Nancy:
After Patrick, she's in charge. Being the only female, I think she
knows it and uses that to keep order amongst the males. She's very
self-sufficient and rarely seeks affection from humans. She sees humans as
only feeders, heaters and beaters (she likes to be spanked, remember!). She
considers Patrick as her mother and primary caregiver, he is the only
breathing member of the household she seeks approval and affection from.
She's vain and thinks she's beautiful, special and rare. She believes she
deserves and should get anything she wants. Nancy is really the only true
"bad cat" in the family and is the cause of most major destruction and
distraction in that field. She is assertive and aggressive when the situation
calls for it and never fails to speak her mind. She loves Sid because he is
her brother. She dislikes Bob to a fault but tolerates him because she knows
he's not leaving, no matter what she does or says.

Patrick:
Definitely the alpha-male of the house. He was the first cat and
although he is a lot less aggressive than the other cats, the other three
definitely defer to him as "the boss". I also think Patrick has the most
personality as far as trying to communicate with the humans to get what he
wants rather than the standard "meow feed me" and "meow water me". He is the
biggest giver and receiver of affection from the humans as well, the biggest
"baby" seeking acceptance by the slaves. He is the only cat whom really
likes to be cuddled at any time, not necessarily only on his terms. Patrick
is my favorite, hands down and definitely "mommy's cat".
Bob:
Bob *wants* to be the alpha male and wants to be second in command but
respects Patrick's position and (I believe) is frightened of realizing
Nancy's true wrath first hand. The youngest of the bunch by 3 years, he's
the main trouble maker mainly because of playfulness. Tends to randomly
attack Sid & Nancy for no reason, causing havoc amongst the troops. Bows to
no one, furry or human. He is his own cat with his own agenda and does
nothing unless it's on his terms. Loves his human daddy more than anything
else and only tolerates his Mommy. Snuggles on his terms, lets you know when
there has been enough touching by humans. Of the 4, he is the most
predictable in his actions and reactions and daily habits. I also think he's
the smartest of the 4. Bob is "Daddy's cat".
Sid:
Sid is basically "just there". He's not too bright, never really gets
into any trouble because he doesn't have the attention span to do so. Loves
Patrick almost as much as Nancy and loves Nancy. Loves Bob only because he
forgets that Bob is mean to him. When Sid snuggles, he snuggles big and
purrs loud. Very sweet and kind. I always say that Sid has a good heart.
