How Do Our Cats Reflect Our Own Personalities?

Could it be that the animals that live with us are just like us?

How Do Our Cats Reflect Our Own Personalities?
Katie Gray


This cat, Luna, is sleeping peacefully and seems to be a simple adornment to the couch, but she is actually quite a people cat. Anyone who enters the house will be greeted by her and required to hold her in their lap and give her much undivided attention. She is content to sit with someone and wag her tail as she purrs and rubs her head on your hand for some added love. She hardly ever sleeps alone and often meows for attention.

I know people who are similar, wanting to feel loved and to receive attention almost always; people who often talk and share ideas and dreams, looking for hugs and support and most of all ... attention.

Next there is the cat on the cover image, Tiger. She is a menace, a terror, and also a sweetheart. She is something of a mess, young, strong and active. She is the one to tear something apart in the house and to start a play fight with the older cats. She is the only one who roams around outside daily and even sometimes sleeps outside. She is often caught out in a rain storm or the cold. When she returns, though, she is loving and purrs alot. She shows up at the door after a day out roaming and is then content to be calm and rest with her beloved humans.

I am like this cat. I can be calm and still for quite some time. But there will come a moment when I must go out and explore. I often search for an outdoor activity or an interesting event to spark up my days, and I am sure to work only part-time jobs in order to have the freedom to move around and freelance also. Adventure and newness is more important than comfort and stability for me.

This cat is also a bit dodgy with the love. She will come close when she wants attention and to give her time and cuddles, but when she does not want that, beware! She will bite gently to let you know she is not in the mood. She stays close at night, but not on top of us. She curls up at our feet in bed and makes sure we know she is there, but without demanding constant petting.


This third cat is the most consistent of all. She is quite needy, stays in one room of the house almost always and any time someone comes near she will meow and ask for petting. She will be happy in any moment as long as she is near someone and she purrs constantly. Even if she is sleeping, she will wake easily and request attention. Do you know anyone like that? My three cats have very different personalities, but that is just it ... they have people personalities. I can relate to one of mine, and I know people who remind me of the other two. Take a look at the animals in your life. Can you relate?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
