What is PurrJung?

PurrJung is a free online cat personality assessment designed to help cat owners understand their feline companion's unique behavioral traits. Inspired by established personality psychology frameworks and adapted specifically for cats, PurrJung categorizes cats into 16 distinct personality types based on four behavioral dimensions.

The Four Dimensions of Cat Personality

• Social vs Solitary (E/I): How your cat interacts with humans and other animals
• Routine vs Novelty (S/N): Preference for familiar patterns vs exploring new things
• Independent vs Bonded (T/F): Self-reliance vs attachment to their human
• Structured vs Spontaneous (J/P): Predictable schedules vs impulsive behavior

Scientific Foundation: The Feline Five and Beyond

PurrJung builds upon established cat personality research, including the Feline Five model developed by researchers at the University of South Australia. While the Feline Five identifies five core personality traits in cats (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Dominance, Impulsiveness, and Agreeableness), PurrJung expands this into 16 distinct behavioral types using a four-dimension framework similar to MBTI. This provides more nuanced insights into your cat's unique personality while remaining grounded in observable feline behaviors documented in veterinary behavioral science.
