Proximity to the sea and ports has deprived these cats of fear of water. Hoping to get a part of the catch, the Aegean cats often hung around the local fishermen. In addition, these animals are excellent fishermen and born hunters, and this is an important difference between the Aegean and many other breeds.

In a house where small rodents cause trouble, Aegeans become indispensable helpers. However, this advantage of them can easily turn out to be a disadvantage for the owners. So, if the house already has a pet (for example, a parrot, a lizard or a hamster), then the Egean will constantly look for a way to get to them.

Today, the Aegean cat breed is distinguished by activity and high intelligence. However, they do not respond well to training. The Aegean cat is very playful. In the absence of live targets, she will enthusiastically attack various objects in the house. And if you are by nature a calm and balanced person who loves order in everything, and strictly adheres to the principle that everything has its place, then get ready for the fact that the Aegean cat will shake your traditional foundations. Playful and restless, these cats are able to turn everything upside down.
