types of cats


Cats are great companions for most people. However, some breeds are more appropriate for certain age groups and personality types. For example, some breeds are easier to handle than others. All breeds are usually appropriate for adults, but different types of cats can be better suited for each person's lifestyle and personal preferences.

Non-pedigree shorthairs, or domestic shorthairs can show any kind of coat, but certain coat colors and patterns are more common than others. They are sometimes found in pedigree cats too. The tabby and calico pages are the most popular here (that's my darling Coco in the thumbnail picture below).
Sadly, black cats are one of the least popular. These poor cats are unfairly maligned by cultural myths and superstition. They are simply beautiful cats who are sadly stereotyped in the same way that people stereotype each other based on skin color. They are cats like any other; however, to me, their dark solid coats look so....luxurious....elegant. Their coats usually have a beautiful sheen that makes them look like satin. Please have a look at the beautiful black cats and if you are looking to adopt, don't overlook them as so many people do.
