Jade behaves exactly like a human being - with emotions, compassions, sentiments, feelings, love, dignity, pride, affection and even affectation. Of course, she can be domineering at times, but is never oppressive. She is friendly not only to human beings, but also to many other animals including many tom cats and a few fox cubs. She likes Brian, a black cat, the most but dislikes Brad, a piebald cat, who follows Jade almost everywhere.
