Mostly A's

You are a Ocicat

The Ocicat is both playful and devoted. She may spring into action on a whim at any moment, or languidly pass an hour away in the lap of a loved one. The Ocicat is happiest with friends and struggles at being solitary for any period of time. Her exotic, no-fuss coat is a breeze to maintain, and looking her best comes easily. Inquisitive by nature, she gets into trouble from time to time. But any trouble is soon forgotten because she is off on a new adventure in a flash!


Mostly B's

You are a Burmese

The Burmese is a pint-sized powerhouse. Relentlessly able to keep her eye on the ball, she always gets what she wants; whether it is a lap to sit in, a toy to play with or the serving of a meal. Caring and lovable, the Burmese regularly seeks out affection and is content to cuddle with loved ones for hours at a time. Her coat is thick and glossy, and she is fastidious about keeping it in tip-top shape. Always ready to play, this attention-grabber never gets passed by!



Mostly C's

You are a Norwegian Forest Cat

The Norwegian Forest Cat is strong and independent. She is reserved with newcomers but blossoms in the company of old friends. Confidently defending what is hers, she does not like strangers in her territory. Her luxurious coat is a lot to handle, and necessity dictates regular upkeep. An amazing athlete, the Norwegian Forest Cat thrives on physical activity, and no leap is too great or prey too quick for her to tackle. This huntress is clearly queen of her domain!



Mostly D's
You are a Snowshoe

The Snowshoe is gregarious and talkative. She is always ready for fun and will regularly try to instigate a game. While her strong intellect leads her to try new things, it also causes her to become easily bored when a task is mastered. Variety is truly the spice of life for this kitty! Affectionate with others, eager to interact, the Snowshoe is always the belle of the ball.




Mostly E's

You are a Persian

The Persian is a relaxed observer. She quietly takes in the details of her surroundings and is happiest in her role as a spectator. The Persian will gladly accept affection, but does not often seek it out. Her loving and patient nature makes her an ideal housemate while her stress-free nature will allow her to make friends with whoever stops by. The Persian's greatest pastime is grooming her thick, tangle-prone fur, but it's worth the effort, because she always looks fabulous!



I hope you had fun taking this quiz. By the by, email me or leave me a comment about your results. If what you got isn't really your personality, thats okay. This is just for fun. I was the Norwegian Forest Cat.

How Did Your Pet Get It's Name?

Write in and tell me how your cat got its name. Was it something he/she did or is it or is it a name you've always loved.

Tyler got his name, because that was the name I would have been named if I had been a boy and that would have been the name if I had, had a brother.

Wiggles was a little more complicated. When we first got him we started calling him Little Buddy or Buddy for short, because he was Tyler's little buddy. Then he started being so cute and cuddly that we changed his name to Snuggles. Then we saw the way he pounces on things. He lays down and watches it, then he sticks his bottom in the air, wiggles it then pounces. Hence the name Wiggles.

Nicknames

What do you call you cat. And I mean besides his/her name. I mean a nickname. Write in or leave a comment about your cat's nickname(s).

My cats have many nicknames. Each one of my family members has a different nickname
(s) for them.

Tyler: Baby, Sweetie, Tyler Kitty, Buddy, Sweetness, Pretty Boy, Pretty Kitty Cat, Bright Eyes, Baby Caluba.
Wiggles: Caluba*, Caluby, Wiggley Woo, Babies, Buddy, Pretty Boy, Stinker Kitty, Boo, Wiggleness.

*Caluba is a name I made up one day when I got upset with Wiggles. I said, "Wiggles your such a...a...Caluba." In my language Caluba mean stinker, which is what Calu-I mean Wiggles is a lot of the time.

Our vet calls Wiggles, Wiggs. My mom and I think that is, because Wiggles sounds like such a girly name.
