Whatever type of cat you do get....my advice is: DON'T get a Siamese. My mother had one for almost a decade and it was THE most unfriendly cat in the history of cats. The only people who were able to pet the blasted thing were my mother, my father ('cause he did most of the cooking at home, so the little tramp of a Siamese would hang around him waiting for food) and me (sometimes). When I brought my wife home (on our honeymoon)---gosh that sounds so 1940s "when I brought the wife home"--anyhow, when she entered my parents apartment the first thing the cat did was hiss at her. The whole two weeks we stayed with my folks the cat would growl & hiss when my wife walked by. Some sort of rivalry going on I guess! Granted it was one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen (those blue eyes..). Still you're better off with a Burmese.
Better yet...buy a chimp and train it to do the household chores, get the groceries and make fun of the NHK man/woman when they come to visit!!
Enjoy the cat (if you get one)
