A mysterious and fluffy bundle of senses and instincts. These words can probably best describe our four-legged friend, the cat. They are gentle and wild, aggressive and fragile.
Don’t these qualities indicate that cats do have rather interesting personalities? The cat is one of the most paradoxical creatures combining human and jungle instincts. Maybe nowadays it is regarded as a simple mouse-hunter but in Ancient Egypt it was a sacred symbol.
The cat was a central figure in Egyptian culture and was a religious symbol of life, protection and fertility. It enjoyed great significance and fame in Indian, Chinese and Muslim cultures, too. Of course, there are controversial views regarding the cat: some consider it a symbol of good, others of evil, some as a symbol of virtue, others of vice.
Of course all cats are alike but at the same time they are different as they have individual characteristics. One common characteristic of cats is self-reliance. They aren’t dependent on human beings and don’t require attention all the time. They enjoy their freedom, but that doesn’t prevent them from being extremely devoted to their owners. They will never ignore your attention and care. Be sure it will be mutual.
If your cat has a personality then it cannot do without a name. A cat name represents the importance you place on your cat. Below is a list of names to consider for cats that used by different cultures:
African names: Amma, Shango, Mungo
Egyptian names: Anubis, Geb, Osiris
Greek names: Adonis, Apollo, Artemis, Eros
Indian names: Bali, Brahma, Kali
As Sigmund Freud once said, “Time spent with cats is never wasted.” So discover for yourself what cat personality is.
