Girl and cat
Every feline possesses its own distinct personality, just as people do.
More Information
Reading Your Cat
Every feline possesses its own distinct personality, just as people do. Even purebred cats of breeds known for a certain character profile don't always match the description. Your Siamese may not be as boisterous as the majority of his relatives; your British shorthair, a breed known for its calm and self-possessed manner, may be quite skittish. But like a bonding parent who learns to read the subtle body nuances of a newborn, you can become attuned to your cat's temperament and idiosyncrasies, making for a more harmonious relationship.

By understanding how cats communicate with us, and other animals, we can help to foster a safe environment and prevent dangerous miscommunications.
