If you were a cat, what kind would you be?

Let’s admit it—we all secretly aspire to be a cat. Imagine a life where you can lounge in sunbeams, engage in mischievous activities such as knocking things off shelves, and receive admiration from humans. Yes, please.

However, not all cats are equal. Just like us, they have personalities, preferences, quirks, and chaos levels. So, if you were a cat… Which kind would you be? Let’s claw into the possibilities.

The Sphynx: The Naked Overthinker

Do you overanalyse text messages? Apologise when someone else bumps into you? You, my friend, might just be a sphinx.

The Sphynx, despite being hairless and extremely high-maintenance, embodies a unique combination of drama and deep thought. They’re the cats who need heated blankets, fancy jumpers, and cuddles on demand. Sound familiar?

You’re stylish, sensitive, and always cold. You likely possess seven varieties of tea and have a therapist at your disposal. You’re the cat who wants affection right now—but don’t you dare look at them funny while giving it.

The British Shorthair: Calm, Cool, and a Bit Judgy

You walk into a room and silently evaluate everyone’s outfit. You enjoy a tasty biscuit, a glass of something strong, and curling up with a historical docuseries. Congratulations—you are the British Shorthair. Elegant. Round. Slightly disapproving. These cats are basically walking tea cosies with built-in sass.

You’re the type who silently judges people using the wrong there/their/they’re, has a ‘book nook’ aesthetic, and secretly believes the cat is smarter than the dog. You enjoy your own company. Others are… fine. In moderation.

The Bengal: Chaos Goblin Energy

You’re the one in the group chat starting plans at 2 a.m., booking flights during your lunch break, and owning at least one item of clothing with a wild print. You, my unhinged icon, are a Bengal.

These cats are beauty and madness in equal measure. They are athletic, unpredictable, and incredibly loud. You are a gregarious individual with a fiery spirit. You want action, attention, and a new hobby every other week. You likely hold a strong belief in astrology and have owned glow-in-the-dark stars at some point in your life. You’re the cat who’d knock the wine glass off the table, then act surprised.

The Ragdoll: The Chill Baby of the Group

Are you just…vibing? Do you love naps and hugs, and like, have a Bengal tiger life happen around you? Welcome to Ragdoll territory. Ragdolls are those floppy, affectionate creatures who go limp in your arms and genuinely enjoy your company. They’re gorgeous and calm, and they just want a cosy life.

You’re the friend everyone goes to for advice. You’re chill, romantic, and more emotionally available than any of us deserve. Your ideal Sunday involves pastries, candles, and rewatching “Bridgerton” while wearing something fluffy.

The Siamese: The Loud Star of the Show

Do people say you’re “a lot”, but they also love that about you? Do you narrate your life in your head with dramatic music? Say hello to your inner Siamese.

Siamese cats are vocal, clingy, and unashamedly in the moment. They’re the Broadway stars of the feline world.

You’re expressive. You feel things. You probably have an Instagram highlight called “Mood” and think people who say “too emotional” are just afraid of passion. You’re also a loyal little shadow—fiercely loving and just a bit chaotic. You’re the cat that meows like it’s Shakespeare.

The Maine Coon: The Gentle Giant

You’re the big softie. You are known as the golden retriever of cats. You make killer lasagne, text back promptly, and would never leave someone on “seen”.

Maine Coons embody the gentle giants of the feline world. Massive fluff-balls with kind eyes and a chill vibe, they’re the kind of cat who’s just thrilled to be here.

You’re dependable, a little goofy, and low-key hilarious. You probably have surprisingly profound knowledge of dinosaurs or space. People underestimate how humorous you are. You embody the essence of a king or queen, dressed in comfortable trousers.

The Tortoiseshell: A Walking Vibe Shift

You’re sunshine and thunderstorms in the same hour. You are not “moody”; rather, you embody the power of nature. You’re a tortoiseshell.

Also known as “Tortitude main character energy. They’re expressive, stunning, and slightly terrifying—but in a good way.

You’re a trendsetter. You will ghost a party and also cry at a perfume advert. You are “precise” rather than “high maintenance”. You’re the cat who swipes at your human for petting you wrong. And we respect that.

The Street Cat: Scrappy, Fierce, and Full of Soul

The Street Cat, while not strictly classified as a breed, embodies a distinct personality.

If you’ve ever eaten cereal for dinner three days in a row, survived a questionable roommate, or know how to open a wine bottle with a shoe, then you are a glorious, resilient street cat.

You’re resourceful, independent, and far cooler than you think. You’ve probably got a tattoo that means something deep or a playlist titled “Songs to Build a Life To”. You’re the cat who’s seen things and still purrs.

How to Find Your Inner Cat?

Ask yourself:

• Do you like chaos or calm?
• Are you introverted or just tired of people?
• Do you secretly think you’d look wonderful with whiskers?

Maybe you’re a mix. You might be a Ragdoll who harbours Bengali traits. Perhaps you are a Maine Coon who yearns to be a Siamese. These cats, also known as “Tortitude”, possess a strong personality, and neither are you.

In conclusion, we all share a bit of feline nature.

Being a cat isn’t just about the fluff and purring—it’s about the vibe. The mystery. The confidence. Occasionally, a slap is followed by a cuddle. Cats embody their true selves without apology.

So, next time life gets too much, channel your inner cat:

• Take a nap in the sun.
• Scream for snacks.
• Knock something off a shelf. (Metaphorically. Or not.)

Whether you’re a sleek Siamese or a scruffy street legend, you possess the purr-sonality to command attention.
