Well, of course she was, because “judge” is every cat’s middle name.
Back in the 90s, I had a cat who hid in our cedar hedge as we were about to go out to dinner one day. We didn’t take long to find him sat in there just watching us as we called him to come in (he actually usually did come when called). My aunt was shocked he ignored us, because, why not, he didn’t want to come in as yet. 😂
