My husband and I are searching for a cat. Now, seeing as how we won't actually be making the motions to physically *get* the kitty for a year or more, I really wanting to do some good research. I was hoping that I could post a few summarized things on here and someone(s) could help me out by giving me the names of some breeds that might fit my particular things... Okay, here goes...
We already have two very playful cat-loving cats (Who happen to love people, too! So freakin' loving it makes mama want to puke sometimes! Heh, just kidding, of course! ). We are getting a purebred Chihuahua from my aunt who happens to be a breeder. The pooch will be very well socialized around dogs and cats. So, naturally, we want a cat who is more apt to get along with the critters that we currently, and will soon, share the domain with. I already know that a lot of it comes from owner/breeder/trainer/foster and good socialization. Really, we are not opposed to anything as far as where the cat comes from, if it has multiple breeds or not, colours, anything, etc. but I would love to be able to find a cat of a particular breed who are known to be exceptionally loving and affectionate. I know that cats are generally independent natured and it will be pretty unlikely to find one who is as loving as Soni (or at least that's what I am telling myself so I don't set myself up for disappointment). Health is very important but I am in no way objecting to adopting a special needs cat or kitten. The last and least of my concerns are the way the cat looks. However, as I'm getting older (geez, I can't say that without making myself feel like I sound about 90) I am finding that I have a special affinity for fluffy cats but Soni is medium haired and I would prefer not to have a long haired cat any time in the near future. I really love the Egyptian Mau and Safari cats coats. Heh, I have a kitty colour theme going on and am hoping to find a cat that is orange(-ish, maybe?). That is in no way necessary, though. I am just tickled about the fact that I have a white-ish cat and a mostly black cat. An orange cat and the palette will be, mostly, complete! heh. kidding.
Summary: I would really like the name of a breed(s) that may even loosely match what I am speaking of. Size, colour, and the like, do not matter. I would really appreciate any and all help. =)
