😼 1. The Therapist
Signs they are a therapist cat:
Shows up exactly when you’re sad or anxious
Gently sits near your heart or chest
Makes consistent eye contact but stays silent
Sleeps near your head at night
This is the cat who always knows when something’s off, even if you’re pretending it’s not. They don’t need attention, they just show up, sit nearby, and somehow make everything feel a little better.

Signs they are a gremlin cat:
Steals things (hair ties, rings, socks) and hides them
Zooms through the house at 3 a.m.
Makes strange sounds when alone
Stares at corners for no reason
This one’s a furry little gremlin. They steal your hair ties, sprint through the house at 2 a.m., and have way too much fun doing it. You never know what they’re planning, and honestly… you don’t want to know. You just hope they didn’t break anything.

Signs they are an oracle cat:
Stares at nothing for very long periods
Seems to sense mood shifts or incoming storms
Sleeps in strange formations (circles, spirals, arms out like a prophet)
Always near the moonlight or windows
They’ve definitely been here before. Quiet, observant, and maybe just a little spooky, this cat sees things you don’t and has major “I’ve walked this earth for centuries” energy.
I’m sure the sensing things is a trait for most cats, but some of them just don’t react or care.

Hisses or swats when something isn’t “to standard”
Eats only certain food or drinks from a glass

Takes a trait, or many traits from all the other personalities
Sweet, spicy, clingy, and chaotic, sometimes all in the same 5 minutes. You never know who you’re getting, but honestly, that’s half the fun. They borrow traits from every type and change their vibe like they’re switching costumes.

- She sleeps near my head at night, #1 – therapist.
- She can sense when there is a storm coming, #3 – oracle.
- She greets me at the door, plays fetch, follows me room to room, loves walks/hates car rides, #4 cat-dog.
- She demands attention, but only on her terms, and she will literally walk from my head to my feet to wake me up to feed her, #6, royalty.
