Happy Sunday, Cats.com community!
One of my cats is a quiet cuddle bug, while the other is extremely vocal and outgoing. It’s taken me some time, but I know my cats pretty well by now—well enough to predict how they’ll respond in certain situations and what they need from me. No two cats are alike and it’s important to understand your cat’s personality to better meet their needs.
In this Sunday’s mailer, we’ll talk about common cat personality types and what you can do as a cat owner to respect your cat as an individual. And read to the end to learn about this week’s cat in need, Domingo! |

The Story: Understanding Your Cat’s Personality Type
Some cats are confident and outgoing, always up for an adventure. Others are more reserved, preferring the company of their favorite human over making new friends. Every cat is an individual but, as with humans, feline personality traits tend to fall into a few distinct categories.
Knowing your cat’s personality type helps you better understand their needs so you can provide the kind of life that helps them thrive.
Here are a few examples of how different cat personality types might show up:
- The “human cat” prefers to share space with their favorite person (or people) over other pets. These cats often love to cuddle or just stay nearby.
- Cats with neurotic personalities tend to be anxious, shy, or even fearful of humans. Personal space is important in helping these cats feel safe and secure.
- The “cat’s cat” loves to make feline friends. These cats are very social with other cats and can become closely bonded.
- Cats with dominant personalities can be challenging in multi-pet households, often hogging resources like food, toys, and even litter boxes.
- The “inquisitive cat” is unpredictable because they’re driven by curiosity. These cats are the type to act first and ask questions later.

Spending time with your cat is essential for getting to know their personality and forming a strong bond. The better you know your cat, the more you can tailor their routine and environment to meet their needs.
Daily play sessions are a great opportunity to interact with your cat and to learn how they respond in different situations. Pay attention to your cat’s day-to-day behavior for clues about their personality type and how to honor it. If they’re the strong, silent type, they might enjoy an extra cozy bed. If they’re always looking for adventure, they might like some interactive toys.
When you understand your cat’s personality, you can make more informed choices when it comes to things like toys, treats, and playtime activities. Read on for some ideas. |

This Week’s Cat In Need: Domingo
|
|
Domingo is the perfect gentleman, and he certainly looks the part with his tuxedo-like coloring. This 4-year-old cat currently lives in foster care near New York City.
There’s a lot to love about Domingo. He’s sweet, playful, and impeccably polite. Your furniture will be safe with this guy around—he knows what a scratching post is for and he isn’t afraid to use it. He’s also generous with affection, so you’ll enjoy plenty of lap time and massages.
Domingo is a healthy and thriving young man but his FIV-positive status has caused him to be overlooked for the past year. Could you be the one to change his luck? All he needs is a low-stress home and regular veterinary checkups.
