I had a cat but he passed away a while back. I would like to own another cat just like him but I don't know his breed. I've tried looking it up but never got anything. He was cream colored, had a lot of striped markings on his face, blue eyes, and a cooned striped tail. I saw a picture of a cat that looked like him on a bag of dads catfood once. If anyone can help please let me know.

The problem with this is that there are very few pure-bred cats out there. Your other cat was probably a mix of tabby and who knows how many other mixes in his "family tree"... know what I mean?

Also, remember that cats are known to have unique "personalities", so don't assume that one "just like" your other one will be the same.

I would instead look for a cat that has a "personality" like your old one rather than looking for one that looks like it or is the same (or close) breed.

Here is what looks like a very comprehensive site showing and describing the various breeds: http://www.fanciers.com/breeds.html

Hope this helps!

Here's another link with picture galleries, maybe you can find one close to the breed you had to identify it. Good Luck. It's true about the 'purrsonality' being more important. I've had several different types and they all are great.

Good Luck. http://cats.about.com/od/catpictures/ here's another one..

And along that idea, I've previously had 2 cats of the same breed - but each had very different personalities.

Thank you all that replied to my question it is much appreciated. I'd also like to say that I'm well aware that cats have their own personalities, and I didn't mean to say I want another cat exactly like him because that is impossible. No cat could ever replace him. I just loved the type of cat he was, and would like to have another one that looks like him. I just didn't know the type of breed to look for but I looked at another site that was referred to me and I think he may have been a tabby point- siamese. So I'm going to try to find out more on that. Again Thank you all for your help. :)

After searching many links I came across a breed call siamese - point lynx, the breed is somewhat simailiar to what mine was but mine didn't have the pointed ears and skinny body. So I only typed in siamese- lynx and aha! That's him, I'm 100% positive. So now I just need to find a breeder close to where I live... lol more searching.

Ps. I don't think I ever told my cats name, it was Oscar.
