Take the Cat Personality Test

[kittycats_delight]

I found this on another forum I frequent. It is quite cute. And it hit Vixen pretty well perfectly.

Vixen's Results. I still have to do the others. I will add them as I do the quiz.

THE CAT'S CARESS

Involved Tender Precocious Sleeper

The Cat’s Caress doesn’t need to come running into your lap to get her daily (or hourly, or momentarily-about-to-happen -while-you-take-this-quiz) dose of stroking and love; she just has to sit where she is and look at you with those eyes of hers. It’s over. You will stand up, even missing the climax of that movie you rented especially for tonight, and you’ll walk over, pick her up, and bring her back to the couch with you. That’s how confounded cute she is.

Your cat may not seem like she is warming up to strangers at first, but if they don’t shortcut the process by picking her up themselves (and thereby discovering how friendly she is), she well eventually get up, walk over, and start rubbing up against their legs until they acknowledge her. And remember—for the Cat’s Caress, to acknowledge is to pet until she purrs.

With this great love she has of people, if you’ve managed to train her as an outdoors cat, you’ve done pretty well. She will of course always see that as home, but she’ll catch on quickly that the love and contact come from being inside. That’s where the people are, and that’s where the interesting things are, too. That’s right—you, and your friends, and your neighbors are not her only interest. She is a curious cat, and will sometimes get into things you’d rather she didn’t. It won’t ever be anything too outlandish, though, and besides, she’ll just give you that look and want you to carry her around all day anyway.

She tends to come to you when she’s low on food—and she’ll eat almost anything you give her—but if she comes and she complains, you know it’s more a health issue than just hunger. You’ll get to know her and love her quickly, and you’ll find that when you stroke her, you get every ounce of love right back. That’s why she’s the Cat’s Caress.

THE COZY CAT


Involved Tender Precocious Sleeper


Just like how the steam curls up from your mug of hot cocoa, your cat, the Cozy Cat, curls up from the floor and onto the sofa to wrap himself around your waist, lap, arm, leg, or whatever else he can. He doesn’t care who you are, he just wants to sidle in and saddle up. He loves to love and be loved.

Even when he’s wrapped up beside you, though, he won’t entirely give up ranging his gaze over the whole room. He’s a very smart cat, and while he may not ever get the urge to swat at the fly or pounce on the mouse, he gets endless pleasure from watching where it goes. This sort of impartial observation carries over into the way he reads people. He reads your moods best, because you’re the owner, but he also is good at reading how you react to other people. He’ll probably react the same. If you don’t like your mother-in-law, then he might not warm up to her as quickly as, say, the mailman.

The Cozy Cat will come to eat almost the instant you refill his food and water, but that reaction is motivated more so he can be with you than so he can eat quickly. Some owners might find it annoying the way that they can never quite shake their feline shadow, but just remember that if he ever stops following you around, you know something’s wrong. Usually he won’t do a great deal of following, anyway; it’s more of joining. If you’re wandering around cleaning the house or getting ready for work, he won’t be at your heels—but the instant you sit down for a quick bite of toast and a glance at the headlines, he’ll be sprawled on your feet. What a loveable, adorable cat.

THE LIONESS

If you watch the Discovery Channel, you know exactly what the Lioness is not. She is not the female lion in the pride, the one who does all the grunt work and gets none of the glory—she is the female manifestation of the lion, the boss of the pride. She sits in her place and, though easily capable of taking down a full-grown water buffalo (and we’re only kidding a little when we say that about your cat), she will consent to eating from the bowl of food you put out. As long as it tastes like meat, or at least gets supplemented with the real thing now and again, she won’t complain.

The Lioness tolerates you, and the more she senses your respect for her, the more her tolerance becomes an uneasy sort of friendship. She was probably the cat to swipe at you whenever you tried to pet her; eventually, she’ll only be the cat that swipes at everybody else who tries to pet her. Time is the crucial ingredient in winning her over, so no matter how nice your second cousin from Maine happens to be, if she only visits you once a year she’ll be leaving with claw marks in the same place every time.

Your cat isn’t likely to pull a disappearing act and vanish outdoors, unless you raised her out there. She tends to prefer carpets and couches to dirt and trees, and is more likely to manifest her disinterest in social interaction through simply staying put. There are a couple of spots around the house where she likes to set up camp, and they’re usually very strategically viable (windowsills, doorways, on top of large pieces of furniture, etc). With being so above the world and so keenly invested in keeping it at claw’s length, you’ll know she needs some attention whenever that bubble shrinks. She’s smart enough not to fight you back if she’s sick, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be any nicer. The Lioness, after all, had an uncle who actually did take down a full-grown water buffalo—and if you don’t ask how distantly related the uncle is, she doesn’t have to come at you with her claws. She can focus on giving you respect instead.

Vega's Results. So far only Vega and Vixen's are alike. Vega & Vixen do tend to be similar in many ways. Only Bella left. :p

THE QUIET KITTY


Aloof Tender Precocious Sleeper

If your cat were a poet, she would write sonnets as she sat in the windowsill by the vase of red roses. She has some very tender feelings—she just isn’t a big fan of showing them. She likes to create an atmosphere of home in whatever spot in the house (or outside—she will probably gravitate indoors, but would also do as an outdoors cat) she chooses. She sits down and enters her own little feline world. She usually doesn’t mind if you come up to her for petting and stroking, but she’s really not a big fan of coming to you. That said, if you picked her up and carried her back to the couch, it’s doubtful that she’d run away. Half of her would be appreciative of the chance to get in some petting, and the other half would be too busy watching everything else going on.

The Quiet Kitty reads people well. She likes you because, well, you like her (and you provide the food—she doesn’t mind what kind, as long as it’s always there), but she won’t be so quick to warm up for others. She can usually sense people that are superficial, especially if they don’t have a deep, abiding love of all things cat. She doesn’t like those people. She won’t protest when they pet her, but she might get up and move if it goes on for too long. It takes a lot to irritate her—except for when the food runs low.

Your cat will complain, loudly, if she’s sick. That’s an unpleasant enough disturbance to her world to merit some vocalization. She won’t idly whine, though; she’ll wait until she’s got at least half of your attention before trying to call the rest. Check her out, maybe take her to the vet if she needs it, but outside of that, she’s pretty comfortable with living life the way she lives it. Don’t ever forget her, but don’t over-pet her, either. She’s the Quiet Kitty, beautiful and composed by the roses in the windowsill.

I have to say overall these pretty well nail all the kitties. The only one that was somewhat off was Frost. I think it is a cute quiz but a bit long. I hope some of you enjoy it. :)
