You are absolutely correct. The exception might be that a Bengal will predictably be more active than a Persian. I'd bet on it. But for the most part each cat is an individual, just like us humans. I had a soft spot for Ragdolls due to their reputation for having such a docile nature. Not always the case . . . as Pam can attest. Gabe (may he rest in peace) was a far cry from the limp-in-your-arms Ragdoll.
