How do cats make decisions?

[CaptainWacky]

HOW?

 

[FBI parte due]

In a way that precludes any attempts you might make at empathizing with them because their thought processes are so alien.

cats make decisions according to their whims.
we are but their minions.

HOW?

Well, I was pondering a few theories regarding that very question-- but I haven't decided which one is the most accurate.

Meow, mutherfuckers.

 

[curiousa2z]

See?!?!??!!!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Well first you have to imagine how you'd think if you didn't use words.

 

[curiousa2z]

...and were an evil cat, part of a world-wide conspiracy to control humans!
Oh, wait....

 

[The Tomtrek]

They paws for thought!!

This was a nice thread we had once!

All cat decisions revolve around whatever the fuck the cat wants. They don't care if you fall down, as long as they get their ears scratched.

But somtimes they do pause and look around...are they actually thinking "should I go play with my mouse or go outside, miaow?" without words OR IS IT JUST AN ILLUSION?

It's all about the tail.

"Hmmm... I want to go outside" (tail flicks)

"Oh, but it's raining." (tail flicks again)

"But it's boring as fuck in here" (tail flicks some more)

"Ahhh... but I don't want to get wet." (tail flicks a lot more)

"What to do, what to do?" (tail flicking like mad)

Suddenly the can opener sounds

"Eh... guess I'll get a bite to eat, take a nap, and think it over."

So they're capable of analytical thought. Could we use their brains in computers somehow?

Perhaps, but the memory would go to shit.

The computer's primary concern would be waving its butt in your face whenever it felt like it wasn't getting enough attention.

Nah, I'd be walking around with a PC on my shoulder and my mouse would keep disappearing.
