Looking for information on certain breeds

[chellen2]

I wasn't sure where to post this but I am researching a few cat breeds. I have owned cats but never purebred.
I had an amazing domestic shorthair and after having her, there are some traits that I would like to find in cat, which is why I am
considering purebred.
I was looking at Ragdolls, Maine Coons, and Manx, based on what I've read. I would like an intelligent, social cat that likes people, affectionate cat that follows me around and will be a lap cat, and a cat that is unafraid of dogs, loud noises.

kind of unrealistic expectations you have each cat is different and will do their own thing

I agree... This is personality of the individual cat and could be challenging to get all in one cat. There are always outliers for any generalities about breeds too so it doesn't guarantee the cat will be that way. I do think that maybe a kitten would be best, so you can try to desensitize them to dogs/loud noises and socialize them from the start. But, some personalities are just the way they are - even from kittenhood.

Once you decide on a desired Breed. Then I suggest you Contact one of the Breeder Associations. ACFA, CFA or TICA for a reputable Breeder. This way your assured your Kitten or Adult is healthy.
