This is probably nonsense, but it’s a thought that keeps popping into my head. Cats don’t really act like animals that fully evolved alongside humans. Sometimes it feels more like they’re watching us rather than participating. A few things that always stood out to me: They stare at corners, ceilings, or empty rooms like something’s actually there They never fully domesticate the way dogs do — it feels more like a quiet agreement They seem strangely aware of moods, routines, and timing Ancient cultures (especially Egypt) treated them less like pets and more like guardians They often act like they know something before we do Not aliens in the little green men sense — more like observers. Something designed to quietly coexist and blend in. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this and ended up making a short clip just to get the idea out of my head. Not trying to push anything, but it shows what I mean visually: https://youtube.com/shorts/l9i5rCXksAA?si=okymWzFuG4AJVl8X I’m not claiming this is real — just a fun thought experiment. Curious what others think: Weird things your cat does that make you question reality Other animals that feel like they don’t quite “belong” here Or why this idea is complete nonsense (happy to be convinced) 👁️🐾
A cat isn’t an observer.
It’s just not performing for you the way humans do.
You’re reading intention into behavior because silence makes you uncomfortable and not because the cat is reporting to an off-world branch office.
You’re simply mistaking mystery for meaning.
If Cats were indeed aliens, we can all agree that Orange cats would at least be proof that they have some pretty strong unions.
If they had unions, humans wouldn’t be in charge of Earth right now.
Orange cats are definitely from earth.
What if consciousness is parasitic and humans are just nice primate brains we’re taking for a spin.
Yes you are right, it’s nonsense.
We can see the evolutionary path of cats. They are terrestrial.
They could sing their own version of "so long and thanks for all the fish."
When I was a kid I thought that about spiders and octopus and then that grew into the idea that earth is a melting pot of the universe’s creatures. Like somewhere out there there’s a spider planet, a dog planet, a cat planet, etc. Idk man, go look at an octopus and tell me they aren’t aliens.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that DNA is terrestrial and we can trace its evolution through fossils, octopuses would be the closest thing to aliens on Earth, since their behavior and DNA are completely outside the norm.
Absolutely fascinating creatures!
I, for one, gladly accept the fluffy sovereignty of my resident four-footed underlord.
Cats are magical. As we all know, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, so that leaves room for many interesting thoughts. Doesn't matter - floofs must be groomed, treats must be offered, play must happen. It is the way.
The sovereignty of your territory was already ceded the day the feline set foot on your property; basically, it's its house and you're its servant that comes with the house.
Then the observers are easily distracted
Space babies
If you haven’t seen the old Disney live action film The Cat From Outer Space you should.
Cats were revered by the Egyptians. They viewed them as something more than pets. Beyond that, who knows. Humans are full hubris. A lot of animals, fish, and insects could be smarter than us, and could be alien.
So this is kind of crazy but this is exactly what my cat told me one time when I was stoned. He's not an alien per se but here with the aliens. Then he told me one was coming to visit and I freaked out. Got a very strong visual impression in my mind about what was coming to visit. This is probably just because I was high, though? Honestly, it ruined our relationship.
It ruined your relationship! Wtf!
