Feline personalities

From Felipedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Like people, cats have different personalities that are expressions of their inherent behaviour. Scientifically, these are categorized as either: alert: how active and curious is the cat? social: how amenable is the cat to interactions with other cats and people? equable: how even-tempered is the cat?

A cat that is very alert, sociable, and equable might be something like the classical Maine Coon. A cat with a low score on alertness, sociability, and equability would be a real problem cat to have in a home, especially with other cats.
