Well, I had my mind made up to get a Ragdoll cat...as I have never heard of the cat Val posted. Now, I need to do more research.
I need a cat of my own. Our cat, CC, thinks my husband is his lord and master and I am just a nothing in our home. LOL
To: catpuppy
thanks pup...just like we are always glad to know you and Crusher are getting along peacefully too...scarey things in nature.

To: catpuppy
Cow in Washington confimed to have BSE (Mad Cow Disease).
I am hearing the spokesperson say the same thing I heard said in England just before the disease killed folks there: "The risk to human health is minimal."
To: catpuppy
oh..did I mention that at the epicenter 4.4 miles down into the earth the quake was 7.9? If this had been in a more metropolitan area the damage would have been severe.
To: catpuppy
quakes, Nully or Swervie...ah they are all dangerous LOL
To: celtic gal
That is a large quake, isn't it?
I spent four years in California and never experienced a quake but was shaken awake by a rare earthquake the very first night spent in my Georgia mountain home.

Well, cats are odd, their behavior varies wildly from one cat to the next.
I've met and known two bobcat domestic mixes.
One was mine, the other was a neighbor's.
The difference was night and day.
So it's hard to predict cat behavior.
But some breeds are predisposed -not sure if that is the correct word- to affectionate behavior.
I've heard that Ragdolls and Wiry Rex cats are affectionate.
My bobcat mix loved to be combed and brushed, she enjoyed being fussed over, and most long haired/ medium haired cats do as well.
According to the website Ragamuffins have a sweet disposition.
(read as attention and lap hogs, a good trait actually)
And heavy boned, pretty tough, and long lived.
CC is a "Daddy's Cat"?
Unfortunately, that happens at times where a cat sees the spouse as an interloper.
Usually if the cat was there before the spouse, but also in a few cases where the cat 'switched alliances'.
Experienced that once, not pleasant.
The missus was pretty ticked that her cat 'hung out' with me more than her when we were dating.

Our (his) cat became his because I disiplined him and the DH did not. I feed him and the DH gives him the special treats. LOL
Anyway, this cat does not like anyone but us. He will not hiss or spit, but just run away from anyone but us. So, the grandkids first words were CC (simple to say) but he will have nothing to do with them.
So, I want a cat of my own without a paranoid attitude.And one who likes the grandkids, too.
I have heard that to know a kitten's nature...is to turn him over and rub his belly...and if he purrs...that is the cat you want.

Haven't heard that one before.
Hmm..
Gotta try it out.
I've usually run into the cats that are curious about everyone and will make you 'their' lap sitting spot.
*chuckle*
Mimi, the bobcat mix I had, pretty much chose me as 'her' person.
She was just this hissing little ball of fluff that we snatched from outside, her father would have killed her probably, and I ended up taking care of her on and off.
Well, being that I was 8 or so at the time, and she was just a kitten, she 'took' to me.
She lived to be 14 or so, but she did love other people.
If your lap was free, you became a kitty seat.
*chuckle*

Hmm.. yes.
The 'mommy makes me behave but daddy gives me goodies' thing.
That'll do it EVERY time regardless of breed.
As far as kids, cats pretty much aren't predictable in that sense with that.
I've never been able to pic out which cats will 'tolerate' kids and which ones won't.
Mimi never had kittens, but she tolerated my nephew pulling her ears, whiskers, tail, and rolling over onto her.
She only 'nipped' (pretty much just bumped him as if her were a misbehaving kitten) him once and that was because he was being fresh with her and she was treating him as if he were a kitten.
She then pinned his head down and washed his forehead.
That was a scene to behold, my nephew with his eyes crossed trying to see what my fluffball of a cat was doing rasping at his forehead.
By the time she was done, the poor kids hair was standing straight up on end in a huge cowlick in the middle of his forehead.
Yes, I should have stopped her, no I didn't as I was too busy laughing at my nephew's crossed eyes and squeaks of protest.
And she never used claws onc in teh whole incident, just remarkably gentle paw pressure and copious amounts of cat spit and rough cat breath tongue.
Thankfully, he doesn't remember this.

My first cat was one that I got from a litter of my neighbors's cat. She was a Russian Blue in temperment and looks, although no pedigree.
She lived eighteen years and is buried in my yard with a nice headstone, really.
To: Darksheare
Is your "Mimi" the big ole cat in your latest pictures of a cat?
To: Conservababe
Had a persian mix prior to Mimi.
She was 'Princess Caroline Matilda', and acted like it.
A long haired tuxedo cat, she had the curly belly fur of persians without the short face of persians and angoras.
She had cancer on her shoulder and had to be put to sleep when I was 6.
She was old though, my parents had her before I was born, and very affectionate.
Unfortunately she was dense as a rock and set herself on fire with a candle once, and electrocuted herself with a guitar string many years after the fire incident.
(Don't ask, it involved a guitar string replacement on a guitar, the cat, and a tap-a-line electrical extension.)
She had a cairn over her, and we moved from there when I was 13.

Mimi looked like that top right Norwegian Forest Cat pic.
My current cat is the white with black patches CHUNK on the desk in some image I sent to Gran once.
*chuckle*
Kearen is a diva, and acts it.
But Mimi was fairly large, but she would be considering she was a bobcat domestic mix.
She weighed in at 22 pounds tops and pretty much took up the whole couch when she sprawled out. (Distance covered, three to four foot.)
She was not a small cat, and I don't have any GOOD pictures of her to scan.
She looks like a normal small kitty in all of them, and none of them show the size she was.
Her coat pattern is best described as mackeral tabby with white.
That's the tabby topside with the white face legs paws and belly.
And to think she wasn't a Norwegian Forst Cat yet looked so much like one.

Admit it...your cat electrocuted herself with your guitar...and you are to blame. LOL
To: Conservababe
Well, my uncle Mark was changing his guitar strings and mom told him to pic them up because my cat was chasing them.
He says, "If she zots herself, THEN you can yell at m..*POP!*"
He never finished the last word because Caroline chased the very tip of the guitar string right into the tap-a-line and somehow grounded out.
The lights flashed and the cat FLEW backward in one jump away from the now *evil* string into the dining room.
40 foot away.
I thought my uncle was going to have a coronary.
LOL
