Cats can be quite particular creatures, and pet parents know that their unique personalities can be very different.
Even in the same household, and from the same litter, our furry friends can vary quite a lot when it comes to their individual habits and quirks.
Researchers have found five cat personality types, and find most cats fall into one of the following categories – Neurotic, Extraverted, Dominant, Impulsive or Agreeable.
In this blog: the agreeable cat.
This type is the very definition of a “cool cat”. Super chilled, sociable and with plenty of the laissez-faire attitude that cats are known for.
This agreeable personality is usually the result of proper socialisation as a kitten. However, genetics, such as breed, can play a part as well. Many Ragdoll cats have an agreeable personality.
Top tips for agreeable cats (like you need them!)
Consider expanding the family – Agreeable cats are perfect for multi-cat households, often taking younger cats under their wing and passing on good habits. This type of cat is the ideal role model for newer additions, particularly rescues who can re-learn behaviours much quicker than from humans.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – Whatever you’re doing, it’s working. A well-adjusted cat can provide an endless amount of comfort, care, calm and cuddles. Just know that it’s incredibly rare that a cat will fetch your slippers (though you’re welcome to try).
It is worth noting that most “undesirable” behaviours are just cats expressing their natural behaviours, but perhaps in a place or at a time which isn’t appealing to us as humans!
