The Savannahs etc look lovely. But there's stacks of unwanted and unloved tabbies and the like out there...
every other cat i've had has been a moggy. our last 2 were kittens from a rescue who turned out to have cat flu at 8 weeks, which we nursed them through and kept them both until the natural end of their lives. this dude needed a home just as much as any other cat out there. we did pay for him, but that amount would only have covered the neutering/jabs/chip he's already had, much less than a kitten from a breeder. by adopting a pedigree at least we have some idea what to expect in the way of temperament, even if that temperament is basically "mental"

You've clearly done more than your fair share of providing homes to unwanted pets bob, it wasn't aimed at you - more just a general comment. Round this way, it's the staffies that are the real problem - loads and loads of them in shelters, and yet the classifieds are full of 'pedigree' pups for sale. I suspect a lot of the people buying them wouldn't get a rescue one because they can't offer a suitable home, which makes it even worse really.every other cat i've had has been a moggy. our last 2 were kittens from a rescue who turned out to have cat flu at 8 weeks, which we nursed them through and kept them both until the natural end of their lives. this dude needed a home just as much as any other cat out there. we did pay for him, but that amount would only have covered the neutering/jabs/chip he's already had, much less than a kitten from a breeder. by adopting a pedigree at least we have some idea what to expect in the way of temperament, even if that temperament is basically "mental"
On top of that, there's the genetic health problems that come with pure breeding. I've no idea if that's an issue with cats tbh? Massive problem with dogs though.

I am about to get a pedigree cat (long story involving a vet and a cardboard box- but we are paying market rate because we can, and it isn't obscene) but agree with all your points.
Have to say the bengals are stunning.... And mental is good (isn't it?)
E2a vet says cat pedigrees aren't inbred/damaged like dogs are. Tho some dogs are fine, it is a few breeds that give them all a bad name

Proper break this time
i fear i may be ruined for lifei've had every flavour moggy under the sun, but in 24 hours he's turned me into one of those people that think their pets are kids
he's got the most wicked personality ever, incredibly playful and people-focused and he's really starting to settle in, he's been curled up asleep on my feet for the past couple of hours
and he really does look like he's been sprinkled with gold dust in the sunlight
Friend where I'm going to be living in Sheffield has one... They're brilliant aren't they? Sort of cats with extra catness, clever little blighters too. You need to get him a high post type thing that he can jump up to and sit on surveying his domain (they absolutely love climbing).

Some friends have got one and he's a people cat too. We went over for dinner along with a few other people and he just sauntered in to the room and jumped straight on to a chair next to me - mine are friendly but wary of strangers and always hide initially.i fear i may be ruined for life
this is my little bengal girl.
she likes to go for walks.
they are full of personality and make great companions.

we've got him a scratchy/tunnel thing, no room for one of those cat trees but he's welcome on the furniture (except in the kitchen) and he'll be going outside so plenty of climbing opportunities there
she's gorgeous
do you take her out on a lead? i have to admit trying the harness we were given on marley last night but i got cold feet when it came to squeezing his legs through, he has very impressive claws
she's gorgeous
no, she just trots along beside. she doesn't respond well to too much handling, is also well armed and not shy about using them.
shes quite a talker and we sort of do a marco polo type thing if i walk off ahead too far or we are in the paddock over the back which has long grass.
most times she'll come when called but a lawn mover or free dog can make a short walk around the block take an age. patience is key and have plenty of time.

much as i'm tempted to take him out on a lead - just because you can - i won't do cos we're in town. we have enclosed gardens out the back that are safe for him to roam, out front is just roads and cars and the parks are full of dogs which i doubt would be much fun for either of us.
it does sound ace though he really does seem to be much more dog-like than any other cat i've known.
