Favorite Type of Cat

1. If Abbott was a cat he'd be a Boston Terrior

He looks like one and probably weighs about the same.

2. My cat is apparently a Turkish Van

as he has the characteristic personality traits and Van markings, but he has toe tufts like a Maine Coon Cat. He was a rescue kitty who was dropped off at a local cat shelter, so they didn't know his background. He's huge (18-20 lbs) very talkative and follows me around.

This cat could be my Butch's double except Butch's markings are a little darker:

4. what a beautiful cat!

I love his mane, I assume your cat has the same thing then?

[hifiguy]

5. He gets a sort of ruff around his (bull-thick) neck

in the wintertime. Not huge but noticeable. He has some auburn patches on the back of his rear legs between knee and ankle, which apparently is a disqualifier for a show cat, but the more I learn the more I am convinced he's a purebred Van. He is one big, barrel-chested handsome boy. So husky that I named him Butch because he seemed like the cat version of an old-time cartoon bulldog. I do loves my kitty!!

3. Yes.

8. Yep. I'm not picky.

6. My cats, of course! Half coon (didn't get the long fur. I would have liked that.) very talkative and

chirpy. I enjoy having conversations with Pickles. She has a lot to say!

7. I love cats that chirp

two of mine did that. With one it was almost like a cooing sound. :) One still does it but not very often.

9. Other

I like cats ok but wouldn't want to own one. I'm fond of most animals, but most I wouldn't want for a pet. I'm just not much of a cat person. I'm also allergic to them, so though I can be around one I shouldn't be sitting on furniture they've been on or pet them. Actually, I don't have much of a problem with petting a cat a little bit so long as it doesn't rub against me and I wash my hands well right afterward. I wasn't allergic when I was a kid, but then again I wasn't allergic to anything then. When I got to about my mid-twenties I suddenly acquired all kinds of various allergies. Allergies suck.

10. I have to say that a ginger tabby stole my heart

He is the softest cat I ever had, and incredibly companionable. He passed in March. I'd look for another ginger tabby if I didn't still have two other cats.

And one of those is 28 pounds -- huge brown tabby.

I love cats. They're quirky.

12. aw, lap cat cuddlebugs

I have 2 of these right now, one's a newb, one an elder-cat :loveya: :loveya: Luckily they get along, they can share me.

13. I love Siamese crosses - tabby points, red points and such

I've had several tabby point cats and they tend to be great company with amazing personalities. Sometimes they can be very annoying, like my current insane cat, but they are always funny.

14. All of 'em!

Love Love LOVE every last kitty! :loveya:

[stuntcat]

15. +1 ALL of 'em

:loveya: I picked the lovebugs because well they're lovebugs! I love my independents toooo :loveya:

[Flaxbee]

19. Mine! And then, all of them after that....

Big cats, domestic cats, long hair, short hair, tail, no tail... doesn't matter. Love 'em all.

And, well, that goes for dogs, birds, horses, elephants, groundhogs.... but I share my home with cats.

[femmocrat]

16. Other: I don't hate cats, but prefer dogs.

We always had cats when I was growing up, and we had a rescue cat for 20 years. He was a good cat, but I just don't want any more cats.

17. Catnap. nt

18. All cats are my favorite.

Any feline so disposed to choose my house as their home is welcome to stay.

I have never met a kitty that I didn't like, or one that didn't like me.

[meow2u3]

20. I also like rotten cats

Spoiled rotten cats, that is! Especially when they're no more than giant kittens.

21. MAINE COON!!! I have one!

I love her to death, but combing her is a PINA.

I named her Princess because she struts around like royalty, LOL!

[nolabear]

22. Mine is supposedly Manx/Pixie Bob

What she really is is a big tailless grey fluffy girl with a doglike personality and a penchant for fruit of nearly all types, and Special K with milk but not soy milk. I had to switch in self defense. Bunny's just the best.

23. Siamese

Mine is a Siamese mix and she's super-talkative--it's just one of the things I love about her. :)

24. Large purr-balls that roll over for belly rubs.
