Chatterbocks™ Ranking. Scale 1 to 16: 15.
This cat is typically very quiet and reserved unless they happen to meet someone who, like them, loves exploring theoretical concepts, analyzing possibilities and dreaming up long-term goals. That said, they are not typically very verbal when it comes to discussing their feelings or people’s personal lives. "None of your business". They see little point in small talk or anything that does not have a meaningful long-term purpose.
A few drinks can help at the Gin Palace.
Talks more than listens if interested in the topic.
Tends to be more interested in securing novel sensory stimulation or engaging in physical action.
Totally turned off by small talk and celebrity or any type of gossip.
Moodiness Ranking™: Only moody when surrounded by idiots. Rank 15/16.
