Zoey in her full wrath....<\/p><\/div>\n

Hmmmpfff\u2026\u00a0 As seen on the catster blog<\/a>, The Cat Fancier\u2019s Association (CFA) has just come out with its 2010 Top 5 List as of\u00a0registered cat breeds <\/a>and the results have caused a bit of a riff in our feline family with considerable disagreement and temper tantrums. Needless to say, I am writing this post on my own as Zoey has just slammed the door and shut herself in the bedroom. She won’t even let me use our official Zee\/Zoey “Mews-Worthy” picture in this post. First discrepancy would be point number one – leading the list as the reigning champion since the 1970’s\u00a0is the Persian. Some kind of nonsense about their\u00a0obvious beauty, good personality, and love of people…\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Look at how sweet I am... clearly a mistake has been made...<\/p><\/div>\n

I really think this must be some sort of editing misprint or accidental mix up on behalf of the CFA, because the number two top breed is me, the\u00a0Maine Coon, also fondly known as\u00a0“the gentle giant.” \u00a0Clearly we are the sweetest breed in the entire world and how this mistake gets past editing year after year\u00a0is beyond me, and therefore I felt it my obligation to point out this glaring error. I will expect a retraction by nights end…<\/p>\n

Number three on the list\u00a0is the Exotic. Well, I don\u2019t even know what that breed is, so how it made it to number three, I\u00a0don’t have a clue.\u00a0I thought exotic was a descriptive word and not an actual breed, but\u00a0here is the\u00a0definition from CFA\u00a0President, Jerry Hanza, who has been a Persian cat breeder for 15 years, in case you didn’t know either. \u00a0“An Exotic is pretty much a Persian cat with short hair,\u201d says Hanza. \u201cIt’s a good choice for people who like the Persian laid-back personality but don\u2019t want to deal with the grooming.\u201d He continues, “Exotics come in all the colors of Persians and have the same head and face structure, but their shorter fur, with its fuzzy texture, is much more low maintenance than its long-haired cousin.”<\/p>\n

Whatever\u2026. seems like maybe the Persians have been greasing the kitty litter box if you know what I mean… \u00a0just saying\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mr. Jazz<\/p><\/div>\n

Number 4\u00a0 on the list is the Ragdoll, which I will admit is an excellent choice. Our Mr. Jazz who resides with us is a Ragdoll and he is actually quite a nice cat if you like soft, cuddly, happy cats who like to purr and look like big ole bears. My humans love Jazz a whole lot, so that must say something.<\/p>\n

Last on the list is Sphynx, which I gotta admit, kind of confused me. I thought I was looking at a picture of a rat or a chihuahua, but turns out it\u2019s actually a breed of cat. I\u2019m sure it is a really nice cat, I really can’t make judgement on something I know nothing about, but I do know it can get a bit obnoxious grooming my fur, so\u00a0maybe the Sphynx really has it all figured out.<\/p>\n

Ugg, I hate having to say this, because, ME, ME, ME. I have to deal with the outstretched claws of Zoey, and you can only imagine how the fur is flying in our house.\u00a0 Hell hath no fury like the wrath of a scorned Zoey. No where on the list is the Bengal. And I mean NOWHERE. I tried everything I could do to find the word Bengal, but with no luck.\u00a0 Not even a mere whisper. Zoey is so mad I can\u2019t even write the words she is spouting, they are so foul. She has made it very clear to me, that the Bengal breed is superior to ALL breeds, including the Maine Coon, and there is no room for discussion.\u00a0 Dear Mr. Hanza, for my safety, would you please reconsider your list?<\/p>\n

I was willing to give this\u00a0list a “3 Paws Up,” maybe even a 4, but Zoey absolutely refuses to allow that. She continues to pout in the bedroom and tells me she will never growl at me again if I so much as give this article “1 Paw Up.” So, as you can see… we give this list no paws up at all…. Sigh…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
