And then, just as suddenly as it started, it stops. They’ll slide to a halt, flop onto their side, and start grooming a paw like nothing happened. The crazy eyes are gone. No explanation. No apology.
You’ll be sitting there, heart rate slightly elevated, while they look at you with pure innocence. “What? I was never running. You’re imagining things. Now feed me.” It’s the ultimate gaslighting, and we fall for it every time.
So next time your cat turns into a furry little missile, don’t get annoyed. Just grab your phone, lean back, and enjoy the show. It’s a free comedy special, delivered by a creature who knows exactly how to make you laugh—while also knocking your coffee mug off the counter. It’s the price of love, and honestly, it’s worth every skid mark on the floor.
