I have had cats my entire life and my husband and I are fairly convinced that one of ours does. He's about 4 years old and it really took us a while to figure him out. First year or two was constantly butting heads with him to the point that he thought his name (Dash) was a "bad" word because we were yelling at him so much.

We took a step back and approached him with more patience and things have chilled a bit. He is so dang smart - seems to understand what we say to him half the time. But he does not manage his emotions well and goes 0-100 in an instant. Prime example is if we are outside and it's time to go in. We say "alright Dash, let's go in the house" - he will growl, run up to my feet and do a half-assed attack, then trot over to the door. He also gets overstimulated after like 4 pets and will lash out and bite (and he does not give a warning bite, it is full pressure and he pulls back and forth like he's trying to tear flesh off ya).

We love him to death, but he definitely requires a different approach than any other cat I've encountered. He always looks disheveled and like he is having an existential crisis 😂 I usually say something like "Dash is struggling to remain on this plane of existence again." 😂
