The Calm, Cool And Collected Cat
My cat Kohl was always calm and cool. He was even-tempered and had a pleasing personality. He was never moody, and he loved anyone who would come to our house. He would greet the visitor and wait for them to take notice of them, and after he got their attention, he would wait for them to pat him or hold him. He got along fine with any cat and never fought with them. My cat Garfunkel is like that most of the time unless one of my cats nips at him, and then he will return the favor. Addi, one of my next-door cats, never lets any cat upset her as she gets along well with everyone. If your cat’s parents were calm, cool, and collected, most likely, the kittens would also be unless they were feral at some point in their lives.
The Touch Me Not Cats
I have had some of my cats next door for over ten years, and they still do not like to be touched or held. Their father was an outdoor Tom, and their mother was standoffish until she turned 14 and was very loving. It takes quite a while for a feral cat to trust you. Once they do, they are very affectionate cats. You have no idea of what your feral cat may have gone through in their life, as perhaps their owner dumped them or mistreated them. Be very patient and understanding with them. Some cats will not want to be held unless it is on their terms.
Moody Cats
I have had cats be very loving one minute, and the next minute, they will jump up and try to bite me. I think it is because they wanted outdoors, wanted something that they were not receiving, or were just plain jealous of the other cats in the household. I have had moody males and female cats, but on the whole, the females are more moody. It never works to have two alpha female cats in the same household, as they will not let one overpower the other without a lot of hissy fits. It will end up with one of them keeping the other female cat away from you with very well-planned tactics on their part. One cat may break something, but they ensure the other cat stands by the broken object. One day, I caught them in the act, and the cat causing the trouble looked at me like you’re not supposed to see this because I am a little angel.
Timid Cats
Some of my cats are very timid. When they are around me, they may come out or hide. If someone comes to visit, they will hide on top of a cupboard or stay in a heated cat building in the house, etc.
Power Hungry Cats
Winchester and Peter rule the house next door. They stand on guard duty by a window and put Faith in charge when they want to get down for a while. Winchester convinced Faith to rip open a cat treat bag with her claws. After she had done this, he tried to eat, all while I was not looking. I love all of my cats regardless of their personalities. Life would be boring if we all had the same personality type.
