We have always been dog people but my parents had to get cats to control the mouse problem on the farm they bought after retiring. My dad, who always thought cats were not nearly as worthy pets as big tough dogs such as pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Doberman Pinchers and never allowed me to have one as a kid, fell in love with cats after we got our first 3 mixed breeds.
Since we are newbies to the cat owners’ world and all of the kittens we have are mixed breeds, I was wondering whether or not purebred cats make better pets, are just as good as, or are the same as mixed breed cats?
I should also add that we no longer live on the farm and are now in the suburbs, but we are hoping to move back to the country within the next couple of years. Therefore, having a sweet kitty is every bit as important!
There are several really good answers here, so I will have you all vote on the best one. Thanks so much. I really learned a lot about purebred verses mixed kitties that I didn’t know.
