I know what you are wondering — are cats space aliens? Or are we just geniuses who also happen to be cute? Let’s take a deeper look….
Proof cats are space aliens
- Our eyes glow in the dark
- In spite of being cute, some people are scared of us
- We look into nothingness, watching things no one else can see
- We are perfectly comfortable in advanced spacecraft that humans have not yet invented (and since humans haven’t invented them yet, who are you to say differently?)
- We enjoy boxes because we know that we could make them fly if necessary
- We can communicate without the need for a verbal language
- We can manipulate humans into doing our will
Proof that cats are cute geniuses
- Humans keep inventing new things in an effort to make us happy/ know us better (implying that they need to work hard to understand us)
- Meanwhile, we can invent toys out of practically anything
- We can manipulate humans into doing our will — and make them happy to do it!
- We do whatever we want and humans always forgive us
- We have created a language of meows to communicate with humans, even though we don’t need it to communicate with each other
- The people who dislike us generally do because they know they cannot outsmart us, and because we are just too cute for them
As you can see, there is some overlap here. So what do you think? Answer my poll below and you can go into more detail in the comments.


Both!! And so good at them!
Summer, you make a good case for both space aliens and cute geniuses. Perhaps cats are both. I think cats are simply amazing.
MOL Summer. As a human who has adored cats birth, I know you are cute geniuses. Cats are the most amazing creatures on the planet. Resourceful, playful, intelligent, adorable, manipulators, self-cleaning, loving, mischievous, great hunters, hilarious and I could go on. I could not imagine life without you. Going on 60 years with cats as companions and actively rescuing my whole life
Both of course!
BOTH. TOTES. ~ E=MC^meow
I think we are a bit of both.
Both of course! We came from the Planet Bast a few 100 thousand years ago to tame the Human apes. Its werking. Slowly. They are ALMOST untrainable but we progress in the mission. We have had to change ourselves from Saber Tooth Cats to housecats (the remaining Big Cats are rebels) … Still, we WILL succeed.
We voted both 🙂
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
There’s nothing wrong with us being both, Summer. And that’s how we voted! 🙂
Yo, I’m a genius. I got proof.
We’re cute genius space aliens!
We say geniuses because the alien traits can also be attributed to our superior intellect. Our minds are do advanced it’s easy to think alien but it’s pure cute genius!
I just love the way your mind works, Summer! Cats are definitely a purr-fect combo of both 🙂
Our human says that all kitties are just waiting for the Mother Ship to land…

**paw kissesss** Siddhartha Henry xxxx
Summer you licked a great poll. Moare.
You are a cute genius no matter what
I vote BOTH!
Both of course ! How could we use a teleportation tunnel otherwise ? Purrs
No matter which they are, cats are just great to have around.
Love it!!!!!!! I say BOTH (and I voted too!)
Just about all female cats are cute!!
Interestingly, I remember reading a book when I was a kid, called “Space Cats.”
A BLUE cat (and, I’m not talking Somali Blue, like Summer’s brother Chilly) appeared in front of the house of a boy named Perry. Perry adopted the cat, and named him Alexander. He found out that Alexander came from a planet called “Tarvish!”
On the “enemy planet” of the Tarvishians, with White cats, there was one “good cat,” a female cat named Nomura.
Mes KNOWS mes is both, and mes confirmed it with Baast and my director on on the planet Catsus!
Kisses

We strongly believe we’re both!
Mom has always thought that we kitties are way smarter than any humans. She says our Angel Thelma was scary smart! You made a great case for the aliens, however, so we are voting for both. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Cute geniuses 🙂 Although you do have some good points about being aliens.
They are cute geniuses.
you make a good case for both so that’s how i voted.
We like being cute geniuses! MOL
Voting here is easier than voting for the purresident of the US.
Both! Sure, cats are cute geniuses, but that’s masking their alien qualities so people will quietly submit.
I’m going with cute geniuses…
We know that many humans think we Sphynx look like aliens. So we vote for both aliens and geniuses!
Hmm… you do make a strong case for both, but we’re going with cute geniuses.
100% Cute geniuses!!
Summer out contractor hopes to be finished by next week’s end. Which tells us next will be a whirlwind and I expect mid week my blog office will be closed while flooring is laid in here.
Hugs madi your bfff
PS mom says I’ve been a trooper through this …lol the poem is all about my peeps.
Pretty thorough, Summer. I’d argue that even though cats could be considered an advanced life form, that you are too beautiful to be an alien 🙂
^^ Cute Kitten!
Mom listens to George Noory on Tuesday mornings…..so far he hasn’t mentioned cats as aliens but she’ll
let you know if he does.

It’s true that some people are scared of cats. When I was a kid there was a guy who used to come into my dad’s business. We had a couple of cats there. The first time one of them got close to that guy he threw up his hands and slowly backed away from it as if he were terrified. I always thought maybe that guy was just crazy, but now I wonder if he just recognized an alien genius that terrified him.
We know for sure that ole grandpaw Greyson is an alien space cat. He can make our hoomans do anything he wants. The rest of us are still in training. MOL, great points you bought up! We are too smart. Purrs
I don’t know about that alien thing pretty Summer, but you make a good case. Aliens scare me a bit, especially in October when they bang on the door wanting candy!
I am a diplomate ! I think they are both !
We came in peace to spread the pee and conquer with cuteness (and the occasional stinkeye).
Wethinks the interweb is proof it worked.
Happy Thursday – we are off to derust Jaava – hehehehehe.
Humans could get very lazy if we didn’t keep them on their toes.
We’re both and we must keep our hoomans on their toes!!!
