Cats are widely believed to be “independent thinkers,” which is a polite way of saying they ignore you on purpose.
Scientists once tried to measure cat intelligence. The cats immediately knocked over the equipment, sat on the papers, and stared until the scientists felt personally judged enough to stop.
A dog: “I learned a new trick!” A cat: “I have observed your behavior for 3 years and concluded you exist to open cans and apologize.”
