Cats are funny, in that temperament and behavior isn't "breed specific" as it is in dogs. Unlike dog breeds, that were created for specific form and function, cat breeds were created just for appearance. To be completely honest you can find exactly what you want in a cat, temperament wise, if you adopt a rescue of unknown parentage. I've known incredibly vocal, outgoing, gregarious, and chatty cats that were not Siamese but were of unknown parentage. I've met leash trained, therapy cats that were originally stray barn cats.

Unless you like a certain 'look" , I would never say it's best to get a purebred cat. They have a lot more health problems than even purebred dogs do, from what I have seen.

Some cats are bred for more of a specific temperament,Ragdolls are called that because they are floppy when you pick them up and very mild tempered.
Working/sporting temperament is not seen in cats,but dogs can range a bit in temperament as well,their not all the same.
