No matter how small your pet is, you know they have a BIG personality.
Your cat acts like they’re the landlord and you’re the tenant. Your dog is a lovable oaf. They make you laugh, warm your heart and rule the roost.
But what type of personality does your pet have?
Take this quick teatime quiz, keep track of your answers and find out whether your furry family member is The Boss, The Cuddlebug, The Comedian or The Curious Explorer.
1. It’s Saturday morning. You’re still in bed. What’s your pet doing?
A) Sitting on your chest, willing you to wake up. It’s past breakfast time and this will set the tone for the day.
B) Burrowed under the blanket, pressed against your side and loving the extra cuddles.
C) Making as much noise as possible before launching themselves onto the bed.
D) Gone. You can’t hear them, but they’re likely off doing an investigation of their own.
2. What is their immediate reaction to a new toy?
A) Confiscates it immediately and guards it on their favourite chair so nobody else touches it.
B) Carries it over to you so you can hold it while they chew or play with it on your lap.
C) Tosses it into the air, catches it, gets the zoomies and runs headfirst into the couch.
D) Systematically attempts to dissect it to find exactly where the squeaker is hidden.
3. How do they behave when guests come over?
A) Stands at the door evaluating the newcomers and deciding whether they are worthy of entry.
B) Immediately rolls onto their back at the guests’ feet, shamelessly demanding belly rubs.
C) Brings the guests a completely random object, like a single shoe, and proudly shows it off.
D) Sniffs the guests’ bags, shoes and pockets to catalogue all the interesting smells they brought in from the outside world.
4. Where is their ultimate favourite place to sleep?
A) The exact centre of your bed, leaving you clinging to the edge of the mattress and fighting for the blanket.
B) Smushed as tightly against your side or chest as physically possible.
C) Tangled up upside down in a blanket they somehow dragged into the middle of the hallway.
D) Perched by a window or door so they keep one eye on the neighbourhood like your personal Batman.
The results: What is your pet’s personality?
Tally up your answers and see which letter you chose most often.
Mostly A’s: The Boss
Your pet runs the house and you are simply the staff.
They are confident, schedule-orientated and know exactly what they want and when they want it.
Boss pets are decisive, loyal to their circle and hate being controlled. They sometimes get a bad reputation as the problem child, but underneath the hard shell is a softie.
Remember one thing. They are still in charge.
Mostly B’s: The Cuddlebug
Sweet, deeply attached and fiercely loyal, The Cuddlebug’s main goal in life is to become a permanent, warm extension of your body.
They’re the therapy pets of the family.
Bad day? They sense it before you do. They’ll be the first to offer an empathetic head on your knee or a comforting purr on your lap.
Personal space is no longer part of your life.
Mostly C’s: The Comedian
Did someone say play?
The Comedian is the clown of the family. They’re goofy, energetic and constantly doing ridiculous things that keep you laughing.
These pets are optimistic, social and live to entertain. Life is one big game and everyone is invited.
Even when you don’t feel like being silly, they have a habit of changing your mind.
Mostly D’s: The Curious Explorer
Independent, sharp and inquisitive, your pet is part detective, part scientist and full-time explorer.
Every closed door, rustling bush and new cardboard box is a mystery waiting to be solved.
Explorers are intelligent and sensitive. They’re more restrained than Comedians, but they still keep you on your toes.
They also need plenty to keep them occupied, otherwise they might find their own entertainment.
So, which one lives in your house?
