    I think I would love any cat. I would like to have a Maine Coon.

    I honestly love all cats, but I would have to say some of my favorite are Charteux, Korat, Manx and I love long hair cats of any breed.

    I'm about 95% certain that Kiliamo's part Norwegian Forest Cat, so I have to admit to a fondness for that breed. He has a lot of the breed traits -- ear tufts, long fur between the pads of his feet, and, in the winter, a mane. His fur doesn't get tangled at all, and he has an absolutely amazing undercoat (I've been tempted to save the brushings and knit with them!).

    I love the picture of the Bengal cat Belligerent, they have amazing coats.

    I think my favourite cats are British Longhairs (below), but I also like the look of Siamese cats (and they are nice to draw)

    I love Siamese cats as well. I had one named Rose when I was a child and she was the sweetest thing ever.. I also loved the natural crook in her tail. Bengals are absolutely gorgeous cats.

    My favorite breed, the Siamese:

    [​IMG]

    In Thailand, Siamese cats with nine spots of black are considered to be vary valuable. Eight spots on the ears, paws, tail and nose. The ninth spot is on the roof of the mouth.

    If I have to choose my top favorite breed of cat then "Ragdoll" would be top in my list.

    I love all cats but I became particularly fond of Abyssians when my roomie and I lived together and she had a really sweet Abyssian. If I get another cat at some point, that breed will be high on my list. My current two are mixes, which I think are also great.

    Just looked up on Ragdolls. They do look somewhat like Siamese. Very much softer, of course. Must be extremely cuddly, I would say. Here are some Ragdoll kittens saying hi:

    I have to admit I don't know all the breeds very well. I know that Booger and Tigger are short haired tabbies and I know that Bella is part Manx. I know a Persian and a Siamese when I see them and that's all the ones I know right away.

    Bengal cats are so gorgeous. They look like miniature versions of a leopard.

    Well, Asian Leopard Cats are part of the lineage of the Bengal Cats. Like this one:

    My favourite are definitely bengals, both looks and personality, although mine is very very demanding, she is definitely worth it. I would love a snow bengal one day.

    Oh yes, they certainly are. Here's a Black Bengal:

    How does it compare to a White Bengal?

    It's head looks rounder, and it looks stockier than the white Bengal. They are both very pretty though.
