Are Cats Spies Sent by Aliens?

ttention cat people. There's a burgeoning theory around the internet that begs reckoning. It's not the theory that parasites in cat poop are turning you into crazy cat ladies, though that?s certainly cause for alarm. It's much worse than that.

Domestic house cats, it seems, may be alien sentinels sent to spy on us and report their findings back to the mother ship. Or, as some theorists have put it, theyre like alien camcorders tracking our every move.

Well, maybe. We humans love our conspiracy theories, and there's a decent chance this is just another among them. As a poll published just yesterday reveals, 51 percent of Americans believe the JFK assassination was a conspiracy; 15 percent believe 'The government or the media adds mind-controlling technology to TV broadcast signals'; 4 percent believe reptilian shapeshifters control the government.

Its impossible to know just how pervasive cats-as-alien spies theory is without an adequate polling apparatus (if you have one, please get in touch). One guesses its fairly low. Then again, 4 percent is much higher than one might have expected for the lizard people theory, and, according to the same poll, some 29 percent of Americans believe aliens exist and 14 percent believe in Bigfoot, so who knows?

As with most conspiracy theories, the cats-as-alien-spies theory is surprisingly well-developed and based on a few kernels of truth and genuine ambiguity. How much? Motherboard decided to take a look at some of the supporting premises, one-by-one. A user who goes by the moniker 'RedSpider' summarizes the prevailing wisdom in a handy list on the British tech message board, Digital Kaos. I've appropriated his/her list here (lightly edited for style and clarity), with the original points bolded.

Examine the evidence and decide for yourself:

Man buys toy poodles, discovers they're actually ferrets on steroids

24blo1z.jpg


An Argentine man who thought he bought a pair of poodles at an outdoor market in Buenos Aires brought them home to the vet only to be told they were actually ferrets on steroids, reports the Daily Mail.

The man, a retiree from Catamarca, purchased the animals at La Salada, Argentina's largest bazaar.

The veterinarian informed him the ferrets "had been given steroids at birth to increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats resemble a fluffy toy poodle," the paper says, translating a report from a local Argentine TV station. He paid $150 per poodle.

Another woman interviewed by the station said she was tricked into thinking she had purchased a chihuahua at the same market.

It's unclear what the duped pet owners did with their faux poodles. But if you're thinking about buying a poodle at an Argentine market, the Daily Mail has a handy guide on how to tell whether the pooch you're purchasing is actually a ferret:

To be honest I find the thought of a juiced ferret far more compelling than a toy poodle.

We've got all sorts of critters.. family thinks they're descendants of St Francis I guess.. gotta save everything...
but we've got a bad-ass feral cat that adopted us about 6 yrs ago... OWNS the neighborhood...
he thinks he's a dog..
he's a bad-ass hunter.. wife loves him.. until he brings home trophies for her... then she's pissed

a while back she screams.. "damn Sparky, the garage looks like a GD NCIS crime scene...
there is shit and feathers everywhere... and this bird was huge"
he checks out the bucks.. and I know he's thinking "I got a 50/50 chance.. and I think I can take him"
cool cat
