How To Know Which Breed Of Cat Is Right For You
How do I know which breed of cat is right for me?
If you're thinking about getting a purebred cat, and you're wondering "Which one is right for me?" here's what I advise. Go to some cat shows in your area. They have all the different cat breeds there. And talk to those that are doing the shows. Talk to the judges, talk to the cat owners. Ask them "Please, be candid with me. Give me the top three good and bad tips, if you will, about this certain breed." And let them know the reason you are doing your homework is because you plan to have this cat in a loving home for its entire life. And when you say it that way, they're going to be more open to help you out. Secondly, I would advise you to talk to some cat behaviorists. They can give you the lowdown on certain temperaments. And just as we say that, there's always a super active maine coon, and a very mellow siamese: exceptions to the rule with these breeds. So you need to factor that in. Go to legitimate, reputable websites: The American Association of Feline Practitioners, the Winn Feline Foundation. They have experts that really, really study the different cat breeds, and you can get accurate information from them.
