Choosing a purebred is one way to get a pretty good idea of what a cat’s looks and personality might be like, but it’s never a guarantee

Even within breeds, cat behavior, personality, and sometimes appearance will vary widely. Genetics and environment each play a role in an animal’s development, and one can never be certain how a particular cat will act and react to his humans or surroundings. In the end, your cat’s preferences and attitude are as individual as you are. One thing, however, is for certain: All thrive on love, attention, and respect.
