Someone said that cats are the furthest animal from the human model. It depends upon what breed of humans you are referring to, and of course what cats. I find cats uncannily human on occasion.
In 1963 Ian Sommerville and I had just moved into the house at 4 calle Larachi in Tangier. Several cats assemble in the open door, slinking back and forth but afraid to come within reach. One white cat inches forward. I put out my hand. The cat arches his back, moving back and forth and purring under my hand as cats have done since the first cat was tamed.
The other cats growl and whine in protest: "Front-office brown nose!"
