I am cats. Ask me Nothing

cats can be thought of as modular software. Most cats have the basics installed such as staring and the meow and then there is a set of additional features, about a dozen, such as cat hugs, the butt/ribs/head rub, kneading etc. And then there are the rare features of which there are usually one or two at most, such as walking on hind legs or blue stripes. Beyond that very little maintenance or updates are necessary.

You'd think the meow is a standard feature, but I've had a cat that would make the exact motion you'd expect for a meow, but no sound was ever produced. I thought it was funny at first, then after a few months I started to wonder if something was wrong with her. The vet took a look at her and said structurally everything looked fine, so she had no idea why she doesn't make any sound when she meows. She never did meow, and I never discovered why, but she kept making the motions for a meow like a normal cat, so I'd just assume she was meowing when she did it so I would ask her what she needed.

Was there another cat that dressed up in black and trolled the spanish government in your house?
 
That's the correct answer. My cat loved shoving things off the table when I was on the phone. He did it for the sheer fact that he was no longer the center of attention.
I love when a cat will stare you straight in the eye and then knock something off a table. And by "love" I mean "goddamn you you evil little monster!"

When this happens it erases any and all doubt you have that your cat knows exactly what it is doing with absolute intent and that the cat knows that you are aware that it knows exactly what it is doing. After that there can be no doubt that your cat is an asshole and it is completely by choice.

Occasionally I drop a teacup to shatter on the floor. On purpose. I’m not satisfied when it doesn’t gather itself up again. Someday, perhaps a cup will come together.

What I’m really doing if it’s not clear is flexing that my cat loves me enough to let me kiss his belly.
My previous cat, god rest her soul, loved belly rubs and kisses. She would even let me use her belly as a pillow. I miss that furry little bastard so much. My current cat is very protective of her belly but I still steal belly kisses when I can.
