All cats I've owned were "oh! A cat!" Style cat. My grandmother had a Russian blue and a Scottish fold, although she lost the Scottish fold to my mother when she moved in with us. That cat loved my mother. I loved the Russian blue. He was an idiot.
I think the siamese-types might just be orientals with the same color pattern as siameses. Which is basically the same thing as far as I'm concerned but apparently there are differences
Yay for Oriental voids, this lady has been in the family for a decade, also, everytime I hear someone say that all cats are assholes, I know that they never had an Oriental
"just as many"? Press X to doubt. I don't doubt you've heard some, but people just don't care about cat breeds in the same way people care about dog breeds.
There is a cat fancy, purebred cats exist, but there is a population of normal cats in the world that haven't had their genes mangled, where there really isn't with dogs. Every single dog in the world is a something something mix, whereas my cat is "a grey one."
The funny thing is, that eskie looks like a Samoyed cross (source: I own an eskie, and have that conversation about what breed she is often).
That being said, I also have a fluffy void, a fluffy female orange cat, a Muppet of a calico with weird half curly fur, and a ...i don't even remember her pattern, but I think it falls under bicolor with Egyptian Mau colorations.
