This vaguely reminds me of another thread of yours.

Answer: Bombay. I think that counts. I really don't know though.

i honestly cannot decide. each of them is beautiful in its own way.

if i had to choose, i would go with the ocelot, the thai fishing cat and the pallas cat (manul) - speaking of which, why are the latter two not on the list?

among domestic cats, my favorite breeds are british shorthair or scottish fold (because i have one cat who is partially or completely this and i love his heavy build and hamster cheeks), somali (because both their temper and their coloring are unique, and my uncle used to have a very special cat who might have been one), bengal (i like the wildcat-like coloring), exotic shorthair (their flat, large-eyed faces are adorable, but then i am against breeding cats with physiological deficits, so i would never buy one), sphinx or rex (beautiful enormous, hyper-expressive eyes, very soft curly/wavy hair in the rex breed that can be stroked for hours, tails that can wind into a spiral, and their voices/vocalization patterns are quite singular, too, but with regard to physiological deficits, the same applies as above), maine coon (the size!) and breeds like siberian or norwegian forest cat (i like the way they look so natural, very similar to wild forest cats, and they have great hair that never tangles).

and any ginger cats. i have one that is buff (or pinkish/sand-colored) and another that is bright orange and both are my absolute favorites.

They are all the same to me. I don't care that much for cats. When it comes to dogs, there are very specific breeds I like though. Is there a dog thread somewhere?

Well, cats aren't all the same. And since this is a thread about cats, you might be a little more sensitive. Really, why did you go to this thread in the first place if you wanted to talk about dogs?

I know a joke about those, but it probably would be considered inappropriate for the thread.

my threads keep it real, share it if want. the more shocking and inappropriate the better ;)

Why is 5/2 (five halves) not really equal to 2 1/2 (two and one half)???

Domestic wise, I adore Sphynx, Tonkinese, Russian Blue, Burmese, and Bombay cats. Wildcat wise, I didn't really have one, until I looked up what a margay was. Those narrow faces, and eyes that look like the void. Gorgeous.
