Which one’s your pet? Which one’s your pet?
We’ve assessed pet patterns, and found five key archetypes for dogs and cats.
Keep in mind, this is more of a playful experiment rather than a behavioural or scientific test. But... you might find the results eerily accurate anyway.
The Go-Getter
Always alert and the first on the scene. These enthusiastic balls of energy can run circles around their peers. They’re the perfect workout buddy, and you’ll be catching your breath trying to keep up with them.
Find out moreThe Opportunist
Ambitious schemers that know how to get what they want. They’ll love you then leave you for a better offer.
Find out moreThe Comedian
Cheeky, fun-loving extroverts that love being the centre of attention. They’re always the life of the party.
Find out moreThe Lover
Sweet and affectionate. These hopeless romantics love nothing more than a smooch and a cuddle.
Find out moreThe Genius
These endlessly curious wunderkinds love learning and pick up tricks like no other. You can take them anywhere, knowing that they’ll attract tons of compliments on their good behaviour.
Find out moreThe Free Spirit
Playful, happy-go-lucky and independent. They love playing games and going on adventures.
Find out moreThe Sidekick
Nothing makes them happier than going on adventures with you and being by your side. They’re the perfect working-from-home, and napping companion. As loving and devoted as they come.
Find out moreThe Introvert
Quiet, timid and shy. These cats need time and space to feel safe around new people. But with some love and patience, you can certainly draw them out of their shell.
Find out moreThe Chillaxer
Calm, relaxed and laissez-faire. They’re always drifting off without a care in the world. Their happy place is a nice cosy spot on the couch in front of the telly.
