　　We already know that cats can be as neurotic as their owners are, but just how deep are the personality ties between felines and the humans who look after them?

　　我们已经知道了猫可以和他们的主人一样神经质，但是主人和宠物之间的性格相关度到底多高呢?

　　Pretty deep, according to new research from scientists in the UK, who found that personality traits of cat owners correlated with related behaviours exhibited by their pets – suggesting that, to some extent, your cat might be absorbing and mirroring aspects of your own personality.

　　英国科学家的研究显示，相当高。他们发现猫主人的性格特征与宠物表现出的相关行为是相互关联的，这表明，在某种程度上，你的猫可能在学习和模仿你自己性格的方方面面。
