I am not much help, but congrats on getting a cat.

Years ago, we had a long hair black cat w/ the biggets eyes you have ever seen. I can't remember what she was now and I don't have any of her paperwork anymore (told you I wouldn't be much help). Anyway, she didn't shed....she was more like a long haired dog......her hair was always a shiny, silky like Yorkie hair and we might find one long strand every now and then, but that was it. She was mean though.....boy, was she mean! That was the only cat that we ever had that didn't bother our allergies!

She also liked to hunt outside....she would bring in birds, baby bunnies, etc....to show us! YUCK! But she was an inside cat. She was never matted or the dry looking hair and we never had to do anything special to keep it shiny and long and perfect looking.

We rehomed her when we got Mojo because she was huge and mean and to be honest, we didn't trust her w/ him.........I don't think it was that breed of cat (I hope I can think of it) but more of how she was rasied.......we got her when she was several years old. Let me run downstairs and then I will post a picture and maybe someone can tell what she was. When we rehomed her, the new owners got all of her stuff and her "file" - yes, we have a file for all of our animals, pretty much have too, ya know?! So, we no longer have the paperwork about her. Give me a minute and then I will post a picture!
