 ARIES - The Ram Cat
March 21 - April 19

The Aries Cat is loyal, proud, and confident. Aries cats are pioneers, giving them an aggressive nature. They are full of creative energy and enthusiasm which enables them to initiate change. Their confidence and impulsiveness sometimes gets them into precarious situations, whether it be following a mouse into a corner that's a little too tight or chasing that ball a little too fast on hardwood floors. But the Aries cat will always firmly and boldly assert himself and dive headlong into another escapade, especially if it entails jumping on top of the refrigerator. Being movers and shakers, they often have trouble with their humans due to their inability to take orders or listen. They are highly competitive and usually enjoy both physical and mental pursuits. They seek recognition and often use aggressive force rather than diplomacy to get what they desire. The Aries Cat succeeeds at everything and refuses to admit defeat.

The Male Aries Cat is aggressive, domineering, energetic, and restless. He has a very short temper and is impulsive, imaginative, and dynamic. His human can never be sure of what he will do next.

The Female Aries Cat is extremely independent, domineering, and energetic. She is playful, vibrant, and fearless in all things. She's quite athletic and can play for hours. She is a free spirit and will go after whatever she wants. She is always where the action is.

 
TAURUS - The Bull Cat
April 20 - May 20

The Taurus Cat is talented, loving, generous, and trusting. Taurus cats have great determination and will power, always striving to acquire both emotional and material security. Taurus cats need their owner's laps and will put up with almost anything just to sit in them. The Taurus cat relishes time with his owner, but will ignore the owner from time to time just to keep a little mystery. They are extremely loyal but display a possessive streak where affections are concerned.

Taurus cats are quiet and peaceful and are most comfortable when all is well and secure in their world, especially if there's a scratching post, or sofa, nearby. They also love to lay in front of a fire or curled on a blanket. The Taurus Cat seems to like to listen to good music and usually possesses a rather melodious voice which is used often.

Taurus cats can be stubborn. They have their own methods of doing things in an efficient and practical manner - which often results in success. They have a kind and sensible nature. They are not easily angered but hate to be rushed and will balk

if pushed. They aren't likely to change their mind once it's made up.

The Male Taurus Cat loves physical activity, comfort, and demands quality in all aspects of his life. He wants to be treated well, and will treat his human well in return. He is strong willed, possessive, and intensely emotional. His human shouldn't try to boss him around because there's no way to get him to do anything he doesn't want to do anyway.

The Female Taurus Cat is instinctive and knowledgeable. She loves beautiful objects and adornments and will welcome any and all gifts with open paws. She always knows exactly what she wants and will become quite stubborn if she doesn't get it. As long as her human stays on her good side and treats her with tender loving care, she will be affectionate and sweet. She's eager to learn about life and will win your heart right away. She wants a human who is sincere and appreciative of her abilities. If her chosen human lives up to her high standards, she will always be a loyal and loving companion.


GEMINI
The Twins Cat
May 21 - June 21

The Gemini Cat is witty, charming, compassionate, and social. Gemini cats are intellectual and capable of thinking more than one thought simultaneously. They are vocal communicators and have a highly developed learning capacity. Their reactions to situations are ruled by the mood of the moment, creating the duality in their personality. To them, variety is the spice of life. Due to their continuous desire to spread themselves too thin, a high strung nature is usually present. Humans are attracted to their charming personalities and intelligence.

The Gemini Cat is a lively cat that gets along anywhere and with most other cats. Gemini cats love to involve their owners in every aspect of their lives, which often includes sharing a recent catch from the back yard. Gemini cats are youthful and exuberant, inquisitive and mischievious. They love to play with toys and trinkets and usually have many of them throughout the house.

The Male Gemini is always on the move. He can't stand schedules or routine in any aspect of his life. He's quite the talker and can usually capture the heart of any human that interests him through vocalization alone. He has a youthful nature and is

extremely appealing. His fun loving approach to life, his passion for entertainment, and his constant search to experience anything new and different contributes to his charm. He has a great curiosity about everything and will pursue anything that interests him as long as it continues to be a challenge. He doesn't have much staying power and usually takes off to pursue new interests once he gets bored.

The Female Gemini cat is a delight. She's charming, friendly, and easy to approach -- but not always easy to read. Without warning, her receptive side can turn abruptly to distance. She likes challenge and is forever trying to do things a different way. Change is a big part of her life pattern and is necessary to her emotional well being. She will use her feline appeal to get what she wants.


CANCER -The Crab Cat
June 22 - July 22

The Cancer Cat is artistic, sensitive, and stubborn. They have highly developed protective and defensive instincts.When no one is looking, Cancer cats practice arching their backs and hissing. They are overly sensitive to and fearful of ridicule, but their crab-like shell camouflages their shyness and emotional vulnerability. They obtain security through solitude. They have a strong need for domestic stability and will do what is necessary to achieve and hold their position in the household -- as long as there is no risk involved. They possess a great deal of diplomacy and have memories that outshine all others. They like their environment to be neat and clean and are considered to be rather refined. They are masters at the art of passive resistance, making them somewhat unapproachable. The Cancer Cat is melancholy and likely to cry out loud and often.

Cancer cats are also emotional and intuitive; they know what's on their owner's mind even if they don't care. Cancer cats intuitively understand all that is going on around them.

The Male Cancer Cat is often sulking or daydreaming and can be somewhat idealistic about the role he plays. He is quite the conversationalist and will meow at every turn.

He is possessive and expects a great deal from his human. He clings to memories, friends, and habits and is generally quite lucky in life. He will notice any form of change immediately -- and will promptly resist it.

The Female Cancer Cat needs to be handled with tender loving care and will turn away from any human who is overly aggressive. She will sacrifice anything and everything and go all out for her humans. She wants to be pampered and praised for all the cute little acts she provides. She loves to cuddle and hug but is happiest if she thinks she's the one doing it all.

February 19 - March 20

The Pisces Cat is artistic, compassionate, tolerant, and such a dreamer. Pisces cats are extreme, sensitive, and unusual.

They are sometimes difficult to understand but always seem get what they want. If denied they revert to over-indulgence. They are extremely affectionate; but their moods alternate to extremes, so it is difficult to get the same impression twice. These cats are one of a kind, quite unique. The Pisces Cat is a kind and loving cat, even around water. They are caring and giving cats, willing to share a toy, a lap or a bird brought in from the yard. Because of their selfless nature they come when they are called, hoping for a treat, but happy with some strokes along the back.

The Male Pisces Cat is sensitive and loving but somewhat unstable. He can be extremely changeable, doing one thing and then turning around and doing exactly the opposite. He has been known to bite the hand that feeds him. He is very perceptive

but seldom sees the shortcomings in those he loves. He wants to go first class all the way.
