If you have a cat then you probably treat them like your little child and think they are the greatest thing in the world. But have you ever looked at your furry friend and felt like he/she was scheming? Maybe even plotting?

Well, it's not in your head. Studies from the University of Edinburgh and the Bronx Zoo in New York found that cats are neurotic and unstable! USA Today says that researchers compared the personalities of domesticated cats to wildcats using the "Big Five" personality traits found in humans.

  1. Extraversion
  2. Agreeableness
  3. Conscientiousness
  4. Neuroticism and
  5. Openness

In the end, it was found that house cats have personalities similar to African lions.

...with high inclinations toward dominance, impulsiveness and neuroticism"

If you've noticed that your cat acts anxious, suspicious, aggressive or is just downright unpredictable towards you, it's because they are. And if they were bigger in size, they would consider killing you!

In the end, we all love of our cats and I couldn't imagine life without my baby girl.
