Most of my life, I have had rescues (esp from my grandmother's feral cat colony) and often, the decision was made by the cat and not us!! Except of course the kittens which we socialized and found omes for.
I have been in love with the Siamese breed forever though and if I was asked sight unseen, I would list such traits as friendly, smart, curious, a talker and loves to communicate with humans, short hair. That of course is the Siamese but also the Sphynx which I have at the moment too. I find the Sphynx to be very like Siamese in that social, talkitive has to be with humans way!
In the end tho, if offered a cat based on the characteristics, I would not care what breed or combo of breeds the kitty is.
Great qustion btw!!
