This cat was a solid slate gray/graphite. I dont know anything about cats and was curious as to what breed my neighbors cat might be or if they are quite common.
Thinking of getting a cat.

My neighbor has one as well. She knew we loved it so we watched it a few times for her. The thing rocked.... Cats are sweet, although I'm allergic to them.

get an old one from a shelter...kittens always get taken but the old ones just sit there and rot a lot of times
Hey if you want one I have a pure bread Himalayan, it's beautiful, it's fixed and it's litter trained well and it's declawed.......it's my wifes cat, please I will pay you to take it away!!!!!
It might have been a Russian Blue
Gorgeous cat... smokey grey fur... almost looks like suede. Has round eyes. Purebreeds will have green eyes. If you move the fur and look at the skin, it is bluish grey.
Excellent temperment!!! Loving and affectionate.
The one in this pic... was thrown out of a moving vehicle on a busy highway... probably cause he has a white spot and is not 'show' quality. The b/f ran across three lanes of traffic to save him. He was soooo tiny that his eyes were not even open yet. We have had him for over 5yrs.... what a good boy he is.

You hit the nail on the head. Thats exactly the type of cat I was thinking of. Thanks for the assistance.
You're welcome!! I am kinda the cat lady. I have a houseful. Rescue the abused, mistreated, neglected ones. Take them in, pay the vet bills to get healthy, fixed and all get three vacanations per year. They live here until I find them homes. All the ones that no one else will ever want... missing tails, paws...etc. Will live here forever.
I love cats soooo much. Thru the years, I have had just about every breed of domestic cat known to man.
Don't assume that all cats of a certain breed are friendly. There's no way to tell necessarily. Some cats are nice, some are affectionate, some aren't nice, some aren't affectionate.
If a cat isn't affectionate at the pound, there is little chance it will be at home, because they are usually more affectionate at the pound since they don't get enough attention. In my experience, anyway.

My only concern with getting a cat is that people are going to question a 6'1'' guy getting a cat rather than a dog.
BTW, anyone know if its possible to leash train a kitten so when its older you can take it for a walk? I just wonder how much is nature or nurture in this situation

I must respectfuly disagree with that. Sorry.
Some breeds are known to be friendly, some are known to be aloof.
As far as the whole ... they will be as they are in the pound... cannot agree with that either. Most of the cats that are in the pound are lonely, miserable and traumatized by being locked in a cage for 23 3/4 hours per day. The majority of them that are not friendly in the pound will usually come around once they are home and secure. A little space to call home, a scratch behind the ear in a regular basis and a human for them to own does wonders for a cats temperment.
The staff in the pound are good judges on the small percentage of caged cats that are not friendly. And they will usually not give these cats to ppl who have kids or other animals in the house.

No clue about walking your cat, but there are plenty of normal straight male cat owners...

I'm 6', and have picked up 3 different cats in the last 7 years, and I visit the local shelters whenever possible. Honestly, who gives a sh1t what other people think?
I've seen only a few instances where people were able to walk their cats. Definitely give it a shot, but don't expect it to work. Cats just like to do their own thing.
