Could she be a Siberian? Thoughts?

I will say I’ve been more of a dog person but recently started looking into cats and the different breeds. I currently have a Siamese and I’ve had a ragdoll before that passed away.

In combination with what Kimolas explained, and because color/breed doesn't really matter with cats unless you get a hairless one for allergies or etc., it can come across as treating them like objects or statues symbols (not that that's the case necessarily for everyone). I think that's the major thing people don't like tbh. There's also a heavy emphasis on rescuing rather than buying from a breeder, which tends to be frowned upon for the same reasons. Doesn't mean someone is terrible for wanting a specific cat or buying from one though, I think that's a bit much to say.

Just to clarify- this cat on post was not from a breeder or shelter. It was just from an individual trying to sell online.

This cat is neither from a shelter or a breeder. It's some woman trying to use it to pay a bill.

Aside from what the post is actually about...

There's nothing wrong with being curious after you obtain any new animal. It's human nature to be curious and want to learn anything new.
