Hollister Cowgirl IS RIGHT!!!
We have had a few different cats during my life, and i think that the short haired siamese r best. They have very funny personalities and are a lot more fun than some other cats. They are really more personal. Then there is also the low fur maintancne aspect, cos they have short fur so it doesnt get every where like with some other cats.

The one that picks you.
Seriously - go to a shelter or rescue group, interact with some of the cats, and see which one picks you. Cats have an uncanny ability to pick the perfect match.
A few questions you should ask yourself before you go:
Do you want a kitten or an adult? Kittens are very cute, but high-energy and get into everything. With an adult, you know what you're getting and they're more able to take care of themselves for a few hours.
Do you want a long or short hair? Longhairs are beautiful, but more work, since they need to be brushed regularly.
Would you be willing to consider a special needs cat? They're often very thankful to find a home, but of course their issues might mean more work for you.

I've been doing a little research on this. Siamese are great if you are home a lot. They do not like to be alone (which is why my siamese has a buddy). They are the most loving breed of cat I know.
Tortoiseshells are loveable and are good if you only want one cat. They don't like other pets very much, especially other cats.
The next cat I want is a Havanna Brown. They don't shed!
Stray and mixed breeds are just as wonderful and don't have as many health issues/defects that pure breeds do. Good luck!

A cat or kitten that doesn't have a home. Preferably from a shelter-I don't believe in paying absorbant amounts of money for animals that have been bred to the point they have health problems and are typically high-strung. No-give me a poor soul on the brink any day over papers.

The one that picked me is probably the best cat I've been with. I fell sleep in a sleeping bag at a friends and the kitten barely able to walk kept leaving his mother and crawling in with me. Every thing is great now..current on shots and neutered.

It really depends on your taste and availability of time. If you're away from the house most of your time, I wouldn't get a long-hair cat. They need lots of time and care every day. I had a Silver-Tipped Persian. She needed constant brushing and trips to the groomer. Persians are great cats. They are beautiful and graceful, but they are quite expensive to buy. I might suggest a Russian Blue. They are gorgeous, but they aren't long-hair. See the link I provide.

A shelter kitty. Your local shelter should have a good supply of cats that need homes and in a month or so, there will be more kittens out there needing homes. I got both my kitties from grocery stores.

The Siamese cats are the best for me.
They love playing games and they're very very friendly.
I used to have 4 kittens and with my experience ı can say that they are very very cute....
Look at this...

Definitely a kitty from the humane society. You will be rescuing a cat. Your fees will pay for spay or neuter and it will get all its first shots.
