Who doesn't know about Siamese?

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

[–] NBJack@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.
