Breed differences in non-social behaviour in logistic regression analyses. The letterings indicate groups (false discovery rate corrected P > 0.5 between breeds within the same group) that significantly differ (FDR corrected P < 0.05 between breeds in different groups) from other breed groups. Cornish Rex cats, Korats, and Bengals had the highest probability for high activity level (a). Russian Blue cats had the highest probability for shyness towards strangers (b). House cats, Norwegian Forest Cats, Turkish Vans and Maine Coons had the highest probability for wool sucking (c), and Burmese and Oriental cats were the most likely to groom excessively (d). Oriental and Persian cats were most likely to display an owner-evaluated behaviour problem (e). Error bars indicate 95% confidence limits. N = 4925 (wool sucking), N = 5683 (excessive grooming), N = 5550 (owner-evaluated behaviour problem), and N = 5726 (rest). ABY = Abyssinian, Somali, and Ocicat, BEN = Bengal, BRI = British Shorthair, BUR = Burmese and Burmilla, CRX = Cornish Rex, DRX = Devon Rex, EUR = European Shorthair, HCS = house cat, KOR = Korat, MCO = Maine Coon, NFO = Norwegian Forest Cat, ORI = Balinese, Oriental Longhair, Oriental Shorthair, Seychellois Longhair, Seychellois Shorthair, and Siamese, PER = Persian and Exotic, RAG = Ragdoll, RUS = Russian Blue, SBI = Saint Birman, SIB = Siberian and Neva Masquerade, TUV = Turkish Van and Angora.
