I've had three since my early childhood, all of them either died or went missing, and I don't feel like getting a new one at least at this point (even less a dog), as I don't want the extra stress of taking care of it.
I have absolutely no idea what breed, if any, they were. They were cats, quite normal looking cats. None of those extra hairy furballs, or no hair but a wrinkled body, or flat faced cats without a nose either. Just cats, you know. Nothing was paid for them, in fact I was even asked to take care of the second cat by someone who didn't have energy to take care of it (= my big sister).
The first one was completely black (and had a broken tail which just dragged behind as long as I remember, if felt odd to me to see other cats with their tails up erect or moving around), and the other two cats were probably grey with some white and black.
When the third one went missing, I vowed not to get another one. Let's see if I want a new one when I am an old pensioner with too much free time, but I think I just rather play computer games then.
Anyway, what was way cooler was that friend of mine who had a pet wolf (originally born and raised in some wolf kennel I think). And a completely white wolf, to boot. It didn't get along with dogs though (and was quite afraid of new people too, it took ages before it became relaxed with me), no idea if he could keep it since he lived in a city where you tend to see lots of dogs.
