Default Pure Bred Behavior

there. What are your owners like? If you have a pure-bred or nearly so,
what is their personality like and how close does it conform to what is
accepted to be the breed standard? Do your moggies have pure-bred
personalities? Yeah, I know, even moggies are pure bred, or at least a lot
went into their breeding.


We have two sets of purebred siblings: the girls (Bengals) and the boys
(Tonkinese). They are all very much like the breed standard describes in
terms of personality. The boys are love sponges who will demand pettins
all day long, even from strangers. The girls are too curious and smart
for their own good.
As for our moggies, Xoxo has a very sweet, easygoing personality. If I
had to describe him with one word, I'd say he's very "Austin". Our town
is very laid back, informal, cool... But I disgress. The other boys
(orange tabbies) even though they are siblings that we raised from 4
weeks old could not be more different from each other. Fez is very
outgoing and absolutely adores Tom. Rufous is a very scaredy-cat who
will jump with any noise, but once he's relaxed he's very sweet and loving.
