Human scientists have had the audacity (and stupidity) to say that cats don't think. That we are mindless beings just driven by instinct and unable to solve problems.
Sometimes it is difficult to grasp the full stupidity of the human mind!
Of course we think. We learn, don't we? We learn how to hunt rabbits. We learn that if we wind ourselves round the human legs and purr loudly, we may get a treat.
We learn to avoid the neighbour's horrible yapping dog. And we work out how to sneak into the cat flap four doors down, where the owner provides ad lib food for their own cat - which we then steal.
We learn to recognise the name that a human gives us. When they call us, we turn our heads to see why - if we are not too busy. Sometimes, just sometimes, we even come when called.
Do we think? Of course we do. And it humans thought a little better than they do, they'd know that.
