What is your favorite type/color of cat?

Cozy thread OP!

I've never been into buying pedigree animals, be it cat or dog, give me a genetically all over the shop moggy or a messy mutt any day. It just needs to be a fat headed Tom with delusions of grandeur; I want him strutting about the house like he owns it, zero fear of the kids (instead the kids get nervous about messing with him), getting in the way of whatever you're doing for attention, with a headbutt that can knock down walls and a purr that travels through them.

There was a wandering tabby on our road for a year or two who fit the bill. Handsome devil half moved in with us for a while before pissing off half way across town like the wandering hobo he was. Probably found another old bird with better food, little shit, but I still feel blessed for having him.

That said I like an animal that can have an attitude with you, I don't do simpering, begging or Stockholm friendly behavior in anything, it skeeves me out.

There probably are some cat breeds that would fit that description down to the ground, but why spend ten times the cash on a designer cat from a greedy arsehole breeder when the moggy a road over is pregnant again and the neighbour's are looking for anyone to palm off kittens onto.

My favorite types of cats are in other people's houses, so they have to clean up the all the mess and put up with their bullshit. Like when they decide to fuck up your house at 3 AM or sharpen their claws on your wooden doors or furniture. I can go to their house and pet them and leave them there. Those are best cats.

I grew up amongst a a whole galaxy of multi-colored tabbies, torties, blacks, whites, black and white Holsteins and a near un-broken line of Siameses from before I could talk until I was in my mid 30's.

Much like T.G. Shepard, I loved them everyone.

I don't think I can pic a favorite.


Having said that a former friend of mine had a Himalayan.
I really was impressed with that little fluff ball.
She was like having a longhaired Siamese yet she didn't go crazy and draw blood.
Partially because she was declawed, I guess.
She was just a super chill, affectionate cat.

I know declawing is bad and I would never do it.
However, if through genetic engineering or breeding they could make cats that didn't have claws, I would be down with that.

They can breed cattle with no horns so it should be possible.

I like those ugly little hairless cats. If I had one, I'd call him 'Scrote'.

Those things are not cats.
I refuse to believe that under their fur cats look like raw chicken.
Nope, those hairless demons are something else entirely.
