    As far as what? I've had both. I show cats and most of my cats have been purebreds but I've had several household domestic cats too. My first and very special cat was a blue mackerel tabby & white domestic. His name was Mitten cause he had 4 white feet.

    Unless you want a show cat or you have a need for a specific breed, then most people choose domestics to own. Nothing wrong with wanting a purebred vs a domestic.

    Unless your planning to spend thousands and thousands to show your cats at an pet show to get a two dollar ribbon, get one from a shelter. mixed breeds tend to have a gentler disposition.

    Unless you are planning on showing or breeding, there is no reason to get a pedigree cat unless you want a specific breed. If you just want a cat, go to a shelter and adopt. If you want a cat that has the traits and personality you are looking for, go to a reputable breeder and purchase a kitten.

    Good points, bad points?

    Pedigrees are specially bred catsa while domestics are mostly local feral cats which have been tamed.

    What's the question?

    Pedigree is just more expensive than domestic.
