Famous ailurophiles include Albert Schweitzer who, although left-handed, would write with his right hand rather than distrub his cat who would sleep on his left arm, and the prophet Mohammed, who cut off his sleeve rather than wake a cat which was sleeping on it.--Cat Lingo http://www.kinrossfolds.com/cattery/glossary.html

A QUESTION Q: Is there a vocabulary ailurophiles use to describe cat personalities?
A: Yes, and it's called the Kinross Glossary of Terms:
Affectionate means a breed that is very demonstrative in its affection.
Reserved means a less demonstrative breed (but just as loving).
Active means an animal always on the go; the typical overgrown kitten.
Tranquil means a sedate and dignified animal.
Quiet means a non-talking breed.
Vocal means the cat won't shut up.
