Dutch Cat
This is a cat named Mona that was staying in the same apartment as me in Amsterdam. While sleeping, it was the cutest cat in the world, as you can clearly see. While awake, it made a point to go exactly where I didn't want it to go. For example, walking along clothes on a drying rack with really sharp claws or trying to walk into the refrigerator as I'm closing the door. It also liked to make very abrupt movements. Like darting across the room right in front of you especially when you didn't expect it. Not knowing anything about animal behavior, I did a google search for why cats rub against you, which this cat did a lot of. Answer: to make you smell like the cat so that other cats know you're taken. In other words, it's marking you as it's territory. Not of all my behavioral questions were answered on the internet. For example, why does this cat love side-load washing machines:You may have noted that I only refer to animals using gender neutral pronouns, such as "it" and "this cat". While there is no doubt that animals are female or male, I feel that the terms "she" and "he" are very personifying.
