Hugs! :)

Do you have a favourite breed of cat?

Hugs back!

I wouldn't say I do, I love pretty much all breeds of cat :heart:

I have a cat named Lester, he's a tabby and he's 6 years old.


My favourites are Siamese (lilac points). I don't have one at the moment, but may get a male Siamese soon. I'll ask your advice before I do.

Siamese cats are very affectionate and loyal, they are a great choice for a pet. I found this article on WikiHow, hope it helps :)

The noun for Siamese is 'siamez', but you're right - a Siamese cat is 'pisicā siamezā', 'pisicā' being a feminine noun.

I wonder what it would be like to be able to communicate with animals. It would definitely solve the problem of not knowing whether Lester wants food, a snuggle, to be left alone, because a lot of the time it's difficult to work out the meaning of the word "Meow" Image

That would suck, because it would force you to have conversations with your cat. Conversation is very energy-consuming.

I had a classmate who is a catman(male equivalent of catlady). He told me about cats' mating rituals. 8O
