While volunteering for Friends of Felines, Inc., Stamford, CT 2008 – 2020 socializing rescue cats for adoption I documented behaviors of individual cats that were destined for indoor home adoption and established a behavioral repertoire. Cats were surrendered or caught in traps outdoors and housed under similar care conditions. Cages typically were multiple cubicles or levels and when possible individuals interacted with other cats in a common play space. Data consisted of written observations during cat visits, photographs and video. Age classes were pooled for juveniles and adults. Observations were for one or more weekly visits per cat. The behavioral repertoire consists of 395 traits for: human social interactions; cat-cat interactions; individual cat displays, cognitive skills or activity level. Nine rescue personalities (41+19SD traits/rescue personality) are examined to determine their robustness as behavioral syndromes: Wildthing (feral hard-wired traits), Warrior (aggression), Tribble (human affection), Laplander (human tactile companion), Homebody (small home range), Olympian (high agility & motion), Rockstar (vocally active), Explorer (intelligence and curiosity) and Toy Enthusiast (co-opted prey hunting behaviors). Temperaments assessed on arrival during the first visit were people (n = 541 #cats): friendly (295, 55%); shy (176, 33%); and aggressive (70, 13%). A hypothetical evaluation of these cat types and their representative behavior traits as either domesticated or ancestral is discussed.
