Who doesn't know about Siamese?

And most people I know Have heard of Ragdolls, and Sphinxes at least.

[–] NBJack@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bombay is best bai.

Which is particularly ironic as the breed is known for its silky black coat, and bai can also mean "yellow mist".

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Bombay's are great, but I'm partial to British shorthairs myself.

I learned a lot about siberians when I took to the internet to figure out why my stray kitten was so weird. Fun fact- they don't reach maturity until 6 years old. Mine is 9 and still hasn't gotten there.

They do make good pets for people who prefer dogs but want more chaos in the house.
