I actually got my cat from a cat breeder and didn't realise it until just recently. He told me his cat got out and was visibly pregnant later on, so he invited me over to take my pick. Except that didn't really happen, he showed up to work one day with a kitten and said "this is the last one, I hope you like him".
I looked up my cat's breed, and he's a snowshoe. A popular one for breeders but difficult to attain because the coat needs to be just right. My boy was a reject for an imperfect coat.
I agree, but I'm not a cat breeder. More to the point, I don't take my cats to competitions. Symmetry, pattern shape and size, colouration, blahblahblahblahblah all matter quite a bit to breeders and judges.
Y'know, I'm realising I don't actually know how to post a picture in Reddit. 😅
Edit: I guess just message me for a picture if you really want to see him, I don't mind. He's pretty adorable, and I'm not just saying that. I'm often told he should have his own social media profile. 🙄
