I want this cat - I would like to own one of these types of pet cats

I am apprehensive when it comes to MC's, they are just so big. Ex girl had one that was huge, 8kg+. Very nice fella but there's definitely a difference when a MC plomps down on your chest and wants cuddles compared to your standard domestic cat.
I adopted two 10 year old Tabbies last year. The previous owner was elderly and couldn't take care of them anymore. They've been together since they were kittens, so they get along well. Couldn't ask for nicer cats.

And, my favorite chair is now theirs.

I heart tabbies.
 
Here's one of mine. We believe he is a Russian Sphinx, or mostly Russian Sphinx. He's friendly as hell and behaves more like a dog. He's a crackhead who enjoys rough housing.

My kitter Shinobi, his Momma was a stray I took in and helped her along in her pregnancy, Shin is one of the 5 kittens that I helped her deliver. I managed to get them all homes but I kept Shin..I fell in love. He is the calmest boy ever. The Mama was your typical Domestic Shorthair Black Cat.. but I wish I knew who the dad was because Shin has these chubby cheeks and is the biggest cat I ever had in my life. He is also very muscular and has a in-between length coat.. Anyone here have an idea what my little guy is mixed with?

That's a beautiful cat, his head looks massive. No idea what he's mixed with but he definitely does not look standard.
 
I mentioned my late Norwegian Forest Cat, Fuzzy.

Her mom Sasha was a small statured black and white shorthair stray that I adopted. And, she came with a bonus. Like their mom, the four kittens were all black and white. Two big longhair Norwegians, and two petite short hair tuxedo cats. All four kittens were kept and adopted by family members and friends.

They all made it to just over 20 years old. I kept Fuzzy and her mom Sasha. They were practically joined at the hip, one was never far from the other. Great cats.

One of our other cats. She's a Hemingway, so she's polydactyl and has something like 24 toes. She literally has toes on toes. She's also a fat lard, so I call her Chunky Buns. One of her other nicknames is Miss Murder Mittens. She's the most independent out of our three cats, but she's sweet and loves to have her big fat belly rubbed. She will flop over in a dead drop when she wants belly scritches. She also likes being pet by feet.

Thank you! When I tell you he is a lovebug... I think he might be part Bombay? Either way the puffy cheeks are from testosterone (he has since been neutered but the cheeks are not deflating which makes me wonder what breed he really is..
I got my dog Winston weeks before rescuing the pregnant stray.. Winston and Shinobi became fast friends who are bonded. They are 8 weeks apart in age :)

I love it when you dox your pets. They're all adorable.
 
Why would you need to adopt a cat? They just show up anyways.
I'm convinced I have a sign on my forehead that only cats can see.
It says "softie cat lady", because they always come to me.
My orange girl showed up on my front porch, I've had others come up to me and want skritches, I've rescued a few from assholes, and so on.
