Did you know that just like humans, cats also have general personality traits called the ‘Feline Five’? Sounds like the ‘Big Five’ isn’t it?
If you are a cat lover, this news is not a big deal but did you know the 5 specific FURsonalities we’re talking about?
Well, here they are!
The Skittish
These are the cats who are timid and always suspicious, especially with strangers. Staying somewhere where they can be unnoticed is their comfort place.
They shy away and would rather avoid confrontations from other felines or pets.
As insecure by nature and timid, you want to make sure that they have their own space where they can comfortably stay.
The Boss
These cats are territorial and bossy. They don’t like sharing territories, food and toys with other felines and pets.
The boss cats are dominant and are not afraid to show it. They are prone to getting to a fight as they have the tendency to claim other feline food and stuff.
When you have this type of cat, make sure that you give them separate bowls for their food, their own space, and stuff.
The Adventuresome
These cats are outgoing and sociable. They love roaming around the neighborhood, wandering, and socializing with everybody.
They are always curious, playful, and fun to be around. However, being adventurous as they are, they may not be easy to simply contain in a single area as wandering is their nature.
They are the type of felines that you only see when it’s feeding time and they spend all of their time outside making friends and doing their own adventures.
The Eccentric
These felines are quite unpredictable. They are playful and energetic at one time and then anxious at the other. They have erratic behavior and impulsive reacting to differently to situations usually because of stressful environments.
When you have eccentric felines make sure that you keep them in comfort removing anything disturbing to them. Putting together a comfortable space, fixed routine for mealtime, and playtime can also help them stay happy.
The best friend
These cats are friendly ones. They love everyone who pets them and would not bother having other cats or pets around them. They are very sociable and loves to friend everyone.
They don’t show dominance or frustration even in a disturbing environment.
These cats are perfect for families with children, multi-cat, and other pets.
