Summoner Cat question -- starter cats

[QueenSheba]

Ok so I am aware that later on we have NPCs that can alter the looks of our cat in every aspect, so I was just wondering if which one we choose at the beginning of the game has any permanent impact on the pet. A friend I had asked said something to the effect of "it determines the cat's mannerisms and voice" but I'm not sure if that is true/accurate, and I'm not sure my cat has ever spoken (aside from the introduction at the start of the game). 

 

Does anyone know?

Yes, the only thing that remains is the personality of the cat and her voice, anything else doesn't really matter since you can change it whenever you want as long as you have the silver/gold for it.

But what exactly does the personality affect in game? Like the way they walk/run? Their combat stance? or what? What does the cat do that ever shows personality? When do they speak?

[Majesty]

The cats you can pick from in the beginning are only for looks. The personality doesn't effect the game either, and you only see it when you first talk to them. They don't ever speak after you first talk to them.

Ok thank you both.

That's nice to know. I knew I could change the looks, but I picked my cat based on the personality and voice, hoping that would be a permanent feature. :)
