Cat Breeds

[jenluckenbach]

I would have to say that breeds (and color/patterns) tend to have similar personalities, just like dog breeds. You are likely to find a particular trait within a particular breed. But with that said, each and every cat WILL differ. Nothing is a guarentee.

I asked about cat personalities because Stripe and little Stripe the kitten act alike. I don't know if it's because they are both striped or because as I said Stripe is little Stripe's father.
All my cats have different personalities too.
Buttermilk is the babysitter - last nite he had two of the kittens up by him, giving them a bath and taking good care of them. He does not like being held.
Monster and Mollie June are the timid ones. They don't like leaving home and are very scared when they have to.
Farmboy & Stripe are the cuddly babies.
Maggie is just aloof. The world is on her terms.


I love them all though.

It probably has a lot to do with genetics and how they are raised/their environment

I recently found this article on Messy Beast and thought it was really cool...

Is Coat Color Linked to Temperament?

I have four kitties, and each of them are very unique. According to that article, this is what describes my four.

Amadeus

Red Tabby

Quiet, docile and affectionate; excellent ratters and mousers.

Sebastian

Brown Tabby

Quiet, courteous, docile and faithful, but at the same time were hardy and courageous.

Theodore

Black Shorthair

Clown-like delight in "entertaining its owner with gymnastic tricks and enthusiastic affection".

Augustus

Colorpoint

Gentle, spirited but not demonstrative.

My Siamese is very loving, more to me than my husband. He is also very smart!
