I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I'm trying to figure out the breed of a cat I used to know. It was rather smallish, long black hair, little tuffs or "horns" of hair coming out of the tips of his ears, and it would talk and talk, but not meow. I thought he was a mutt, but then later heard from someone else that they had the same exact combination of characteristics in a cat they knew. Any ideas out there. My web search brings up nothing.

I've always had Maine Coons & it sounds like one, with one exception: they USUALLY aren't small. Notice, I said usually,however, there are exceptions. My old Maine Coon was a pedigree with papers & he was quite small. They ususally DO have tufts on their ears, called Lynx tips & usually "talk" rather than meow. Maine Coons do come in all black too, so it may very well have been a Coon cat.

Maine coones have long haird & long hairs on the tips of their ears. Look at the website of the Cat Fanciers Association. They have all the domestic cat breeds w/ pics.

Not necessarily a breed. Could have been a domestic long hair.
