Exotic shorthair.

My sweet boy was an exotic I picked up from Craigslist for his shelter adoption fee. New family realized he was "too gross" for their white-walled, white-carpeted home.

Was the sweetest boy ever. Loving towards everyone and simply fearless! Just always looked angry. Miss you, Waluigi.

He was lucky to have you. ♥️

None of them. You don't have Russian blues in this image, hands down they're some of the best cats.

Also Lynx Point Siamese is missing. One of the best cats I've ever had.

I love my Lynxpoint Siamese known as Biscuit

Fun fact, basically all of the US Russian Blue stock was cross bred with Siamese lines during WW2 to prevent inbreeding. Almost all of them carry recessive color point genes so you'll see lavender point kittens out of purebred RB breeding occasionally.

the only ones i don't like are the ones we've bred to have congenital health issues, i will never understand how people think the flat faces are in any way appealing.

So cute! Thanks for sharing.

anyone who calls cats by their breed is like someone who calls Gatorade by its flavors and not its color
That being said unlike my 'leftovers' colored kibby :)

My favorite are moggies.

I am fascinated by these creatures that evolution has shaped according to their environment and in contact with mankind.

I like cats that are stupid. I also like smart cats. But my cats are stupid.

Center right. Love the hair tufts, love the nose, and love that they are big enough to make cuddling feel premium™.

Man I like cats but to me it looks like there're three breeds here max, with a few that might be mixed breed lol

There are so many similarities i feel like it's a stretch to call many of them different.
