I don't know how you screen for this (possibly gender?) but there is a wide variation in bird slaughtering propensity. Even if you don't care about the welfare of the birds, owning a bird-hungry cat is a massive PITA.
What Wang said. But also, given the black ones are hardest to rehome because people are idiots, I’d lean towards one of those. Plus they’re insanely cool little panther gods. And make you feel a bit witchy-like.
They've always been given away or turned up. Don't think I would ever buy one, there are so many in rescue places. Having said that, I don't know how insane they are about vetting with cats, have only ever dealt with them for dogs. I suspect many people who buy pups and kittens try the animal centres first. They keep themselves in business for sure.
What is this purchasing of a cat thing? Don't think we have ever done purchasing in my family. Cat just decided to move in or was a kitten from someone we knew.
I must confess to rather liking the looks of a tabby. There's something in that variegated grey/brown and stripey coat that harks back to the distant past, when the ancestors of modern moggies stole soft-footed out of the Egyptian desert towards the granaries that stored the surplus of agriculture, and the rodents they attracted.
I adore white cats. My mum had a white cat who was deaf, she said it’s really common in white ones.
My little white cat got skin cancer and had her ears chopped off so she looked like a little otter. Vet told me in summer they should have factor fifty on the tips of their ears.
Or those cute little kittens who come up to your table in Italy. Aww. It's hungry. Give it a bit of pasta. Then they hiss at you and turn to reveal half their face is missing and they shit on your doormat. Don't feed cats on holiday. Cat mafia.
Two of ours were rehomes one is a purchase. We wanted mini leopards for their crackers personalities and haven’t been disappointed! They’re very chatty, obstinate, opinionated and loving in different ways.

Do you prefer a smooth short haired breed or something altogether bushier.

This is entrapment.
Shame on you (and for the lack of pun).

I would only ever get a cat from somewhere like battersea.
IME of this, the cat chooses the owner, like a feline ollivander's

We had a deaf cat. Put a bell round its neck and it didn't stand a chance of catching any birds. It got run over sadly. Mother of seven.

I'm disappointed by the lack of pussy based comments on a prolif.
I absolutely love black cats and grew up with four of them over the years.

What Wang said on both counts. Otherwise, the one that's been at the shelter the longest.
I've always wanted a black cat! I'd name it Gigi after the cat in Kiki's Delivery Service.

The cool thing about rescue cats is that you have really goods odds that they feasted on the decaying body of their deceased elderly previous owner

Most contributors on ROF are at an age where there is a high probability a kitten would live longer.
Unless you like the idea of your cat feasting on your decaying corpse, rescue centres it is then.

In the grand scheme if things I would be quite content for my then current collection of atoms to become cat food

Was the deaf cat white, sieteocho?

Cats should only be kept on farms where there are rats to keep at bay. House cats are wrongly domesticated and plain weird imo.

It was a white cat. Like the one off the Kattomeat tin. She followed us home one day and stayed. It's not really theft.

You can only properly plan world domination if you have a white cat to stroke.

Yes, very sad. Didn't hear the vehicle approaching, maybe?

Seriously a white cat with its ears cut off or teeth pulled out. Not what I am looking for in a pet.
