You probably chose your cat based on feeling: maybe because you fell for its appearance, its character, or simply because it was love at first sight. But did you know that choice also says something about you? This blog won't be a horoscope story, nor dry scientific material. We combine what is generally known about cat behavior with insights into how we (often unconsciously) choose our pet. Research shows that the breed sometimes influences the character, but upbringing, environment, and interaction also play a big role. And the fun part? You often see that reflected in your cat.
