The Introverted Detective: Cat conspiracy: did the aliens already invade?

Did you ever wonder if the aliens already invaded and they live in our houses? Our cats - aliens? No, I'm not at all serious, but let's talk about it anyway.

Truthfully, I need some posts that are easy to throw together and fun to make. Cats being aliens? Sure, let's do it. Again, nothing about this post is at all serious. I just love cats and think it's a fun idea that the aliens have decided to get pampered (conquer us by being cute). Others shared that thought, according to my Google search. Let's look at what I found on this conspiracy.

Proof?

A sci-fi horror movie had the same idea. The Cat or The 1000 Years Cat is a film about cats (and some other beings) being aliens. I'm not sure what level of horror this is. I don't know how intense it is. I just know I'm not the only being on earth to ponder the question.

One of my (not serious at all) sources gives me a list of when your cat might be an alien. Let's run down the list.

1. they want to taste you

2. they change from solid to liquid

3. look uncomfortable in their own bodies

4. watch you with freaky eyes

5. they study your technology

6. look like they are telepathically communicating

7. they try and imitate spacemen

8. investigate water and its properties

Five other signs your cat is really an alien may include mind control by demanding attention. You wanted to read a book, do laundry, and just game - and then kitty notices. They control your mind to pet them and you get nothing done. Another is the solicitation purr, which can manipulate you into paying attention to only them. We are powerless to their lovable purrs. They find our weaknesses daily. The next is mistaking boxes for the mothership. They think they'll be beamed home. Yet another is the cuteness of an internet cat that could get away with anything (like all cute small kitties). Last, but never least, is the ability to see what we can't and speak at it. Are they phoning home? We'll never know.

Did you know cats in Egyptian culture were given as gifts from the gods? Also, gods were pictured as cats often. Another bit of proof is the unexplainable nature of purring, which scientists can't explain. It originates in the brain, so it isn't a specific organ.

Go take a picture of your cat when you hold their ears back. Do you need more proof? I think not. Their eyes are so much better than ours, too, but only if you want to black and white images and night vision. When cats awake and run around they might get transmission from the mother ship. What comes out of their bodies is also just strange. Hairballs are proof of that.

Cat survival is off the charts. Jump from a four-story building? Yep, still alive. They land on their feet almost all the time because of their tails. They are amazing creatures. Also, if you die and you're the only thing to eat, they will eat you.

Invasive species

Did you know cats are an invasive species? Yep, they are aliens, in the environmental sense. To be invasive you have to be nonnative and do environmental harm to other species. Cats have caused the extinction of some bird species and go after many small animals (though many of us that have gardens don't object). Indoor cats are not a problem for other species according to studies, but outdoor ones are. The ones who go hunting frequently do eliminate some species in an area.

Conclusions

No, cats aren't aliens. No, this was not serious. I just wanted to be entertained by silly cat stuff. Now you are, too. I hope you and your cat are having a great day!
