What Far Galaxy Do Cats Come From?

Men, it is said, are from Mars and women from Venus but what planet in the Solar System could ever account for the behaviour of cats? I have come to the conclusion that they are aliens who have travelled to us from a far and yet undiscovered galaxy. They have a sophisticated language of their own comprised of attitude, facial expression and subtle tail movements and they appear to expect that we humans can read their thoughts. We must seem incredibly stupid and dumb-witted to them, especially when we misinterpret their clear demands for food, 'out' and other attentions. Humans have named only two constellations after the cat family - Leo and Lynx - even though cats have been worshipped as gods since ancient times. Perhaps, somewhere, there are a pair of galaxies with almond-shaped dark centres shining as a cat's eyes do in the dark!

well the Greeks would lay claim to them maybe, but not sure where they come from in outer space.

I'm not sure that the Greeks worshipped cats or held them in awe (unlike owls, which were sacred to Athene). The Egyptians worshipped a cat-headed god (Basht) and mummified thousands of cats, so they must have been considered pretty special then. The sphinx has the head of a man and the body of a cat (well, actually, a lion, I believe) and one is certainly associated with the pyramids at Gizeh, so perhaps the cat really came with the people who inspired and helped to build the pyramids.

@Inlemay Impressive and beautiful as that carving is, it's not actually of an owl but is a capital with foliage turned upside down. However, it has given me an idea!

@owlwings I love the OWL's in Greece as well, but I saw more cats. Egyptians and cats - yes now I remember

Don't you think that the aliens that came to spend time with Egyptians probably brought them.

Originating from.space would explain our cat's desire to be in an elevated position for so much of the time, regardless of the temporary obstacles of clocks, ornaments, bowls, pots or whatever else happens to be on top of the shelf, window sill, fence or toilet cistern.

Yes, they do like to be either on the highest level (so that they can look down on everything) or hiding under the furniture (where they can see and attack, if necessary, people's feet).

Cats have quite a vocabulary if you only take the time to try to interpret the various signals.

They certainly do and they understand perfectly when we speak to them although they try not to let on that they do and it sometimes apparently takes them several minutes to translate in their heads. If I ask my cat whether he wants to go into the garden, he appears not to have heard but two or three minutes later, there he is at the door!

@owlwings it would've been better if the "talking" hadn't been bothered by the eating, after all, it was supposed to be telepathy

I don't know about alien stuff but I think cats view themselves as royalties. At least mine do. They're lucky they're super cute and I love them so much

Hahahaha but I believe that we all created and nourished here on the planet earth by God. That's a funny conclusion to read. God bless.

I thought of the Feline Alien Race. Some say humanoid aliens with animal features do exist, but in other dimensions. On Earth, the humanoid shape doesn't manifest, except for us chimpanzees.

Not so sure where they might have originated, but they really do have attitudes when we can't tell what they want from us. Perhaps they are just helping us makes fools of ourselves as we make an effort to serve them.

Cats have a way to communicate with their slaves the humans and I am sure they think we are dumb. The description of the distant galaxies sounds perfect for the alien cats.
