Deffo a moggie lover like others here but for pedigrees I love ragdolls (especially Amy) and would love to have one eventually but probably a rescue one. Also love bengals too cos I love their markings (love tabbies so it's a natural follow on) and I also have a soft spot for British shorthairs which are big teddy bears really. My first ever cat, Cleo, had some British shorthair in her as although she was a moggy if you compare her picture to Beitish shorthairs she was the double of them with the big round face and short legs and her personality was the same too. She might well have been half pedigree but regardless she was gorgeous  :Luv:

Don't think I have ever seen these breed of cats?  I have two dogs who look like teddy bears,wonder what a puddycatlookingteddy looks like.  Can anybody find a pic for me?  I'm curious now :evillaugh:
Love me,love my animals.

I am a moggie lover. One of my cats is part pedigree (if you can have such a thing!) but that came about because of neglect on his previous owners part (and a lot of inbreeding). My other cat is a beautiful long haired tabby. I love them both to bits!

If I could let myself have a pedigree without feeling guilty for not rescuing a moggie, I'd go for a Norwegian Forest Cat as they look so darn fluffy.

If I had the money I'd have a Maine Coon or a Bengal cat BUT to me moggies are just as loveable and I will problably always have moggies as pedigree cats are too expensive and I will never be able to afford one :'(

 :yes:

I confess to being a devoted rex lover now too.  Ya'd like codys personality then as i have it from many people (most permie breeders seem to be devons first)  the pemies very similar, maybe slightly more assured to be more affectionate and abit less tiring/highly strung.

Lynn I rescued 2x 15year old boys a few years ago,both needed thyroid meds,both had mammary tumours removed and they stayed with me for over 2 years until they died. I love all cats but Bengals are for looking at and those little Devon Rexes for their wonderful personalities.

When the great day arrives that there are no cats needing rescuing; I would love to have a couple of Devon Rexes, they are little clowns disguised as cats.

I can relate to that gillian..rather fancy a colour point LP myself just to get a pair of those gorgeous blue eyes  :Luv:

Did the devon have blue eyes ?  they would stand out a mile owing to them having large eyes anyway  :)

Yeh, he did, he was so gorgeous - theres something about the blue eyes isnt there? :Luv:

I love colourpoint persians, in fact I like most colourpointed cats, Raggies, British, Devons, Selkirks - if they're colourpointed - I love 'em! I saw a beautiful seal colourpoint Devon Rex in rescue a while ago, would have loved him, but he had to go as a single cat  :(

I particularly like tabby points - and although mine are all solid colourpoints - would love a chocolate tabby point persian - pretty rare!  ;D - closest would be a seal tabby, but thats a bit darker than choc. Heres a choc tabby point.

I would love having an Ocicat or two.

Maybe another Burmese to go with our Lirael.  Or a Bengal.

My husband is a bit put off by the £350 - £400 price tag though. So maybe 30th birthday next year I could have one of them ;)

Wouldn't stop me from getting another moggie or two as I love them as well.

When looking at cat breeds when we got cody my hubby found the "pixie bob" breed and feel in love..i have to say i was half tempted due to the size and the liklehood of a cat being polydactyl..they are very very rare in this country though but quite appealing to me (and hubby altho he now wants a serval or f1 savannah Rofl)

heres a pixie bob !!

littlekitten i didnt realise he was 50% siamese but often thought he had an oriental swipe to him...that explains it lOL.

I will try and gather a few pics of some gorgeous varient lps for you all to see a straight haired lp (no use for showing obviously be valuble for the lp genepool)

Males because yes they are normally bigger..It is my experience they can also be slightly more "needy" and affectionate than the independant females.

Cody is over 5 kgs now and is 15 mnth old..he is quite big for a laperm has are his brothers and father..the laperm in general are a "medium" size breed.

this pic might give an idea, the willow tree ornament is the 8" medium sized ones.   He (and lp's) have long bones so he does appear slender and very long when he's standing..you may notice on some pics the "long looking neck"..its fairly standard wth the breed.

I believe the "varient" laperms (straight haired ones) would have fur like the somali for want of a similar example.
