Hmmm… is there a breed in that book called “pain in the tail” ’cause I’m tellin’ you, my brother Seville has been up to mischief and causin’ me grief. I’m sure that mischief makin’ is in his genes. I’M SURE OF IT!

I didn’t get into cat breeds until I adopted a Manx… then a Norwegian Forest. Talk about two very different breeds. This would be an excellent resource.

The ratings of characteristics is awesome – that’s always my biggest consideration when thinking about getting a certain breed of cat.
