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

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

But on the other hand- I just love watching/meeting random cats lol it’s definitely expanded my sense of what’s possible cat-wise
