If your cat is grumpy, it's probably your fault! Research finds cats mirror their owner's personalities

Researchers were able to find that pets which were neurotic, overweight, or cheerful were owned by people who had similar traits in their personalities
PUBLISHED FEB 25, 2019

Cats don't really have a reputation for being loving and loyal like a dog but there's something about their personalities that some people just cannot resist. Scientists have now found that cats basically love copying stuff and they end up developing interesting personalities based on their owners. The researchers were able to find that pets which were neurotic, overweight, or cheerful were owned by people who had similar traits in their personalities.

Generally, it's dogs that are supposed to be like their owners and cats have always been considered to be the independent pets. Animal behavior experts at Lincoln University, however, have said that pet owners who were neurotic were less likely to let their cats go outside, Daily Mail reported.
