They’re not quite the same as people, but they make pretty good friends, I’ve discovered. My three cats have very distinct personalities.
Roxanne, who is the largest cat, also is the most shy … sort of. She tends to hang back, but when she wants attention, she’ll butt you with her head to get it. She’ll also move away if the petting gets too comfortable and then come back. Roxanne is the long-haired Tortie in the middle.
Tomassina, the smallest cat (she’s on the right), is a short-haired Tortie, and at least familial sister of Roxanne. I adopted them together because they had both lived together before. Tommi is the first to greet me when I get home and insists that I pat her head. But then she’s had enough.
Arwen, is my “perfect” cat. She’s well-behaved, also greets me when I get home and sits with me when I’m reading or watching TV.
All three are good companions, despite their destructive nature. Their claws are hard on my couch and my coffee table!
