The only things she has observed over time that seem to old true are that the grey/blue cats are more quiet, reserved and shy. Mauricio (tuxie) is a huge loud talker (in your face) and Momma's boy. Our angel Mackenzie (orange tabby) was a Momma's boy, but had a teeny tiny meow that sounded like a sheep. Mokmthinks that each kitty has its own unique purrsonality no matter, color or how raised.

Tubby my ginger is active like Waffles but; doesn't steal food. Cashew my cream colored one does and is loud but; loves hugs. Garfield is the grumpy but; loving ginger. Charlie my B&W is more like Katie. Now Hope the youngest is all of the above in one cat. LOL.

Sasha is a tabby, generally relaxed and laid back but oh my that boy can holler, he doesn't care for strangers at all. Silver, also a tabby, was very shy, didn't really like anyone other than Sasha, (we were tolerated because we fed her), she hardly talked at all. Sami, another tabby (with some tortie colors) is the Walmart greeter of the group, loves everyone and I mean everyone, she just chirps and is simply loveable Silas and Shady were litter mates, he was an orange tabby, she was mostly black, both were laid back and relaxed and simply gentle souls. Saku is the black and white tuxie, the wild child, very vocal and demands attention when he wants it.<br /><br />I don't think the color matter, they simply have different personalities and even though all were adopted by 6 weeks the interactions they had with one another also seems to have had an impact. <br /><br />Waffles and Katie, you're absolutely correct...all that really matters is that you are loved and love your Glogirly and Gloman That makes everything perfect!Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818202002421457399.post-14874011030253364802015-02-24T21:24:36.222-04:002015-02-24T21:24:36.222-04:00Hey, Summer!

Katie was an only cat for a long time. Waffles had a big sister from the start. There's a huge difference between older and younger siblings, even adopted ones, based on birth order. For instance, Katie could afford to eat slowly, no competition. Waffles has two dishes to check out, even if one is not supposed to be his. Katie had all the attention she wanted or didnt want, Waffles has to carve out his own time and probably had some jealousy. Anyway, that's just a thought. Yeah, same house, same pawrents, but still different lives.

My third chocolate is my little girl, she is shy of visitors and is quite lazy but she knows how to let the boys know if she does not like something.

Her cat Herb, a big Tuxie, was very laid back and lazy, but her first cat Danny, a Ginger, was loud and crazy just like Waffles.

You would think nature and nurture being the same, they'd have similar personalities. But usually there's a shy one and an outgoing one; a fearful and a laid back cat.<br />PS.
