I was once leaving for work, and my son’s cat was in the front yard. When I got in the car, she ran to the backyard. As I backed up, I looked up to the top of our weeping willow tree, and there was the cat, a 150 feet up, sitting on a swaying branch, watching me leave.
One of my cats has had the zoomies since I put up the Christmas tree. She lurks under it and suddenly there is a burst of clanking Christmas ornaments and she is gone. Where? who knows.
Animals are amazing. I was cycling on a rural road doing I’ll say 30 to 35km/h. I went past a farm and in the driveway was a border collie sleeping under an old pickup truck. Well, I didn’t have a stop watch, but in less time than it takes to peel a banana, that dog was right beside me…

Yeah. And they practice up for that by sleeping 18 hours / day.

We could to that just as easily if we had four legs and ultra-bendy spines.

Yeah, but what’s their marathon time like? They’re ambush predators, we’re persistence hunters.

Cat’s Egyptian ancestors were predators.

One of our cats teleports from room to room. Poof! Here. Poof! There.

Cats are strong, agile, ambush predators.
Especially at about 3 in the morning.

I recall hearing McLaren racing cars bragging about being able to do 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Foo. My cats can do that in no more than 2.

Cats are simply superior. Then again, If I slept all day maybe I could leap tall buildings in a single bound.

My neighbors have had several cat-sized dogs. Also cat-sized cats. They’re huge close up.

I think that only works if the stairs are carpeted.

Cats are cool. That’s why they call them cats.
