She really is Lynx, cats aren't slavish like dogs, they KNOW they're our equals in ways that matter to them. Cats are actually more intelligent than dogs, much more as they have multitasking/skills brains like humans. We're told big brains are better but what really matters are the number/efficacy of network pathways connecting the neurons. Think you'd love the film Kedi [2016], it's lovely and shows how wild cats live in Istanbul, where they are very much loved for sure. Back in '16 they were welcomed even in restaurants, wonder if that's changed since '20. The subtitles are in Turkish but the video of Kedi on odysee is very watchable:

Anyway, my little darling is 10 now and she's actually even more beautiful. She obviously has very recent Persian heritage, which is great for her looks but sucks for her health, heart and waterwork issues. Her quality of life is really good, she isn't obviously affected by her issues but probably will become so as she gets older. I'd do the right thing by her and during the summer, i shave her fur as it's so thick and long. There's a very slender, incredibly youthful looking li'l Princess under all that fur, she looks gorgeous and clearly feels good.
As you can probably tell, i love her to bits, she is really intelligent and a very strong character. I'll tell her you thought she's gorgeous
