The findings of the study, led by the Bronx Zoo and researchers at the University of Edinburgh were recently published in The Journal of Comparative Psychology.

The study compared the domestic cat to the Scottish wildcat, clouded leopard, snow leopard, and African Lion, and found that domestic cats have very similar personalities to lions.
Their personalities were studied using the Five-Factor Model.

The five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. 


Each species was studied and compared to one another in captivity.

 A domestic cat showed dominance, impulsiveness (the negative side ofconscientiousness) and neuroticism, in similar measure to the African lion.
