I agree on this, in terms of personal perception, but I think it's because I have had a few cats over the years. Cats just kind of looked "grey cat, white cat, stripey cat" to me, with my cat being different and special because I got used to their shape and coloring. Another cat, more distinguishing features become pronounced/observable. Repeat, until now I'm semiconsciously noting facial structure, standard eye dilation, ear size and shape, paunch, pattern, fur texture with every cat I see.
Additionally, the number of cats I come across where I go, "whoa, that's a cool cat" can only go up, and years seem to go faster over time.
