Aslıhans are mammals which are primarily found on the Anatolian peninsula in Western
Asia and on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Their appearance is purely human, still scientists argue that they are at least partly related to members of the species “felis” (cat). Ben et
al.
2019 observed several behavioral patterns which support this hypothesis. They found Aslıhans biting and licking members of their group in play. Furthermore, they observed that Aslıhans preferred to sleep in the laps of
humans. However, the most convincing argument in support of the half-cat theory is Aslıhans behavior towards members of the other species. When a cat is present, Aslıhans will almost certainly touch it. Ben et
al. reported several cases where Aslıhans have been observed to touch a cat when it was reluctant, even attacking the Aslıhan. They conclude that the desire to touch
cats is a subconscious pattern that cannot be actively controlled. Possibly, this an evolutionary mechanism to ensure that cat-
ness is transferred to the Aslıhan in regular intervals. Without it, Aslıhans would turn into
humans – and who likes
humans anyway?
1) Today I saw a black Aslıhan. - Oh no
dude! This means one year of bad luck!
2) The other day, my Aslıhan fell. It turned
mid-air and landed straight on its
feet. Then it lay on the couch.
3) Happy Birthday, Aslıhan! :***
