It's some kind of Stapeliad (Orbea or Huernia)

Definitely a Stapeliad. My best guess is Huernia schneideriana, but you need flowers to know for certain.

Thank you to all who responded. =D>

The person who gave it to me said; A favorite succulent plant, it blooms all year with burgundy flowers, does not like full sun, propagates easily; looks like a cactus, but no stickers whatsoever.

This is a blurry picture she took showing the flower.

Your flower image didn't show properly. However the description of a burgundy flower is consistent with H. schneideriana.

I can see the 1st (orig) photo. A few posts down, it just says "image" at the bottom of your post. I'm on my laptop. Did you upload the blurry flower pic? Are you using a phone to post, ricshaw? Either way, seems you've gotten your ID. :)
