Let the stars guide you in choosing a cat.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 28, 2016
If you don't have a cat, you need to get one. I have two and I never want to be without them. If this makes me a crazy cat person, so be it. My cats add so much to my life with their affection, the humor they create, and the hours of entertainment they bring.
Cats are good for your health and make you a happier person. And now that you know you need a cat, the question is: What kind of cat would be best for you? Here are some suggestion to help you find the cat most suited for you based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 - April 19): Siamese
Aries are enthusiastic and excitable, so you need a Siamese cat. They're known for liking to be involved in their human's life and for being very communicative. They love to talk.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Ragdoll
Taurus has a big and bold personality, but they also have a sensitive side and a strong appreciation for beauty. A Ragdoll cat would be ideal for you — they're very pretty and their personalities are docile and agreeable, which is exactly what you need to counterbalance your strong personality.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): A cat with heterochromia
You don't like anything that's normal and boring. You need a cat that's special and unique like one with one blue eye and one yellow eye. They'll keep you fascinated for hours. Plus, Geminis are known for their duality, so two different colored eyes are perfect.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Maine Coon
Cancers have a deep love of home and family. Maine Coon cats are devoted and loving to those they're closest to, and reserved with strangers. Maine Coon cats are extremely loyal, which is a quality Cancers appreciate.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): Tiger cat
Leos are bold, brave and love to be in the spotlight. You need a cat who's ferocious on the outside and sweet as pie on the inside. Your symbol may be a lion, but a tiger cat is the perfect pet for you.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Hairless cat
Virgos like things to be their way and wouldn't appreciate finding fur in their food or all over their sofa, but they wouldn't have to worry with a hairless cat. They have all the love and entertainment of a cat without any allergy-causing fur.
Libra (September 23 - October 22): Tuxedo cat
Libras want to be fair and look at their options, but it can take them forever to make a decision. A Tuxedo cat is everything they want in a cat: elegant, sociable and always dressed to the nines. And a bonus? Tuxedo cats are known for their superior intelligence.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Russian Blue
You don't want to piss a Scorpio off or betray them because they will shower you with rage. But that's only in extreme cases. Most of the time, Scorpios are pretty chill, but they do feel things passionately and need a cat they can pet and cuddle with to calm down. The regal Russian Blue is perfect for your sensibilities.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Ginger/orange
Sagittarius people like to go places and meet new people. Orange cats are hilarious, independent, and love people, so if you need to get a catsitter to watch them while you're gone, they'd be OK with that. They're just as carefree as you are, Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Black
Black cats aren't scary and don't carry bad luck, but lots of people won't have anything to do with them. Capricorns are too logical and dependable to believe in superstitions. A black cat would be a great companion to Capricorn, who has a tendency to brood about things.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Persian
Like their Aquarius counterpart, Persians are down-to-earth and affectionate, but they won't harass you for attention. This goes well with the free-spirited Aquarius.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Tortoiseshell
Pisces are deeply emotional, extremely loyal and creative. Tortoiseshell cats have very strong personalities and can be quietly sitting in your lap one moment, and racing around the house the next. For Pisces, they need someone to pull them out of their dreamy state sometimes.
There's no hard-and-fast rule regarding what kind of cat you choose or what kind of cat chooses you. They're all worthy of love and care, and give back a thousand times what they give.
