Which Cat Breed Are You?

Cats have a reputation for doing exactly what they want, but spend time with a few and you'll notice every breed has its own style. Some are chatty and demanding, some are gentle giants, some would happily nap from breakfast to dinner, and some can't walk past a shelf without climbing it. Sound like anyone you know?

This quiz asks ten quick questions about how you spend your weekends, how you show people you care, how you text and what you're doing at 11pm. Your answers build a profile across six traits: Energy, Affection, Independence, Curiosity, Calm and Sass. We then compare it with the well-known temperaments of popular cat breeds and find your closest match, plus the breed you're a bit of.

At the end you'll see how closely you match, your three strongest traits and a personalized card to share with friends. There are no wrong answers, so go with your gut. It takes about three minutes.

Thinking about bringing a cat home? Treat your result as a fun starting point, not a buying guide. Every cat is an individual, some breeds need lots of grooming or attention, and shelters are full of wonderful cats of every personality. Talk to rescues and owners first, and consider adopting.
