: |
