I am one day considering purchasing pedigree breed cats to show and eventually breed (I am talking 3 years min though). I'm really fond of the idea of an Ocicat because they're supposedly good pets which would be the main purpose of any animal in my home.

Just because I'm nosy - what breed do you have and what made you chose it?

That's an easy one to answer

Siamese and Orientals, although we don't often breed Siams now. We started off with a Siamese but the moment we were offered our first 2 Orientals (a Black Tortie and a Havana), we were totally and utterly addicted and now have a house full of them I originally chose the Siamese because I had them as pets years ago, and I love the look of them and their intelligent nature. The Oriental's are twice everything the Siamese are i.e. twice as gorgeous, twice as talkative, twice as loving, twice as demanding, twice as clever, twice as naughty, they are perfection on 4 legs. I could not ever imagine my life without the Ori's, it doesn't bear thinking about. They love human and feline companionship, get on well with dogs, and there is never a dull moment when sharing your home with an Ori My ultimate aim is that in 5 years' time I am breeding Orientals only and no Siamese which is easier said than done.

Have I bored you yet lol

Ragdolls, as they are Indoor cats, lost a few mogs on the road
and they love every one, very trusting, they are like little dogs in cats bodies, they also love the companionship and fuss from all,

Easy for me the longhairs, my first ever moggie in my first ever own home was a Persian cross from a rescue in Bolton. She ended up being hit by a car and I still have nightmares about it yet. So, yeah its Persians for me all the way but you have to be dedicated and prepared for the high maintenance. The constant grooming and eye cleaning that they need. I would love to move into exotics as well because I just love the face shape on both of these breeds.....................................

Oh as Linda said as well, must say i feel so secure now that all my cats are bred and reared to live indoors...........................

Siamese for us also and of course Foreign WhitesBecause they are naughty,love to chat and are ultra intelligentNot a lot unlike myself-oh and modest too

I never said you were gobby, pmsl!

i have a raggie too, totally laid back, brill with my autistic child!

I should hope not lady-i know how shy and retiring you areNOTHow's your Summer diddling??

Not at all - wanted to hear all about them - that is why I asked.
I have met Siamese before but only as rescue cats but have never come across an Ori - Would these breeds be jealous of children and other animals though?
