Oh Staci you are a woman after my own heart! I feel that I simply MUST have a pug some day!

I'd love to have a great big Maine Coon (now thats a cat) .
And I've always loved the Abbysinian. Siamese are wonderful. In fact I just love cats!!!! Any kind, any shape, any color and any size Even the great big ones, lions, tigers, but I think they're better off in the wild, my Panda's already tearing up my mattress I have pictures, figurines, stuffed animals, plates, place mats, towels, you name it of cats, cats and more cats. My house is appropriately named "The Bracken Cat House"

Butter is definitely NOT my dream cat, but maybe one day he will be! I do think he is beautiful though, and I like his short hair and blue eyes.

Mimi, on the other hand, is a dream girl. So well behaved, never has been any problem (other than the fact that she hates any other cat, including Butter). I never had owned a long haired cat, and worried when the little six week old ball of fur came to live with us, but she has always done a terrific job of grooming herself and neither she nor Butter really have a bad shedding problem. Most of the shedding is done by their two canine siblings!!

I imagine it will be a long, long time before I ever have another cat, but when I do, it will be the type so many of you mentioned, the "free" kind, one that needs a home, and probably an adult. If I ever do get to "pick" one, which I have never been able to do before, I want one that will let me hold it like a baby and scratch its belly. Certainly can't do that with either one I have now, nor could I do that with my Shrimp Boat, when she was with me.

Well, that's a difficult question! I really love mutts (well, we all do ) but, why not? Let's dream...
I'd really love to have a Siamese by my side, and a very talkative one!! I love that! Siamese are supposed to be amusing and smart and demanding... yes, not a dull moment with one (or various ) of those furkids in the household..
Another breed I've been told about and that arises my curiosity is the Burmese... can anyone tell me about them?
And I love the looks of the Blue cats family (British shorthair, Russian and Korat - I know they're different breeds with different origins, but they're ... blue!).
Ahh, and the green-eyed ones!

I always did want a white persion but now that I have had a slightly long haired white cat, I know I don't really want a persion! But for now she is my Dream Cat!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

LOL, Zippy Cat. Yes, one that cleans its own litter box would be the best dream cat ever!

Pam, I don't know what to say about your daughter's cat and your grandson. I guess the only thing I can say is to take it slow. Hard to do with a baby, especially a toddler, but if they only have supervised visits until the Grandson is old enough to know how to treat/handle the cat, the cat might - stress *might* - get used to the grandson too. Hopefully it will work out!

I'm nuts about Maine coon and Norwegian Forest Cats.

Of course I enjoy any cat that cuddles in my lap. But I think that if I had to do it over again I would choose, (1) a male Abyssinian, (2) an Ocicat, (3) and a Bengal.

Right now I'm trying to domesticate a feral tabby whom I have named "Zebra Girl". She is a very beautiful cat, on gray with black stripes which closely resemble a zebra.'s stripe patterns. Although now she comes inside for the night, she doesn't get along with the other furkids, but emits this low level growl when ever any others gets too close to her. Here lately however, she allowes me to pet her which is some progress over a month ago.

Sirocco, I have a green-eyed blue (part) Abyssinian, she is a beautiful cat. but a little short on the affections, unless, it is done on her terms. Typical female Aby, she is not a lap cat.

Spencer, that picture and cat are breath taking! Makes me want one I actually want a cat exactly like Noah!!! Later maybe, when we get to move to our own house and have more room, we will definitely take more cats (2 more I think). Don't tell my husband... LOL

[shais_mom]

Do you think today's cat has some Maine Coon in her?
I forgot to mention that when it comes to Mutt Mix kitties I would love to have a calico or a black kitty.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I would say that yes, she has some Maine Coon in her. She looks relatively large, so I would say she maybe has a lot of Maine Coon in her. I believe Peanut has Maine Coone in her and Bonnie looks a lot like Peanut - but bigger.

[gwen021399]

my dream cats are:

1) an orange and white tabby...I think they are the cutest!
2) a maine coone...I had one when I was a little girl that got really sick and died. I would love to have another one. They are so big and fluffy and great to cuddle with.
3) a Saimese cat. I have a male cat that is part Saimese, but would love to have one that is pure bred.

[wolflady]

This is a good question! Of course I love all cats and those "heinz 57" or "mutt" cats will always be my favorite...because they're all so unique. I love lap cats. But, if I were to choose a specific pure breed cat, I would say siamese too. With those piercing blue eyes and that ticked fur...they're so striking. I think the ragdolls and maincoons are beautiful too. Hard decision! LOL LOL
Like AmberLee said to me that day we saw all the rescue cats looking for a home at the cat show we attended, it's a good thing I don't drive a van, because I probably would have brought them ALL home if I had the means! LOL LOL
