All cats make good pets. Non pure breed cats (or mixed) come in short and long hair. DSH or DLH (Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair) come in all sizes, colour patterns and hair length. Some resemble a pure breed and some don't. Most cats are non purebred.
Domestic shorthairs and longhairs make great pet companions but you take a few chances when adopting (or buying) a non purebred kitten. You are not sure how big it will grow, how the hair length will finally be or how his personality will develop. Even coat color can change over time.
Purebred kittens grow into adult cats that we can predict. You usually can see their mother and other cats of the same breed. You know the size, hair color and length and even some of the personality traits. Of course all cats are different (just like with different members of your family) but some breeds are known for being calmer than others, more vocal (or less), more attached to their humans than others.

Many Domestic Shorthairs cats will suit your life style but it's harder to predict which kitten will be the best choice. If your cat's personality (or looks) is on the top of your priorities maybe a pure breed is a safer option. Do you need a very social cat who enjoys a house with frequent visitors and big gatherings? Would a very active cat drive you crazy? Does a cat who meows very often bother you? Knowing more about cat breeds can help you make the best choice.
