See if you can figure the constitutional type of my new kitten who arrived two days ago.
Despite that he is another species, te SAME issues will apply to a child with this constitutional type.
Here are the features and clues, (questions may be asked for more info if you wish).
I am Including two photos to help.

Leo is three months old. By age two months he was the biggest of six kittens born to a very small cat (5 lbs). He is male like the smallest of the litter. The four girls are varied sizes, the biggest is now a tad bit bigger than Leo at age three months. (Hint: she is a faster growing teen than Leo)

He has huge ears compared to the others in the litter. (Hint: He will grow into them and they will soon look normal)
His paws are quite big. (.....think bigger shoe size than average)
He loves lying on the bed, stretched out and sometimes on his back. It is his main choice of place to be.
He purrs louder than any other cat I know, and that is saying something.
He purrs a lot, even between growling at the other cat.

On meeting a larger cat (my other cat is 15lbs) he growls, and hisses with mouth open - loudly, in a bossy way even though this is fear behavior - allows her close to him but not too close..
If she comes closer he will karate chop her with claws out in the face.
The rest of the time he keeps his pristinely tended claws well sheathed and plays with soft paws, no sign of a claw.
His white feet get kept totally snow white, if they accidentally get a cobweb or some such on them.
He runs in bunny hop style on very long legs.
He is a bit clumsy, he has knocked over my coffee once and my water bottle twice, he has missed when trying to jump onto the piano keyboard, though it is not high for his long legs.
My bed is only 17 inches off the floor but he lands with a thud.
He is slim looking but feels like it is all lead when you lift him, he is very solid.
His bones are strong, not flimsy feeling.
His back legs, back length and tail length are all equal.
(Hint: In cats this means he is not long-bodied nor short-bodied but has average body to long legs and average tail.)
Back legs are longer than front ones so he looks like his back goes downhill to the base of neck.
(HInt: In people long legs but less long arms).
He has a slighty prominent sternum bone top of chest.
His chest and hips are moderate width, chest is quite deep.
He is happy to be on a lap.
He comes when you call his name, purring away.
He is fastidious with his grooming, litter habits and tidiness.
He is not fussy what kind of litter he gets or what kind of food he gets, he is very easy going not a picky type at all about food, litter etc, just about grooming matters.
He explored the entire house right away.
Shakes his feet when they accidentally get wet.
He gets on fine with all the cats and humans where he grew up and he slept on the bed with the owners.
He played well with his siblings.
He is reluctant to jump high - for example he loves to chase a laser light but will not jump up a door for it even to a height he can reach standing against the door.
He carries his tail flagpole style, with maybe a small curve in the end.
He eats more than twice what my 15 lb cat eats, I suspect he plans to get a lot bigger:-)
His tail is expressive, it waves about as he walks, purrs, etc. (Hint: Physical show off.)
Pictures below will show facial expression, eye color, fur color, overall proportions, tabby pattern etc

What is his innate constitutional type (ICT) ?

Could it be Pulsatilla.. Said once they liked feet firmly planted on ground. Also sleeps on back. Pulsatilla does not like looking up?/
Do not know about holding his tail very high.
Anyhow just a thought to say Thank you for all tuition you give, Jean

[Irene de Villiers]
