Unlucky.
 
Everyone has access to this "power" so long as they have carpets or rugs in their home.

But the cat doesn't understand that. The microorganic colonial superintelligence living within its brain does, but the cat is just a locomotive vessel. An innocent. This means the cat is frightened by your strange and intermittent Lightning Magicks. Cats don't deserve to be hurt and afraid. From the moment of their genesis they have known the cruel lash of unnecessary suffering. Thousands of surplus cats were abandoned on the world of Toxoplasmoria as the ships left because their bioengineering facilities produced too many. These same cats still roam the hallways of Gondiian laboratories to this very day, all these many *millions of years later, without a treat or a snuggle in sight.


*cats themselves are immortal; their bodies only die here on Earth because the infesting colonies use up more energy than is normally required and it cannot be replenished.
 
Every day i come home, supercharge myself using the carpet and unleash my forcelightning upon the bane of good sleep a.k.a. my cat.
Thats what you get for howling at the moon furball.
 
Cats (and dogs) understand apologies. Do what you would normally do to apologize, speak in a soft voice and approach with your hand or whatever. Cats apologize to each other by sniffing each other after play gets too rough.

Furthermore, they will notice if you don't apologize. One time when I was younger I was moving furniture and I tipped over a catstand that the cat was still sitting on. The (normally quiet) cat jumped off and meowed at me indignantly and I froze and didn't know what to do. It took her years before she used that catstand again, but I think if I had showed apologetic body language to her she would have understood.
 
Since I got these two new blankets, I've been accidentally zapping all of my cats every time I pet them from head to tail. They're even used to it more than I am.
