1. Independent
Cats enjoy their alone time and often entertain themselves. They don't constantly seek attention like some other pets.
2. Curious
They love to explore their environment and investigate new things. You'll often find them climbing, sniffing, or pawing at something unfamiliar.
3. Affectionate (on their terms)
While they may seem aloof, many cats enjoy cuddling, purring on your lap, and following you aroundβbut only when they feel like it!
4. Territorial
Cats are very aware of their space. They may rub their scent on furniture (or you) to mark their territory.
5. Playful
Especially when young, cats love to chase, pounce, and play with toys, strings, or even your fingers.
6. Clean
They spend a large portion of their day grooming themselves and keeping their fur clean.
7. Observant
Cats notice everything. They watch quietly, pick up on small movements, and can seem like little silent spies.
8. Moody
Their mood can change quicklyβfrom sweet and cuddly to aloof or grumpy. Learning your catβs signals is key.
