I too have observed the differences of personalities in cats. I have been a life long felinophile and had many cats for pets. Currently I have two, one is dominant the other submissive.
My hauty Domme kitty always eats first, while my mischievious yet, wuite submissive kitty waits patiently for ehr turn at the food dish. There is room for both, in fact they each have their own dish, though thsi has never occured to either of them. My subby kitty waits patiently, sitting on her haunches quietly until her spuerior has had her fill. THen as the Dominant turns away from the dishes she licks her whiskers and the subby always gives her a good face gooming and waits for the DOminat to wander off to her cushiionin a sunbeam before taking her own turn at breakfast.
THen throughout the day while they do their cat things, chasing one another. Always letting the Dominant win the chases and bat the submissive one around in a playful feline way. Depending on the mood of the Dominant the batting about can be playful or it can be rather rough. Either way seems to please both participants in thier mutual conscentual relationship.
When us mere humans deem to take them outside, the Dominant rushes forward, to sniff the grass and patrol Her territory like the queen on a royal progress. The submissive following her mistress' steps, keeping an eye out for maurauding dogs of foul repute and other such inferior creature such as birds that could anoy her Mistress. Should any of these creatures dare to enter the queendom the submissive will challenge them, under the eye of the DOminant, whose power and strenght empower the submissive's threats.
Once the royal parade has been completed, the Dominant will lounge in a suitable patch of grass and the submissive will, at the whim of the Dominant, either take a great care in grooming her liege or chase down rogue insects to bring in her mouth to the dominant for them both to chase and torture to death.
Then as the sunsets the Dominant will demand to return to her comforts and will lead her submissive back into home where she can nap and be gromed by her pet after a hard day's outing on the royal progress.
Yes, they really do do this. And yes, we did get a "pet", for our house pet.
And yes, I love them both dearly.
