I’ve picked up three tabby cats one after another and raised two of the female ones. Personally, I feel that the obvious differences between them and other cats lie in their strong learning, imitating abilities and athletic prowess.
When they were about two months old (estimated), they could get on and off the bed and climb the curtain rod by themselves. At four months, they could climb onto and down from the fridge. By six months, they could handle the wardrobe.
Actually, at first, one of them could only climb up the curtain rod but not get down. When she couldn’t get down, she would meow for someone to pick her up. One day, I had a whim. When she asked me to pick her up again, I stood on a stool and jumped onto the bed several times. After that, she learned to jump onto the bed.
Seeing me open the door, she learned to open it.
Seeing me open the window, she learned to open it too (which scared me so much that I immediately bought a child lock).
Watching me open the drawer, she learned to open it.
Seeing me drink water from a cup, the two of them insisted on drinking from a cup too (yes, they have their own cups).
Seeing me drink through a straw, they also tried to use a straw (of course, they couldn’t drink. 2333). And I’m sure they were trying to drink water, not just biting the straw. When I took the straw out, they went to drink water and stopped biting the straw.
Watching me type, one of them fell in love with stepping on the keyboard. She could play with my mechanical keyboard for one or two hours by herself.
In winter, at night, they would burrow into people’s quilts to sleep. During the day, when sleeping on the sofa, they would call someone over to cover them with a quilt. Both of them did this!
They slept in the same posture as I did, just like Ge You’s slouching pose…
Also, they have good constitutions. Except for neutering, vaccinations and physical examinations, they’ve never been to the hospital. On cold winter days, they would watch the scenery on the balcony, hiss at passers-by and scold dogs. I watched one of them on the balcony for more than ten minutes, and my nose was running from the cold.
In terms of personality, all three cats were extremely fierce when seeing strangers, but after meeting them three or four times, they became extremely clingy.

I mainly talked about their instant actions. Usually, I don’t have the habit of taking photos. I’ll gradually post some pictures when I take them later.
First, here are a few pictures for you to enjoy (ㅍ_ㅍ)
My younger sister sleeps in the crook of my arm every night.
She fell asleep on the sofa. Since the quilt was being washed, she had to sleep without it.
My elder sister’s nest on the bay window, one of the bases for hissing at passers-by and scolding dogs.
The blue towel under her is one of her quilts. At this moment, she’s lying on her stomach, watching the scenery and hissing at passers-by.
When a person lies on the sofa, a cat will appear.
The first thing my younger sister does when she wakes up is to knead on me to wake me up.
When I call her name while warming myself by the fire, she turns around and gives a wink.
The sleeping faces of the cats are really! Cute!
Sleeping until her tongue sticks out.
She drinks so much. One cup of water every day.
