Cat types:

• White

• Blue

• Void

• Tabby/standard issue

• Tortoise-shell/tortie

• Calico

• Siamese-style (may or may not have the face/head shape, but does have the coloring)

• Snub-nose

• Stubby-legged

I think they are technically just huge long-haired tabbies since they are the result of colonizers’ cats adapting to the North American winters.

I think the siamese-types might just be orientals with the same color pattern as siameses. Which is basically the same thing as far as I'm concerned but apparently there are differences

Yay for Oriental voids, this lady has been in the family for a decade, also, everytime I hear someone say that all cats are assholes, I know that they never had an Oriental

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah I used to think that the breed does not meaningfully affect their personality but that changed when I met my gf's orientals

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I couldn’t remember the word oriental so I used the one I did remember.

My cat is not listed.

We found him on our porch. When people ask his breed we just say porch cat.

Name is Fluffy.

I have two porch cats. They don't look it here, but are actually kind of giant.

Mine is a gas station cat

I’d say that’s a tabby. I just looked for pictures that didn’t have white + color, so the coloring would be more noticeable. The orange cat in my picture is also a tabby. Most of them are tabby anyway, since it refers to the pattern on the coat, and most cats have the same pattern regardless of color.

The stubby legs are pretty unhealthy I believe. I wouldn't support anyone who breeds cats for that purpose.

Where is Felix the cat? Also, kitler??
