My cats are my friends, and not because I am autistic, because they don't know what autism is.

When I was a teenager, my best friend was a spoiled Persian princess named Zum Zum.

Mine are named Josie, Tatou and Nemo, no special breed, but special to me.
A great bit spoiled I guess compared to animals in wild-life :D

I thought Kraftie meant a human princess, lol. I guess I should have known better since no one calls the country Persia anymore. Do they...?

The language spoken by many in Iran (which was called Persia until about 1935) is usually called Persian.

Yep, Eloa: I tend to like "domestic shorthairs" myself. Domestic shorthairs are also called "alleycats" in the United States.

In German it says: Wald-und-Wiesenkatze, translation might be: forrest and-grassland-cat, but in the translator I did not find a translation, expression is not existing, but the cats do exist.

I remember in middle school these 3 girls would always try to be my friend, I guess, because I was a lonely piece of crap (middle school was the nadir of my life). Then again, I was pretty much a zombie.

Otherwise, no.

Has anybody ever seen that "Fancy Feast" commercial/advert--with that spoilt white Persian who is so fussy about what goes into her stomach?

I believe cats could relate to autistic people--and be excellent friends with autistic people--because they have autistic traits: especially when it comes to adjusting to new environments.

I had a Domestic Shorthair/Alleycat named Floyd. In most things, he was very dog-like and NT; however, when we moved to another apartment, Floyd just hid under the bed for a whole week; he wouldn't come out to eat. I wonder if he was actually stimming while he was underneath that bed!

I figured out Domestic Shorthair,
I can only process tekst bit by bit,
it means "Hauskatze" in my native language.
I think that the expression I used is more like local expression, but I am not sure about it.
It's late night here, I go to bed.
