Broken down by axis
Activity range 86pts
Both hold their own spot, so territory divides cleanly. Once each has the place they like, they mostly ignore each other and stay relaxed.
Daily rhythm 80pts
Meals, play, and sleep fall at similar hours, so the daily routine is easy to match. Running hunting play at the same time leaves both satisfied.
Startle response 78pts
They register change at different speeds, so the less jumpy one sets the tone. Once it comes out to look around, the other tends to follow.
Contact style 58pts
They keep a similar approach distance, which invites standoffs over bowls and litter boxes. Run one more litter box than you have cats, and keep the bowls apart.
Axis meanings and weights differ from human MBTI compatibility, so the same letter pair scores differently for people, dogs, and cats.
