What Is Your Favorite Cat Breed?

I grew up with two beautiful Siamese cats, one blue point, one seal point. I always thought I would look for a Siamese for my own children but our family cats have been mixed breed kitties we inherited from other families. One was part Siamese but was white with Spots on him, our current kitty is a typical tabby of unknown origins but with a lovely temperament. What is your favorite cat breed? Are you a fan of long haired Persians or do you prefer something a little different? I have enjoyed finding out about various breeds and their origins in preparing a series of "Loved By My Cat" t-shirts like this one:
