I love black cats and I heard Bombay cat's are good if you have allergies but I refuse to shop for a cat. So when I'm ready I will visit shelters in my area and ask about Bombay's maybe I'll get lucky if not I'll just sit down in a room full of cats and see which one picks me to be their human 😊 ...

I don't get the major desire to get a "breed" cat or dogs for that matter. The amount of cats that are in desperate need to be adopted and breeds are basically all born from incest with those risks. My domestic shorthair is my favorite "breed" because I'm giving a cat a forever home and not put down.

Yes they are cute. But it's a shame they are on this list as a sick breed of cats. All Cats with folded ears have a genetic desease that attacks their joints. That gene mutation not only deforms the cartilage in their ears but also in their whole body. That will cause pain and discomfort.

Jeff Strauch no you're wrong CFA's is for pure breed cats not mixed breeds cats. What's why they call the Cat Fancy Association.

@ThePurringJournal 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! 🐈 As you noted, we focused on purebreds for this particular video. However, the CFA also accepts registrations for companion cats (non-pedigree domestic shorthair and longhair cats). If this category was added to the list, companion cats would have tied for Scottish Fold for 9th place. 🏆 As for non-registered cats, yes there are lists (but not from CFA) that include both. If this video does well we could use one for a future video. 😻

Characteristics of a breed are no guarantee that the one choose will be like that both positive and negative as well how they are raised and the families they go into will bring out some characteristics and repress others. There are ways to encourage vocalization or discourage it depending on the cat.

Good question! The Domestic Shorthair is technically not a breed. It's just a term used to describe a short-haired cat with mixed-ancestry. On the other hand, the American Shorthair is a specific breed with defined characteristics. American Shorthairs started off as Domestic Shorthairs, but they were bred into what we know today. 😺

I guess the horror that breeders have produced with the ugly and awkward-looking “new Siamese” explains why the traditional, beautiful Siamese (now called “Thai cat” by the silly, foolish CFA) fell off the list. And I guess the rarity and expense of the Angora explains why it’s not one of the top ten breeds.
