I love cats, to me they make a home. After a 10 year hiatus due to renting I can FINALLY get one again. DP is a dog person, and pretends that he hates cats, and that they're claw-y viscous beasts they are but he forgot the floofyness
Long story short. He's willing to compromise and let me get a cat, but will only consider a Maine Coon. Mainly because he googled them likes the way they look and their supposed dog-like tendencies.
I'm strictly an 'adopt don't shop' animal owner. The concept of buying a specially bred pet based on their looks feels a bit wrong tbh, and that's before you start to look at the prices people pay 
and the upkeep they require. Gimmie a mog any day, frankly!
I find it a bit unfair that he's placing these restrictions on one of the few things that I insist on within the home. For ref he has quite an imposing and time demanding hobby, that I've always supported and he works long hours. I've said that I'd take full care and responsibility for the cat, and when I pointed out that a MC needs more care (e.g. grooming) he said he wouldn't be willing to help, it's just the only cat he'll allow.
AIBU? Would love to hear from both sides - adopters and breeders
