I've seen so many documentaries on cats it's not even funny.
There something about my calico that always reminded me of a cheetah. SHe's a little plump now, but when I rescued her at 5 months I called her "Spagetti Kitten" because she was thin and long legged and ran like like crazy whenever she got outside. Her face is sort of like a cheetah's too, with a roundish, petite face, a short nose and how her eyes and ears are.
My black and white female's like a leopard in how she's built. She's built like a tank for a female cat, and she has really dominating eyes. She's also a loner.
My tabby male reminds me of lion the way he carries himself, and how he sits. He has a very dignified, regal look about him. By far he's the most social of my cats. And there's this thing about him assuming some female (that would be me) is always going to bring him food.
My tonk's most like a snow leopard, because he's whitish/greyish, smallish and has big fluffy paws and an extra long, fluffy tail for his size.
Yeah that's a bit off topic but hey you wanted more about pets cats, so there you go!
