This cat behaved so unlike any other cat I ever had. For a start, it
rarely ever meowed, instead, it cooed like a pigeon. It also had those
thick horizontal long hairs in the ears, perhaps you can see them in
the first pic. It was also extremely smart. It had a very strange
personality, as if it wasn't a cat, sometimes more like a dog,
sometimes even like a human. Although owned from being an 8wk old
kitten, born in an animal shelter, it never seemed willing to be
treated as a pet. It felt as if it insisted on being treated as an
equal. I know all cats are perhaps like that, but this one was an order
of a magnitude more so than any other i'd come across, and I grew up
with families of them. For example, it'd never come close and rub its
body against your leg, in fact, knowing it, that was unthinkable. It
didn't want to be petted, but enjoyed playfighting. It liked going out
on walks, just like dogs, and it walked along with you as you can see
in the second picture. Sometimes if the walk entailed an exciting field
it ran energetically around it and if you called it it ran back to you.
You'd have to see how it'd run across the field back to you when you
called it, just like a dog! And something about it was quite mature,
even from very young age. It's like it considered itself a human,
wanted to stay with humans, and looked at other animals as if they were
lowly, stupid and immature. It's hard to describe, you'd have had to
experience it in person to feel how different it was from other cats.
