Some cats prefer to be alone due to their natural temperament and personality. Other cats may be more social due to their upbringing and environment. Cats that are socialized and exposed to people from a young age are more likely to be friendly and outgoing. Additionally, cats that are kept indoors are more likely to be social, as they have less space to roam and explore. On the other hand, cats that are allowed to roam outdoors may be more independent and prefer to be alone.
