I have a grey/cream stripped tabby cat and I didn't get her because I wanted a unique looking cat. If I wanted to show off, I'd go and buy an expensive purebred from some breeder. But I didn't get her because of what she looked like. I went to the humane shelter to adopt a cat. When I got there, I immediately saw a tiny female tabby-stripped kitten all alone in its cage, only about 5 weeks old. Her eyes were all gooked over, she had a hard time breathing, and they were giving her hard food that she couldn't eat. When I told the man working there that I wanted her, he told me to pick out a different cat because that one would probably die in about a week. I took her home anyway, took her to the vet, got her medicine, and nursed her back to health. She's five years old now and is healthy and happy. She's a runt, so her nose is really small, but I think that just makes her more adorable.
tl;dr- PETS ARE NOT OBJECTS. You get them to LOVE them, not to flaunt them about like a gucci bag.
