As we all know cats long ago took over the moon, since we weren't using it
Makes sense. Nearly endless supply of loose dirt for burying crap.
Cats are descended from a race from a galaxy far far away. They were stranded here when their ship crashed thousands of years ago. They communicate telepathically and in their cat legends are distant memories of that time long ago when their superior being ancestors landed here on earth. The memory grows dim but the knowledge that they were once superior to us in technology lives on and with that their ability make us their servants.
We will never be able to understand their cat ways.
