YOGYAKARTA There are many assumptions about the cat's personality, ranging from color to complex which are genetically passed down and its development. Based on color stereotypes, the orange tabi cat is more relaxed. This stereotype based on stereotypes compiled in The Cat Fanciers Association, is not completely wrong. But in 2017 research, it has a different view of the cat's personality.

Research conducted by doctor Lauren finka of the University of Lincoln, England, reveals that cats have only five types of personality. This personality develops due to complex interactions, between the genetics of each cat and their experiences during development from childhood to adulthood.

According to research reported by the Daily Mail, Wednesday, November 23, the cat's personality type, among others, the human paint, is a domestic cat that likes to share at home. Second, a hunting cat that has the wildest personality. Third, a cat that is friendly to his fellow cat brothers. Furthermore, the cantankerous personality is more easily frustrated because it is quite sensitive. The fifth cat, the big cat's curiosity, they will sniff out anything and anyone they don't know.

In contrast to the results of research reported in Cat Tracker South Australia: Understanding Pet Cat's Through Citizen Science in 2017. Five cat personalities are skittishness, outgoingness, dominance, spontaneity, and friendliness. The following is the full explanation of the cat's personality reported by PetMD.

Cats with this personality have a high score in certain behaviors. Namely having a hiding place at home that also makes them tend to be restless and easily stressed. If the score is low in level of anxiety, maybe your cat at home can easily adjust well.

The second example is a cat that is friendly and has a high score in utilizing toys and additional playing time. Cats with this personality show signs of aging and health problems as they have low scores to play with.

As you call it, the dominant personality has a dominant character both at home and in the surrounding environment. But on the other hand, the dominant cat can adapt well when at home it has many cats.

The next shot, is a spontaneous cat. They will react to something stressful in their environment. Although they can still adapt to the environment, it requires routines to regulate their health.

A friendly cat, can either adapt to people at home and other animals at home. But this cat is sometimes solitary and may not socialize. If you're not friendly, maybe you're frustrated or sick.
