seals
In La Jolla, at the "Childrens Pool", the harbor seals come onto the beach to rest. This started years ago, and now there are enough of them that it has turned into a free tourist attraction. The area where the seals are is roped off so people won't disturb them. It is actually pretty amazing how much people respect the message to leave them alone (then again, they stink, and they have very sharp teeth, and carry parasites and bacteria that are very dangerous to people.)
We visited them on Christmas Day, and in spite of the day and the bad weather, there were hundreds of other people visiting them too.
They are very catlike, in that they spend most of their time napping, and have great whiskers. The older seals ignore people, but the young ones kept staring at us.
