Meet Toby. This gorgeous senior cat has Virgo as his rising sign. He is an expert in finding the perfect spot to have a catnap.

VIRGO CAT

If you see a smaller-than-average little female cat fussing around rearranging its bedding or endlessly trying to clean every last scrap of soil from the underside of its claws - then giving its face another wash for luck, chances are she's a Virgo. When you catch her staring quizzically and rather critically directly into your face, you'll know for sure. This is not going to be a pushover relationship.

Your Virgo cat lays down the ground rules and is very particular indeed about whose settee she curls up on or whose hands she will permit to stroke her. She absolutely hates being picked up and spends ages trying to tidy herself up again afterwards. But once she has found a human who can measure up to her needs and expectations, she's a one-person cat.

Often, Virgo cats smell very sweet - with a hint of parma violet in their fur. And they often look as if they are wearing two pairs of white gloves.
