1. I have a soft spot for tabbys.

Most of the cats in my life have been tabbys.

[jpgray]

2. Tuxedo.

[yellowdogintexas]

41. ditto. I love Tuxedo cats, even though I do not currently have one nt

[Orsino]

3. I dunno.

I couldn't pick just on appearance. :shrug:

I just love the kittehs.

[BarenakedLady]

4. That Maine Coon looks just like my Maya

I wonder if that is what she is.

:shrug:

[charlie and algernon]

6. certianly looks like it

or a similiar long-haired cat.

[Tom Kitten]

35. she looks like a Norwegian Forest Cat, possibly

she's beautiful, looks like Cat, the first cat who adopted us.

[Inchworm]

5. Main Coons have cool feet

Tufts of hair between their toes. I also like when the tufts of hair pooch out on each side of their neck.

:hi:

[Lorien]

56. Tufty toes!

[Patiod]

7. I have Calico-Tabby - how can I choose just one???

Our little cat looks just like the tabby pictured, but with patches. The vet said she's a "brown-patch tabby".

[charlie and algernon]

8. i think you need to post pictures

we gotta see her :D

[Patiod]

16. Twist my arm

[charlie and algernon]

27. what a cutie!

definitely looks Tabby, with a speck of Calico :-)

[AlCzervik]

9. is orange a kind of cat, if so i like those.

i think cats are pretty cute though.

[charlie and algernon]

10. isn't that a tabby?

Aren't there Orange Tabby's?

[AlCzervik]

13. i have no idea.

[Roon]

11. My favorite kind of cat..

is any kitty that is living with me! :o

[ceile]

12. I'm partial to torties. n/t

[demnan]

14. I love them all

But you left out a few kinds. Abby, Tuxedo, cow cat etc. I voted Siamese because there is no love like being loved by a Siamese.

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Any cat that I will allow me to appreciate it is my favorite.

That one old cat a friend owned, Maynard, was stand-offish until his very last year, then became comfortable being with others...odd one, but handsome. Perhaps he finally gave up taking offense at the name.

[lildreamer316]

22. Could not agree more.

Love me some any-kind kitties.

[Fire Walk With Me]

51. Poops- combined sentences.

Should read "Any cat that will allow me to appreciate it is my favorite."

[AlCzervik]

17. i like the blue colored cats too, my neighbor cat is like a grey blue short haired deal with

green eyes. Anyone know what type that is?

[demnan]

20. A Russian Blue, perhaps

We had one of those (well he looked like one anyway). Pretty cats.

[AlCzervik]

23. oh yeah, that's it.

[KamaAina]

18. Ha! The first two are calico and tabby!

I once had a conversation with the boss (years ago, back East). I had just had a visit with a coworker and her four cats. :loveya: One, Merri (her brother was Pippin :-) ) was a "Talico", like patiod describes above. So I'm describing Merri to the boss -- who replies "What's a calico?" Uh, okay. He did go to prep school in England, after all. Maybe he calls them "torties". And then:

"What's a tabby?"

As the art director put it, "Aren't, like, nine out of ten cats you see tabbies?"

From then on this man, who stands all of 5'6", was affectionately known as "the Little Dunce". :dunce:

edit: The calico is the official cat of the state of Maryland, while Massachusetts' official cat is the tabby. Believe it or not, the Dunce is a Williams grad. So no reunion for him!

[graywarrior]

19. I have a Maine Coon/Tabby mix with a demented personality disorder

He's wicked cool even tho he desperately needs therapy.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. I have a soft spot for scottish folds.

[billyskank]

24. Burmese

Mostly because of one dear friend, now departed and much missed. But I have come to think that they are the most beautiful, elegant animals.

[charlie and algernon]

26. those eyes!

beautiful animal!

[MissMillie]

25. My answer is: YES!

:silly:


I love them all!

[mainegreen]

28. Either Siamese or MaineCoon. Love both breeds super smart and friendly personalities.

[racaulk]

33. I have one of each!

:bounce:

Well, almost. I have one Tonkinese (similar to Siamese and Burmese cats) and a Maine Coon mix (she looks like a Maine Coon, but her mother is a solid gray British shorthair). And you're right, both breeds are very intelligent and friendly...but I could be a little biased in my opinion. :)

Here's a pic of the girls helping me with my laundry:

[jobycom]

29. That's like choosing my favorite donut.

You can't go wrong!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Couldn't possibly choose one...

but I do miss Mandu, my blue persian.

[Dogtown]

31. Feral

:evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

32. My parents had a Manx Calico when I was growing up so I voted Manx

They've got a black cat and a tuxedo ragdoll right now.

[racaulk]

34. My favorite cats are lolcats!!!

[Rob H.]

36. I have a tabby-siamese mix

so I have the best of two worlds. :) She's slowly getting darker, though.

Summer when she came home with me in March:



Summer last month:



And no, I never get tired of posting pictures of my blue-eyed baby. :P

[TZ]

37. Torties...

RIP Turtle 1988-2005)

Of course I am also partial to "blues"...
My current:
Smokie:

Sophie:

[OrwellwasRight]

60. Smokie looks like my baby!

Kato!

[Skittles]

38. solid black cats

[Jamastiene]

40. I love black cats too.

I used to have 2 black cats. Kodak passed on a few years ago and Little Domino passed away this past March. I miss them. I do love black kittehs though. :hug:

[yellowdogintexas]

42. me too. I have a gorgimous one currently. nt

[Skittles]

54. they take a piece of our hearts with them

the price of love, my grandma used to say :cry:

[Jamastiene]

39. I like strays the best.

They come to me. I'm much too lazy to "go get" a pet. I wait for them to come to me hungry and make friends with them. They move in when they are ready. :D

[Taverner]

43. Maine Coon's RAWK!!!

[keroro gunsou]

44. teh lolcat.

eol.

[Gormy Cuss]

45. Money cat.

AKA tortoise

[Sannum]

46. Siamese, if you please.

Beautiful, loving and graceful with just a tiny bit of attitude :).

They love to talk!

[nytemare]

47. The "I can haz earz?" cat.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

58. There is nothing in the world cuter than a Scottish Fold kitten

And I love all cats!

[BrklynLiberal]

63. Absolutely right....They are beyond adorable..

[TimeChaser]

48. Cow-spotted kitties

I have two :D

[Withywindle]

49. You don't have an "all of the above" option.

I wanna take 'em ALL home. :loveya:


I'm gonna be pedantic: Some of your options are breeds and some are color patterns. Not the same thing. You can have a calico Manx or a tabby Maine Coon, for example.

[bigwillq]

50. Dogs beat cats any day of the week!

:bounce:

[DeepBlueC]

52. my cats, a motley crew

3 black, one tortoiseshell, and one black and white Batman cat.

[lizerdbits]

53. The one I find at the SPCA with a sad story

and is older. No one adopts those, so I pick them. They are so happy I don't want kittens! The first one I got was about 7 and given up because the owner's GF was moving in and was allergic. I only had her about 3 years before she died, but she had a home for that time. The second was about 10 given up because the owner was terminally ill. He's still with me and I'm still cleaning up his angry piss when I get home late more than 2 days in a row. x(

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

59. That's how I got my wonderful little guy.

He's a Himalayan mix (fawn-pointed buff and with an unmistakably Siames-y voice). He'd been raised as an indoor kitten, then kicked outside to be an outdoor cat. At least the craven swine responsible for him left him food outside. though he lost all of his left ear and half his right ear to frostbite. He lived outside for about seven years, then the asshats moved away and abandoned him. Fortunately the neighbors called Feline Rescue, a local shelter. The foster had him for over a year and I was the first person to call about him. Well, that reduced me to tears and sealed the deal. We've been together since August 2005.

Here's a link to my first DU post about him, with pic. His name's Max now, and he is loved! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3784455

[lizerdbits]

70. Ha, my boy's name is also Max

Great story, I'd have picked the cat with that background too.

[charlie and algernon]

76. that's how I ended up with Esther

The shelter I went to had all the cats and kittens running around freely which is great in one respect, but puts the older cats at a disadvantage. Everyone pays attention to the little kittens running around and playing and ignores the calmer cats. Esther is a 5 yr old overweight cat who spent her time sitting around watching the world go by, so I had to take her. Otherwise she'd still be there getting ignored by prospective owners. Now she's got a house to herself and plenty of attention. At the shelter she'd gobble her food right away, perhaps out of fear of it being stolen, now she paces herself and is slowly starting to lose some weight.

[Lorien]
