I have a confession to make. Up until I was in high school, I didn't know that there were specific cat breeds! LOL! I thought they were "just cats"! I've learned a bunch since then!

Me too Cookie! I mean, the only cats I had ever known were just regular tom cats, with either short or long hair. I think it is silly to pay any money for a cat, considering how many are stray on the streets. If you want a new kitty, just walk outside your house. I'm sure you'll find one close by!

Seth, even if you pick up a stray cat off the street you will still have to pay for the spay/neuter, vaccinations, blood test, etc. You won't know what diseases that animal is carrying and that could be bad news if you already have animals in your home. So if you adopt a cat, you have peace of mind that some health history of the animal is known and the adoption fee is usually less than having all that work done on your own. Special breed and regular cats are all great, we just wanted people to know that there are good options out there for adopting a purebred cat.

Ahem....I hear you talking about me! I'm an ocicat, from a (icky) breeder...rescued through CatsHaven. I cost UNDER $100. with spay, shots, vet checks, etc. And I'm one fabulous kitty! Barb at CatsHaven is the #1 Cat Lady...give her a call!
