Adopting a cat may seem easy as there are so many waiting for a new home, but did you know that their personalities differ slightly from breed to breed? All cats are sassy and all cats will want to love you when you're in the bathroom or on an important phone call, or even when you're in a deep sleep at 4 a.m.
The next time you visit the animal shelter, make sure you've read up on personality traits of common cat breeds that you can expect to see when you visit.
Check out these following fluffballs and see which one you match with!
1. Charles
Charles is a Persian kitty. He spends his day lounging on the window sill and watching the birds fly by. He enjoys watching Planet Earth and Chef's Table on Netflix as he is a peaceful and quiet man. When his owner gets home from work, he meows once and only once to remind them he loves them but mostly because he's ready to be fed his grain-free salmon formula cat food.
2. Samuel
Samuel is a shorthair Ocicat breed. Each spot on his furry body represents each 5k marathon he has run in his Brooklyn apartment. Since Sam is pretty athletic, he likes to join his owner at the gym where he concentrates on his biceps. Sam likes to look good for the ladies, or men. His owner still doesn't know what type of fluff he gravitates toward. If an active and social kitty is for you, then check out the Ocicat life.
3. Delilah
Delilah is a ragdoll cat who spends her days napping on the couch and playing with her toys while lying down. Because she's not the most active kitty, she likes to show her affection by laying on top of her owner's face while they are trying to sleep. Sometimes she does this so that she can be fed her special chicken formula breakfast at her favorite breakfast time, 5 a.m. If you're looking for a cat that prefers napping over anything else, then Delilah might just be the right cat for you.
4. Luna
Luna is a Siamese cat who expresses her many needs with an abundance of meows. When she's hungry, she will follow you around, meowing until there is food in her bowl. After her freshly prepared shrimp formula feast, she will insist on finding a spot on your body to lay and purr, even if you're standing. She's a sassy bundle of hair but with enough bonding, she can become your best friend.
5. Emily
Emily is a British Shorthair kitty who enjoys being around people. Whenever her owner has guests over, she shows her appreciation by rubbing her chubby body on every human she can. She makes up for the lack of meowing with an overload of purring. Sometimes, her owner uses her as a white noise machine when she has trouble falling asleep at night. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, consider adopting an Emily.
Whether you're a Delilah or a Samuel, or even an Emily, it's important to read up on cat breeds so you can find the right match for you.
