yeah pretty much this. i also have a black cat and he's pretty smart. he understands basic commands like "come here" but he actually does it about 30-50% of the time. most of the time he just makes eye contact and is like "wtf is your problem, i was just going in the other direction" and then continues walking there. that means he lives his own life and makes his own decisions. also it is pretty nice when he comes on his own and demands ear-scratches. a dog is like a flesh drone, you drop a command and he drops whatever he's doing and runs to you like mindless robot. > muh toxoplasmosis makes you say that he's 100% indoor cat, and has been tested, he's clean.
