The only breeds people mention are ones that are notoriously annoying. Persian, Siamese, Sphinx.

Everything else is based on appearance... tabby, calico, mackerel, "maine coon" (which is often used to describe cats that *aren't* maine coon)

Dog breeds are also just appearance tbf

@irmoz Not really, they're also temperament *and* biological conditions -- like, in many cases, detrimental susceptibility to things like cancer, cataracts, or bone disease. See: Golden retriever
