Because Cancers can tend to be homebodies and are also highly intuitive, a natural match for their personalities is a cat (via Country Living). A cat and a Cancer are likely to make wonderful companions, as they would both be highly in-tune with one another’s slightest shifts in mood or needs. Cancers would have the ability to respect a cat’s need for space, and also relish in the hours of quiet, contemplative cuddling that cats provide.
Cats are also quite self sufficient in many ways, and so when Cancer does feel a call to adventure, they can leave their companion overnight at home with food, water, and litter, and know that he or she will be just fine. On the other hand, they require enough care and attention to fulfill Cancer’s need to take care of another living being and to dote livingly on someone/something who will thrive under the attention and adoration.
In short, Cancers tend to make good cat people.
