notes in [brackets] are my additions, and aren't from the official guide

Energy
A not-cat's energy level indicates their preference for active versus passive tasks and activities.
High energy cats prefer to be running around, climbing, and exploring.
They may even struggle to sit still and focus on things like crafts and art.
On the other hand, low energy cats will struggle with active tasks like hunting, and will prefer to sit quietly with tasks that require more patience, such as reading and writing.

Extroversion*
A not-cat's extroversion level shows how much they like to be social and interact with other cats.
High extroversion cats are chatty, make friends easily, and like to be surrounded by the others in the village.
Low extroversion cats can be shy, aloof, and often prefer to spend their time alone.

Dedication
A not-cat's Dedication level shows how hard they work at what they are doing.
A cat with a high Dedication will get a bonus to most day jobs, whereas a cat with a low Dedication may cause cats to receive penalties.
Formalities aside, low Dedication cats can sometimes make up for their lack of desire to do chores with other positive traits, such as social skills, and not all occupations require Dedication at all.

*[beans who reach kittenhood while lonely (without littermates) will naturally have lower bravery and extroversion, so all Nestor kittens come with this stat change!]
