1. Round Shape
Arden Moore, an animal behaviorist
at the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants,
proposed that cats’ facial shapes and personalities are related.
According to her, cats with round faces
are said to be more affectionate than others.
In addition, they love to spend time with their owners
and are likely to be doglike cats who show a lot of affection.
At the same time, they usually get scared easily and have a gentle personality.
As such, cats with round faces are
a good match for introverts
who like to stay home and relax.
2. Square Shape
Cats with square-shaped faces
tend not to be shy and are usually very curious.
Due to this reason, oftentimes,
they are able to easily approach new objects or strangers
such that they are even referred to as “Retrievers” of the cat breed.
Cats with square faces are
often found in large cat breeds such as Maine Coons
and tend to have large and sturdy builds.
Square-faced cats are also a good match
for people who can stay at home for a long time.
3. Triangular Shape
Cat breeds that tend to have triangle-shaped faces
include Abyssinian or Siamese cats,
both of which are skinny, flexible,
and have large ears and triangular faces.
Cats with triangular faces are highly likely to be smart and have curious personalities.
Also, they have high energy levels such that they do not stay still even for a moment or like to run around quickly.
For triangular-faced cats,
people who are active and able to play with cats
without getting tired easily are a good match.
