ESFP "The Hedonist": The
social cat. Inside, outside, contact-oriented. Wallows in petting.
Lies in the sun on the driveway. Promiscuously affectionate, even
with cat-haters. Meows a lot.
ESTP "The Tomcat":
Comes back after three days with scabs on his nose and ears. Fathered
too many kittens to count. Will enjoy you while he's there, but
not loyal. With other cats, doesn't know when to stop "playing".
ISFP "The Snuggler":
Inside lap kitty. Has a favorite lap, a favorite windowsill, but
spreads her favors around nonetheless. Warm and loving, but don't
try to make her do anything. Purrs a lot.
ISTP "The Problem-Solver":
This is the cat that will figure out how to get the giblets out
of the bottom of the garbage can without knocking anything over.
Appreciates his pleasures but not a glutton. Stand-offish, but
will put up with an occasional petting session.
ESTJ "Bossycat":
A cat with attitude. He'll hiss at a German shepherd, and the
dog will back down. Knows his territory. Catches lots of birds
to show he cares, since he won't be openly affectionate.
ESFJ "Mommycat":
Even if kittenless or male, adopts everyone, including her "owners".
Will groom you until you've got a rash; will groom other cats
until they snap at her and run away.
ISTJ "Mr. Fastidious":
Won't eat unless the kitchen floor is newly waxed. Will glare
at you until you clean his litterbox. Likes to scratch--and it's
the same place over and over, so you'd better get a scratching
post right away if you want to keep your furniture.
ISFJ "Spoiled
Cat": Only the best will do. This is the cat in the "Sheba"
ads. Will sink into a depression if you forget to trim her claws,
or if her coat is marked. Strategic meowing -- not for conversation,
but to get what she wants.
ENTP "The Great
White Hunter": King of imaginary bug-chasing. He talks a
lot--maybe to you, maybe to something only he can see. Likes to
be petted, but only for short periods of time; he's off as soon
as the next synapse fires in his brain.
ENTJ "The Little
General": Assumes control of the family and house. He'll
kick you out of his chair and demand half the bed. Doesn't purr,
but glares while being petted as if you're only doing your duty.
Yowls rather than meows.
INTP "The Flake":
Will play with toys, but bored quickly. If you give in, you'll
quickly have a closet full of cat toys he won't touch any more.
He'll sit, apparently doing nothing, and then be off on a tear.
When walking across a room, will suddenly sit down and start grooming
himself.
INTJ "The Limit-Setter":
If you have to be around, fine, but he'd prefer that you just
showed up once a week to drop off a case of canned food. If you
stay home sick, he'll glare at you, since after all it's his scheduled
day to have the house to himself.
ENFP "The Happy
Slob": Playful cat that will leave food smeared all over
the kitchen floor and track litter granules onto the carpet. Favorite
game is peek-a-boo. Likes to be petted, but won't sit still for
long.
ENFJ "The Ringleader":
Will organize the other cats into games. When you get home to
find the dining room chandelier swinging back and forth, and all
the cats are sitting in the living room looking innocent, it was
this cat's idea.
INFP: "The Little
Angel": Will look at you sweetly two seconds after she's
shredded the new curtains. Can't resist the kitchen counter. Likes
some lap time, but only on her terms.
INFJ "Skitty Kitty":
Wants to be affectionate, but never quite overcomes nervousness.
"Intrepid" is NOT her middle name. Likes to watch the
proceedings from a safe spot, such as the top of the staircase.
