Do they seem like they have more interesting fur textures, colors, face shape and floof levels than when we were kids?

    I agree on this, in terms of personal perception, but I think it’s because I have had a few cats over the years. Cats just kind of looked “grey cat, white cat, stripey cat” to me, with my cat being different and special because I got used to their shape and coloring. Another cat, more distinguishing features become pronounced/observable. Repeat, until now I’m semiconsciously noting facial structure, standard eye dilation, ear size and shape, paunch, pattern, fur texture with every cat I see.

    Additionally, the number of cats I come across where I go, “whoa, that’s a cool cat” can only go up, and years seem to go faster over time.

      Lmao. I was gonna say I’m like the song “girl watcher” but for cats - just a song I vaguely remember but often sing the chorus “I’m a cat watcher”.

      But I looked up the song, and holy hot dogshit that’s some bad writing. Move over big bopper

      The O’kaysions Miscellaneous Girl Watcher Girl Watcher The O’Kaysions (Buck Trail/Wayne Pittman)

      Chorus:

      I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher… Watchin’ girls go by, hey, my my I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher… Here comes one now I was just a boy when I threw away my toys And found a new pastime to dwell on Whenever I detects them there of the other sex I play the game I do so well on

      [repeat chorus]

      Hello there female my my, but you do look swell Could you please walk a little slower Wonder if you know that you’re putting on a show Could you please walk a little closer
