| Abstract | The study of domestic cat (Felis catus) personality based on survey in Poland. On the basis of Internet survey and using specially structured questionnaire for owners authors obtained data concerning assessment of behaviour of 161 domestic pure breed and mixed breed cats. Working on this data various statistical procedures were applied with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a chief method to extract personality dimensions in domestic cat. Authors obtained fi ve dimensions of cat personality: openness, quietness, affi liation, activity and anthroaffi liation. The distinction between affi liation (in cat group context) and anthroaffi liation (in relation between cat and man) was fi rstly revealed in this study. The data also showed that some specifi c factors (age, duration of play with caretaker) have effect on cat personality. The comparison of personality of pure breeds and mixed breed cats referred rather to vocal communication than to its affi liation with human being (anthroaffi liation). Results of this study yielded by authors may be applied in shelters procedure of cat adoption. |
