The five different types of cat personality

[Papergirl1968]

Article in the Mail online (no idea how to link, sorry) says cats fall into one of five personality types - human, hunter, cantankerous, cats' cat and inquisitive.
My boy is human. Not a lap cat but does enjoy snuggling up close in bed, head butts, etc, and adapts very well when we take him to my mom's or on holiday.

Not sure my two fit into any of those categories! They are gorgeous and affectionate but are very thick!

[Wolfiefan]

No cats are:
Thugs
Tarts
Playful pussies
Lazy slobs
Commanders of all they survey

[Chinnygirl]

I have one normal cat and one jealous slut.

[ATailofTwoKitties]

Mine thinks it's a dog and falls out of trees.

Leroy is just Leroy tbh. Utterly bonkers. (Yes he is is trying to get out of the letterbox.)

[TrustySnail]

One shy but affectionate, one major attention-seeker! The attention-seeker had her annual boosters today, and was parading up and down the vet's table like a fashion model .

[TrustySnail]

YesItsMe ha ha, that's hilarious! Does he think it's a very narrow cat flap? He's got a beautiful coat, btw.

[ememem84]

yes what a puffy tail!!!

My girls def part human part hunter. All the head butts and nuzzles and snuggles in the world. Then bam. Bites your hand.

I have a cantankerous old gent and a batshit clumsy girl, she is nuts I swear, and wrecks everything, this month alone we've lost a mosaic bath ornament, and soap dispenser, a 34 inch flat screen, 3 glasses and a bowl, almost lost the laptop owing to her spilling a glass of water near it, and has chipped the side of it by knocking it of the table...it was teetering anyway.

[PutDownThatLaptop]

Oh dear, just read it. I have a Cantankerous Cat, but I wanted a Human Cat.

I have a ginger human, a black and white cats cat and a black hunter :)

[YesItsMeIDontCare]

I've (finally) found the article and can safely say that Leroy is a little bit of all of them... with a hefty dose of Wolfiefan's "Commander of All He Surveys".

Bonkers.

[bythewatersedge]

Can you link? :)

[YesItsMeIDontCare]

I can't link... sorry.

[TrustySnail]

Here is a link.

My 3 are combinations of the 5 personalities. I have one who's a prolific hunter, one who can be cantankerous and one who's a little bit of a cat's cat.

[Weedsnseeds1]

I think mine's mainly a human cat, with a hefty dose of hunter thrown in!

[OliviaStabler]

Missed one. Scardy cat. That's mine. I happen to speak to my neighbour while letting myself in the house she is under the bed

[Quodlibet]

Mine is a git.

[Papergirl1968]

Loving that pic of poor Leroy!

[Trustyourself2]

Weeds - hilarious.

[AmberNectarine]

I've got one and his personality type is Bellend.

[AmberNectarine]

Also, Leroy is a splendid name. This is Denzel.

[RubbishMantra]

I don't think mine fall into a particular box. MCat happy and purry, until you move a toe or breathe, or he changes his mind and decides he hates everything. Sometimes he'll parent Little M, and groom him like a mum cat would.

Little M - well he's a species all of his own. Probably part alien and very trusting child with no idea of danger, bouncing through life on the assumption that everybody loves peculiar semi-bald cats with ringlets. And he pokes me until I lift the duvet up, so he can sleep under the covers, head on pillow like a yooman bean.
