Happy International Cat Day! To celebrate we’ve matched up Disney cats with their likely Zodiac signs so that you can finally find out which Disney cat you are -- because we know you’ve been dying to know.
ARIES: March 21 - April 19
Simba | The Lion King
Element: Fire
Strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, passionate
Weaknesses: Impatient, moody, aggressive
Simba has a temper and can be a bit impulsive at times but he is a fire sign, after all. Besides, that same fire also gives him endless energy, bravery, and leadership skills. The dynamic combination makes him an Aries fit to beat his evil uncle and take back a kingdom that’s rightfully his.
TAURUS: April 20 - May 20
Marie | The Aristocats
Element: Earth
Strengths: Practical, devoted, responsible, perseverance
Weaknesses: Stubborn, possessive, uncompromising, materialistic
An Earth-sign, Marie is practical and more conservative and is not afraid to speak her mind about it -- she’s always ready to tattle on her brothers when they’re being irresponsible. She’s head-strong and righteous but she’s also a huge romantic who loves love. We wouldn’t expect anything less from a Taurus in pink bows.
GEMINI: May 21 - June 20
Cheshire | Alice in Wonderland
Element: Air
Strengths: Gentle, curious, adaptable, quick-witted
Weaknesses: Inconsistent, indecisive, restless
Cheshire cat can literally adapt to any environment with his body-morphing abilities and we never know if he’s a protagonist or antagonist because he cleverly flip-flops throughout the film, never revealing his true nature. Inconsistency and mystery are classic signs of a Gemini and just like the air sign, Cheshire does it all with a mischievous smile.
CANCER: June 21 - July 22
Rajah | Aladdin
Element: Water
Strengths: Loyal, tenacious, emotional
Weaknesses: Moody, suspicious, pessimistic
Cancer-born are extremely sensitive and difficult to get close to because, just like this tiger with Princess Jasmine’s many suitors, they’re often skeptical about everyone they meet. When it comes to their loved ones they’re incredibly loyal but also overprotective and slightly clingy. Luckily for Rajah, that’s the exact type of best friend Princess Jasmine wants right beside her.
LEO: July 23 - August 22
Thomas O’Malley | The Aristocats
Element: Fire
Strengths: Passionate, generous, creative, humorous
Weaknesses: Arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy
Leos have pretty big egos as well as massive desires for personal growth but their humor, slyness and confidence creates an attractiveness that’s difficult to resist. In addition to them being easily admired, they are compassionate and generous, making them natural-born leaders. Try to tell us Thomas O’Malley isn’t a Leo.
VIRGO: August 23 - September 22
Duchess | The Aristocats
Element: Earth
Strengths: Analytical, kind, methodical, loyal
Weaknesses: Shyness, worry, self-critical
An Earth sign, just like her daughter, Duchess is put-together and practical, but unlike her daughter, she is a bit more graceful and modest about it all. She tries to ensure her kittens are raised with poise and good manners and is very loyal to her owner. Just like a Virgo, she is cautious and protective but also tender and sweet.
LIBRA: September 23 - October 22
Mufasa | The Lion King
Element: Air
Strengths: Diplomatic, cooperative, gracious, social
Weaknesses: People-pleaser, avoids confrontations
Libras are all about balance, just like the beloved Mufasa. They are responsible and care deeply about maintaining respect amongst all creatures; however, this desire to keep the peace and please everyone can often lead Libras into getting stuck in tricky situations *cough* like getting killed by an evil brother.
SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21
Nala | The Lion King
Element: Water
Strengths: Resourceful, brave, passionate
Weaknesses: Stubborn, distrusting, jealous
Calm, cool and mysterious on the outside but burning with passion on the inside, Nala portrays a Scorpio perfectly. You better run and hide if you ever betray her trust, or even just get into an argument with her, but treat her right and she’ll be the most loyal, trustworthy and determined friend you’ll ever have.
SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 21
Tigger | Winnie the Pooh
Element: Fire
Strengths: Enthusiastic, idealistic, optimistic, extrovert
Weaknesses: Impatient, careless, blunt
With an endless amount of energy and a curious yearning to experience everything, Tigger is definitely a Sagittarius. His enthusiasm can sometimes turn into recklessness and thoughtlessness but everyone who really knows this fire sign knows it’s all in good fun and they never have malicious intent.
CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 19
Bagheera | The Jungle Book
Element: Earth
Strengths: Responsible, disciplined, self-reliant, practical
Weaknesses: Uptight, know-it-all, pessimistic
Bagheera gets painted out as the condescending, uptight character in The Jungle Book but that’s just the Earth sign jumping out. Bagheera may not be the most wild or thrilling character but he’s the responsible and reliable figure Mowgli needs. We all need a little Capricorn stability in our lives.
AQUARIUS: January 20 - February 18
Mittens | Bolt
Element: Air
Strengths: Independent, analytical, original
Weaknesses: Temperamental, detached, uncompromising
Aquarius-born typically like to spend most of their time alone and have a hard time expressing feelings which often leads people to believe they’re cold and removed, much like our girl Mittens over here. Mittens is short-tempered but smart and uses her smarts on the streets because her Aquarius fear of authority and constrainment keeps her from ever wanting to be owned again.
PISCES: February 19 - March 20
Oliver | Oliver & Company
Element: Water
Strengths: Compassionate, gentle, intuitive, imaginative
Weaknesses: Overly trusting, naïve, fearful, commonly a victim
This tiny guy has a heart full of kindness and care -- perhaps a little too full for his own good. His innocence and jump to trust others often leads him into bad situations which is on-brand Pisces material. But also Pisces material is his friendliness, empathy and faithfulness which makes it easy for others to love him dearly.
