PicklePig is definitely a Human Cat - no1. He has to be lying on top of me if at all possible

No - DCat 1 is basically stupid. He thinks he is a person and solicits attention from strangers. He is the alpha cat despite being very little and a terrible fighter.

DCat 2 is as loyal to me as any dog would be, and very affectionate. He is smart, used to be a hunter back in his prime and you would still back him in a fight (except against DCat 1, who is the boss). He avoids strangers wherever possible

None of these descriptions really fit them

My Cookie is a total human cat!

Boy cat is a hunter cat. He prefers solitude but occasionally will sit NEXT to us on the sofa. Just not on us. He does like playing with the other cats and the toys.

Girl cat 1 is a cantankerous cat although a bit human too. Mainly she snoozes all day on the sofa in the conservatory and gives looks of disdain if anyone disturbs her.

Girl cat 2 is definitely inquisitive cat! We call her supervisor cat because she is always sticking her nose into whatever we are doing. She's hilarious.

Girl cat 3 is part human cat, part cat cat and part hunter cat. She loves to play and tries to lick the other cats but they don't let her. So she lays on me at night and licks my face instead.

I love that our cats all have different personalities. Favourite time of the day is about 9.30pm when three of them start 'play time' which involves thundering about the house like elephants chasing each other.

I had a beautiful cat who I used to call the building inspector. He always appeared when building work was going on and was very vocal about it. I miss him so much.

Mine is a cantankerous hunter 99.9% of the time.

But without fail manages to use the 0.01% to lull us into putting our flesh near here with cute snuffling and cuddly wriggles. Right before she sinks her teeth and claws into said flesh....

Want2beme · 05/05/2017 16:51

Shots ouch!

1 and 2 combo here, with a few extra quirks. Maybe a type 6?

CMOTDibbler · 05/05/2017 20:43

Shots, evilgingercat is like that too. In fact he specialises in rolling around outside the house looking cute in order to get people to fuss him and then bites them.

My other doesn't fit into any of the categories really

My youngest cat is definitely a human cat. He's very affectionate and follows me around the house. He has to have kisses when I get home from work.
The older cat I swear is autistic. She hates other cats, but can be quite cuddly with me. She tolerates the younger cat, but growls and hisses at him if he gets too close. He doesn't care, and delights in pouncing on her when they've been apart for a while. She gets into fights with the local cats, even though she's tiny.
