Hi! This Is My Cat, Katy!

[jporter]

As the title says, I'm new here, I joined because I'm planning to get a second cat (either a Sphynx or Persian) in 6 months and by lurking a lot of threads here I have resolved most of the doubts I had.
So anyways, this is my cat Katy, my dad found her 8 years ago outside of his office inside a box and covered with insects, and since then she is my best friend. Before her I didn't liked cats and now I love them. She hates everyone but my dad and me (only allows to be touched by the two of us and scratches anyone else who tries) but she is crazy affectionate towards me, which makes me love her even more.

Hello again! It’s nice to officially meet you! I hope to continue seeing you around TCS!

Here are some articles about both breeds you mentioned. They are very different to each other, but by visiting a cat show and reading articles like these, you can get a sense of which one would be a better fit for your lifestyle:

Persian Cats

The Sphynx Cat

Thanks! I've already read a lot of both breeds and I think I'm ready for either of those, I'll make a post when the new member of the family joins us.

Another warm welcome to TCS! I'm glad you joined the forum and hope we can be helpful if you have any other questions or concerns about the two breeds you're considering for a sister/brother for Katy. In the meantime, please feel free to post pics, read Articles and check out many of the other resources on the forum.

Hello and welcome to TCS. Katy is paws-itively beautiful.

Will your new cat be living with Katy? If so, due to the fact Katy "only allows to be touched by the two of us and scratches anyone else who tries" please ensure you are prepared to do a complete and proper introduction with the new cat.

You may have already read them, but here's the TCS articles on multi-cat households.

Good luck.

Yes, we will live together. And because of Katy's attitude I've been reading and watching a lot of videos about cat introduction, also my dream cat is a Bengal but I think that a high-energy cat would be to much for Katy lol, that's why I'm considering only low energy-friendly breeds.

WELCOME! And excellent thinking on your part! It's a pleasure to welcome someone so willing to do the research and work to find the right breed for their cat's new companion. Of course, as with Katy, for my money, "Rescue" is the best breed of all!

She’s a pretty kitty!
