Can I use "capricious" to describe a cat?

Is this correct and natural?

Judy is a curious, capricious and cunning cat.
 
I don't think I call a cat "capricious", but I like the alliteration.

You could also say: "Judy is a curious, clever and cunning cat."

Most cats don't know "capricious," but they do know "clever". 😊
 
As a cat provider (the term 'owner' raises uncomfortable questions regarding who's really in charge), I can confirm.that 'capricious' perfectly summarizes cat mentality.

Some more so than others, but all have the genome.
