How cats got their personalities

Cats may have partly domesticated themselves. Wildcats in the Near East were drawn to early farming villages by the rodents living in stored grain, and people were happy to have them around. On the island of Cyprus, archaeologists found a cat buried near a human grave roughly 9,500 years ago, an early sign of a close bond. Unlike dogs, cats were never bred much for specific jobs, so they kept a lot of their independent streak.

Anyone who has lived with more than one cat knows they can be wildly different. Two kittens from the same litter can grow up with completely different habits, tastes in food and opinions about strangers, and owners love comparing stories. Cats also sleep a lot, usually somewhere between 12 and 16 hours a day, so how they spend their waking hours says plenty about who they are.

This quiz asks where you'd nap, how you greet people, what toy you'd choose and what kind of home suits you. Each answer leans toward one of four cat personalities, and the one you pick most often wins. There are no wrong answers, and it's a playful quiz rather than a psychological test, so channel your inner feline and have fun.
