Scientists from the University of California conducted a study to find out whether there is a connection between the character of pets and their colors. The results are published by Taylor & Francis.
The study included a survey of pet owners using a psychometric Likert scale that assessed cat traits: active, bold, aloof, friendly, shy, calm, stubborn, courageous, patient and trainable, categorized by color – white, red, black, three-color and two-color.
According to respondents, the most active and friendly are pets with red skin. White cats turned out to be calm and courageous, but more aloof and not always getting along with people. It was not possible to identify any dominant character traits in black cats. Meanwhile, two-color cats, according to the owners, are very friendly, although somewhat aloof. But tricolors are even more aloof, impatient and not very friendly.
At the same time, the study contains only the personal perception of the owners. According to felinologists, the character of domestic cats is influenced by upbringing and genetics.
