This is my cat, his name is Pop, or soon - Thorn. This nickname is not intentional, because he is a silent cat, he has a congenital paralysis of the vocal cords. He did not soften, but hissed.
We took it from the volunteers, I persuaded my husband, he said: cat voice! Gift of destiny! Since then he lives with us.
The absence of a cat's voice compensates for the various mimicry on the face.
He's a little trained: if you throw a rubber band from his hair, and give the command "Bring Mom a Mouse", he's carrying elastic rubber in his teeth. No, he does not learn this from dogs, on the contrary, dogs learn from it.
With the dog, they live peacefully these days. When a small dog, a cat tears it, can push it, sleep on the face, and generally "build" it as best as it can.
That's how my heart lives. ❤️
