Talira, our barely torrtie haus panther, is like Buddy at the vet.Īlso, both Buddy and Talira calm down quickly after coming home from the vet. But her older brother by blood, a striped tabby, Buddy Love, who lived his first 18 months of life on the streets, is nervous but cooperative. My bottle baby, classic tabby girl, T.C., must also be gassed, because she is almost as aggressive at the vet as Sgt Cuffs. He’s a 9 pound love-child of a Cuisinart and a Tasmanian Devil! He’ll will kill anyone holding a rectal thermometer. Our former office cat (now re-homed with the business owner), Sgt Cuffs, is solid black and must be gassed before the vet can handle him. I agree with Sarah: My experience so far has been different.

So, what do you think about these results? Does your cat seem similar to the results that they described? I know for myself, my tuxedo cat has cattitude for days! Share with us in the comments section. But this study out of the UK suggests that female calico cats in the US are more likely to display aggressive behavior towards their owners. I’ve always personally believed that calico cats are sweet. Tortoiseshell and white cats were the “moodiest” with their humans among all cats. Gray and white cats were most likely to become aggressive when visiting the veterinarian’s office.ĥ. Black and white cats were less accepting of being handled by their humans, and preferred to be affectionate on their terms.Ĥ. These tortoiseshell and white cats were labeled as having “anti-social behavior” in accordance with the study.ģ. Second and third to the tuxies are tortoiseshell with white cats, and gray and white cats. At the top of the list for “most aggressive” cat would be black and white cats, specifically those with tuxedo cat patterns. As a result, here are some of the surprising stats that they gathered:ġ. And the owners used this to grade their cat’s regular behavior. These responses were given by a rating on an “aggression scale”. Of course they questioned their reaction when being taken to the vet. It was based off of their everyday interactions and how they respond to being handled. Each questionnaire asked them to list the frequency and degree of their cat’s aggressive behavior. Of those cat owners polled in the study, the owners were asked to respond to a questionnaire. Their goal was to assess the theory that a cat’s coat can and will directly affect a cat’s temperament. Once the theory was hypothesized, research was conducted among 1,274 cat owners. And it comes as no surprise to see which fancy felines top the list! It suggests that cat coat and temperament are inexplicably linked. That is, when assessing cat coat and temperament anyways.īut then a study out of the UK was published by the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. And ginger tabby cats? For example, they are known in the feline study world as being the most “gregarious” of all cats. Tuxedo cats are known by many in the cat world as the type that can be sweet but sassy. In an article talking about fun facts about tuxedo cats, I reported on the well-known moniker of tuxietude that tuxedo cats often display. But there are the still the rare occasions when our cats can be downright sassy! Even those of us who have super sweet kitty cats. I think pretty much every cat owner knows what cattitude is.
