My Dixie made her own standard also. She was brought up with 2 maine coon females. So she has tried to act like them at times. And she can become angry at another cat in my lap. She will fuss and swat at them till they move. But she has never growled at another cat just a fussing or is it a cussing out till the others listen to her. But she just purrs and purrs and purrs when in my lap or laying beside me. When we have kittens here they love to be near her because of the purring. She will let them lay there for awhile till they get playing and wrestling around then she will fuss at them and swat at them and they will run away but she is purring the whole time.
