I have a couple of cats, but they're pretty shy. Are you a cat or dog person?
Yes i have 1 house cat and he is lovely. They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets
My cats are house cats. Though we do have one stray that visits every now and then. 
Cats are so interesting more than people give them credit for. There are more than seventy cat breeds recognized. 
No kidding! I never would have guessed there were that many breeds. One of my cats is a Siamese.

The Siamese cat is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Asian cat. Derived from the Wichianmat landrace, one of several varieties of cat native to Thailand (formerly known as Siam), the Siamese became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America in the 19th century. The carefully refined modern Siamese is characterized by blue almond-shaped eyes; a triangular head shape; large ears; an elongated, slender, and muscular body; and point colouration (aside from the colouration, it
of modern house cats). Cheetahs have also been kept throughout the world, both as companions and as hunting aides. Caracals have also been tamed and trained, primarily by Arabian and Asian rulers. Other large cats sometimes were also kept as companions, but were mostly limited to menageries owned by royal families.
Species kept as exotic pets.
In general, small cat species are more commonly kept as exotic pets than larger ones. Big cats are substantially more expensive to maintain, pose a greater danger when being handled
