Our boys (brothers) are as different as nigh and day. Mr. Bean has hyperthiroid also and is holding at 8 pounds. That does not keep him from hunting rabit, duck, rats the size of Vermont, and anything else that he can pounce on. Monty is a chicken-sh*t who loves to torment the dog and sleep between our pillows. Both boys love to hop on the side of the tub and take a drink of my bathwater (as long as there isn't any smell-good stuff in it and I chase them away). We are well trained cat people - that's for sure.
