1. It's like an (almost) 1-dimensional box!

8. Well, a 2-dimensional box.

For cat to occupy a 1-dimensional space, said feline would have to be absolutely linear (possessing only length, but not width or depth), and therefore invisible when viewed at most angles...

...which would be a pretty neat trick, even for a cat.

15. But their duties are only ceremonial. Nothing to worry about... maybe...

14. Cats are feng shui masters. They always find the most advantageous spot. Like the middle of the bed.

Also, in their function as passive solar energy collectors they place their bodies to get maximum sun for purposes of energy storage. Or for heat. Or hoping to get a suntan that never quite arrives.

I'd guess too, that they place themselves in order to get the best range to connect with their off world alien masters for which they are spying upon us. It's why they want to go outside at night for better reception. They are alien camcorders.

Are Cats Spies Sent by Aliens? A Deep Examination of One of the Internet's Best Conspiracy Theories



1. There is no documentation before ancient Egypt that mentions the existence of cats. And in ancient Egypt, they were worshipped as gifts from the gods...

The 'gods' are aliens from outer space, get it?

2. Science is baffled by a cat's purr, and cannot determine how the sound is produced. (Feedback, much?)...

A rhythmic, repetitive neural oscillator [in the brain] sends messages to the laryngeal muscles, causing them to twitch at the rate of 25 to 150 vibrations per second (Hz). This causes a sudden separation of the vocal cords, during both inhalation and exhalation - the unique feline vibrato...

That's the frequency the aliens transmit on, right?

3. If you hold a cat's ears back and describe what you see, it is a perfect match to the classic “grey alien,” with its almond-shaped eyes, small mouth, and small nose...

Well, of course they are.

4. A cat can see exponentially better than you. Making it appear that it must be more advanced evolutionarily speaking. How?

The extrapolated version of this, as I’ve gathered from other cat-as-alien-spy internet detritus, says that cats stare at us with those big eyes because they are, in fact, alien cameras, recording and beaming our actions back to the grey aliens that put them here. I can’t find any evidence of anything but standard neuronal circuitry in a cat’s brain, but one never knows. We humans have recently managed to build a computer out of living cells, so who knows what alien technology may be hidden in the feline brain?

Of course aliens are more advanced than we are. It's part of the reason they are sneaky and stuff. They know a load of dumb oafs are in charge of Earth. I mean really, the planet is named after dirt? C'mon now.



Cat beaming radio transmission off city structures. There is a reason they say the net was built for cat pictures. Most likely all of creation was built for some special reason. If you only knew...

5. Ever watch a cat wake from a deep sleep and run out of the room in an instant? Transmissions from the mothership coming in, and they must be alone...

Only an card-carrying oaf would deny it and you can't cure stupid:



See, the cat said so, and I believe it and that's all there is to it. Remember to behave for your overlords and you may be spared horror in the future.

Like them peeing on your pillow. It has happened to people I know. And yes, it was in revenge.

Now that you 'know' that they're sending images through the ether, and someone is watching you, the question is:

Will you still undress in front of your cat and give off world voyeurs a free peep show?

17. the cat with the yellow and blue eyes. so pretty.

[freshwest]

19. That's how they seduce you, of course. Like this handsome gent:

Clearly a communist.



They expect laundry service.



And cheeseburgers.

Makes purrfect sense to me
