Do they seem like they have more interesting fur textures, colors, face shape and floof levels than when we were kids?

i dont think so. i think the sample size is just bigger. you see a lot of cats online and a cat is more likely to be popular online if it's interesting in some way.

Seems fairly likely that cat content also effects what kind of cats people are buying.

yeah and that's often a problem when people think that they need something like a Scottish Fold without knowing how much suffering the cute folded ear mutation causes them because it also causes extreme cases of arthritis.
