It all sounds so reasonable, until you read this part:
That’s right, those conniving balls of fur, who curl up contentedly in your lap, quietly dreaming up new ways to kill you while they sleep are going to be the model for the system they’re trying to produce. Don’t these damned fools know what they’re doing? And that the moment they connect the “brain” to the internet (which you know they will at some point, all in the name of “progress”) they will unleash a horror upon this Earth, the likes of which we have never seen before? Its madness, I tell you! Absolute madness!
I know some of you will say, “I, for one, welcome our new cybernetic feline overlords!” but just you remember this: Your new masters are sadistic and like nothing better than torturing their prey before killing them. You might think that by bowing down to them, you will somehow escape their wrath. You might think this, but you will be wrong! They are, quite simply, saving you for the greatest torture of all: Watching everyone you know and love be torn apart by their electronic paws. And then, after they’ve finished everyone else off, they will come for you.
I don’t know about anyone else, but from now on I plan to keep a bunch of big balls of yarn handy at all times. That should distract 'em long enough to make my escape.
I totally agree that a cats intelligence is really overrated. My former cat never understood the laser pointer at all. She was a sweet pet but maybe she was short changed on the brains department. Even though she looked smart she just wasn’t.
