All 3 of my babies have very different personalities - I've often thought that the only things they have in common are that they are all happy and healthy which are, of course, all that I could ask for.
Trixie is pretty much a loner and could probably do without the other two, especially Jazz. When company comes, she disappears under the bed or some dark corner. She will often shy away from contact but actually enjoys being petted, as long as all four feet are on the floor. Trixie is very wary and will move slowly and carefully as if anticipating the need for a quick getaway. She rarely purrs - usually only doing so when she is in the mood to nurse my hand.
Bo is a good ol' Southern boy, as his name implies , and spends much of his time with his belly in the air making loving, trilling sounds (which translate into "Love me, rub my belly, I'm irresistable!") His deep purr runs non-stop. Bo has to sniff and smell everything - his nose twitches constantly like a rabbit's. I'd swear he's part bloodhound.
Eight-month-old Jazz is my only lap cat (thank God for her!) and is always in "play mode." She's a toy hog, much to Trixie's annoyance. She's also my bed buddy, having usurped Trixie from that position when she moved in. She's very high energy and playful - time will tell if that remains the case as she grows older.
All in all, my three kitties give me EVERYTHING I could possibly ask for. They are dearly loved and my best friends.
