I was just wondering what everybodies favorite purebred is.I have a male
ragdoll (Max) and a female maine coon (Xena) and I think they are the best
cats in the world but I would like to hear about other purebreds.


I like my purebred alley cat because she goes with the curtains.

LOL, my favorite purebreds are the neutered ones.
Seriously, if I had to pick my favorite non-moggie, it would probably be the
Applehead Siamese or Maine Coon.

My favorite is the *only* truly purebred cat:

I suggest you have echocardiograms done on both cats as soon as possible
since hyperthrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is prevalent in both breeds.

and I think they are the best

The breed with the most (18) documented genetic defects is the Siamese
followed by the Persian and Burmese.

Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome - Persians and Himalayans have the most worst
conformation. Now that's a particularly nasty defect that didn't even exist
in nature until some moron decided cats should have flat faces, round heads,
and short thick necks.. Maybe he was trying to create a cat in his own
image.

The respiratory muscles of these cats have to generate more force to produce
airflow through the narrowed air passages. This can result in barotrauma to
the mucosal lining of the airways. In severe cases the respiratory muscles
become fatigued which can result in ventilatory failure. Brachycephalic dogs
especially the English bulldog - which usually requires surgery (Pekingese,
shih tzus, Lhasa apsos, shar peis) can have the same problem.

Manx and Manx mixes are prone to rectal prolapse and sacrocaudal dygenesis
(malformation of the sacrocaudal vertebre) - probably as a result from
tailless breeding. Now that was a stroke of pure stupidity; breeding cats
without a tail... Cats use their tails for balance.

The list goes on but I'm too nauseated to continue.
