Which type of kitten has the gentlest personality? Is it a ginger colour one, tabby, black or black & white?

Question

No, my question is purely innocent. I just thought colour went with personality in cats only!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROMISE!!

Answer 1

I've always found gingers or silver tabbies to be particularly friendly, cant resist a silver tabbie :)

Answer 2

The colour of the cat doesn't matter but some breeds are more placid than others. If you are talking about Pedigree cats you can check with the breeder or read articles describing them. Mixed breed cats are more of a lottery. Like people they are all different. If you can see the mother cat you can get some idea of the personality but I think environment comes into it as well. If you treat your cat gently it is more likely to grow up to be gentle. There are exceptions to this. My sister in law loves cats and adopted one which turned out to be one of the meanest cats I've ever met. It doesn't seem to like anybody. Here is a link to a site that describes some cat personality traits.

in many circumstances coloring takes after the mummy. no longer constantly. some kittens get combination-coloring from the two dad and mom as mine did a number of years in the past(gray tabby+orange tabby=torbies). The black kitten took after her mom, the two white ones have been given the recessive gene(absence of shade), the tabby have been given what each and every cat's have been given: each and every cat has tabby markings wheather you notice them or no longer-from their ancestor: the African wild cat. Ginger? the two a combination shade or taking after the father. often times, the queen friends with a number of toms and can actual have toddlers from distinctive toms interior a similar clutter. this is particularly of undertaking whilst attempting to make your strategies up what your kittens will appear like formerly they are born. this is nevertheless a jackpot afterwords although!!

Answer 4

Statistically, gingers are the best hunters and whites the worst. I have had two gingers who have both been good natured and the one who died some years ago was a fearsome hunter but the remaining one has never caught anything.
If you are choosing a kitten, just interact with them and this will give you a clue about which is "for" you.
My black cat was so sweet and soft and I miss him still.

Answer 5

I can't go past grey cats. I have one at the moment that is siamese cross but is grey and you couldn't find a gentler one if you tried. Tabbies are also great. But each kitty is different and that is one of the best part of having a kitten. Finding out what it will grow up to be like.

Answer 6

I agree with other posters that in non-pedigree cats you have to take them as you find them.

Its a bit different in pedigree cats, many of whom are bred for temperament as well as colour and markings.

My newest addition is a ragdoll who is as soft as butter and gentle as anything. They get to be HUGE cats (up to 20 pounds) but will never use their size to intimidate or dominate. They are excellent with other animals and children and can get quite protective of little children.

The main thing to consider with any tame animal is the environment in which it is reared. Bad/cruel treatment would make any person mean, let alone an animal who is less able to defend itself or talk back.

Any cat with a good, stable, loving home will turn out just fine - just like people (mostly!)

Hi there...colour rarely determines a cat's personality rather this is individual to the cat. For example a litter of kittens who look all alike such as Siamese--some of the littermates will be very affectionate whereas others may be very aloof yet they are all of the same breed. As an analogy with regards to human twins...they are alike in appearance yet they are very different in their individual personalities.

Answer 8

A cat is like a child, totally individual. Its colour will have nothing to do with its personality, how you treat it, and care for it will mould how it will turn out - the more love you give the more you will get back.

Only Breed has any bearing on its moods.

Answer 9

has little to do with colour. a specific breed (such as the rag doll breed) can be more likely to be docile, but a cat is, in it's most basic nature, a predator. it's entire design, even down to it's psyche, is built to kill. finding a good & healthy balance between giving your cat it's desired/needed attention & privacy at an early stage will be more likely to render you a cat less inclined to aggressive behaviour. however, some are just born wild. (note : wild is not! bad. just ill-suited to human cohabitation. i usually take in those ones)

Answer 10

I have always found that rescue kittens/cats have the sweetest personality! They appreciate your loving, caring home so much- I have a rescue cat and a "the neighbor didn't have their cat spayed so we got a kitten" cat; the rescued cat never takes his new home for granted, and they are both spoiled rotten.
