1. The Human Cat

The human-cat is a feline that enjoys and prefers the company of people. They express this by massaging and purring towards family members frequently. In addition, they are usually more meek and can even despise playtime with others of the same species.

Human-cats have often socialized with people from an early age and generally have had good upbringing, so they feel safe with humans. Their favorite activities are: to be brushed, to be massaged and to be fed.

5. The Solitary Cat

The lonely or solitary cat is also known as a cranky cat and is almost always alert. They do not appreciate social contact, perhaps because of poor socialization or trauma.

They need more time to adjust or to gain confidence with new people and are generally very independent. The lonely cat needs more space and seems to refuse any interaction, but it is important to take time so they can gradually feel loved.
