What Cat breed would be best for me?

American Shorthair cats often are outdoor cats. A lot of the ones you suggested would need to be indoors. Turkish VAN cats enjoy to swim so you might consider that:) American shorthair cats are cool because they're all different. But it would not be good to keep certain cats outside. I'd say an American Shorthair or Turkish Van. If you have any questions on your joyus ball of fur, email me at froggyandsam@ymail.com
