"Of
all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of
the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat
it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat."
~Mark Twain
Wildcat
personalities do not differ substantially from their domestic cousins
and exhibit the aloof behavior that is common to all felines. With
their well-deserved reputations as creatures of comfort, wildcats
jealously guard their independence while indulging in the finer
things in life. Attractive, solitary, creative and curious, these
individuals are quite happy to observe the world from a distance.
The
wildcat would never take a conventional route and prefers to explore
life from off the beaten track, relying heavily on its instincts and
powers of observation to guide it safely through the jungle. Its air
of indifference and need for privacy keeps it on the outskirts of
society, but its love for comfort always brings it back.
Exceptional
personal hygiene is a hallmark of the wildcat personality, and from
their hair to their fingernails they are immaculately groomed.
Shopping for clothing or personal-care items spices up long, dreary
days.
When
someone wrongs a wildcat, they make it their business to even the
score. Displaying superb patience, wildcats will even wait years for
the right moment. When the occasion comes to strike, they gather all
their force and attack. In the face of a ferocious display of hissing
and blustering, their surprised victim has little chance of escape.
The
wildcat differs from its lion relatives in its approach to its social
structure. With an aversion to the complex family organization of the
lion, the wildcat finds freedom and self-indulgence to be far more
compelling. As a natural explorer it disdains staying in one place
for long, preferring the freedom of solitary roaming in exotic
locales. This wanderlust makes it ideal for a career as a travel
agent, explorer, mountain climber, researcher or writer.
Although
wildcats are uncomfortable performing in front of large groups, their
grace and lithe bodies make them natural dancers or gymnasts.
