Please let me start by saying I know literally nothing about cat breeds. To me a cat is a cat is a cat....
So to all of you experts in your field: I would like to know the advantages of adopting a purebred.
I was talking to someone about dogs the other day, and they said that it's easier to adopt a dog of a certain breed because you'll have a better idea of their temperment, so you're more likely to know what you're getting yourself into beforehand. Is it the same for cats? Although all animals are individuals it seems (to my uneducated self) that there's less drastic variation among cat personalities compared to dogs, so perhaps this is a less valid reason in ths case? Or am I totally wrong here? Why else is getting a certain breed "better" than your standard domestic cat?
Although I have no interest in adding another member to my family at the moment, I'd like you to sell me on the idea of purebreds! Educate me, please!
