They're evaluating: "Will I get food? Attention I want? Is this worth my energy?" If the answer is NO, they don't move. *This doesn't make them less intelligent. It makes them STRATEGIC.* --- 🎯 KEY REVELATIONS: *Cats Train Humans:* Your daily routine is dictated by your cat: You wake up when your cat meows or walks on your face You feed at specific times because your cat trained you through persistence You open doors because your cat sits and stares until you give in You stop behaviors your cat dislikes through swatting or walking away Adult cats rarely meow at EACH OTHER—meowing is behavior used almost exclusively with HUMANS because they learned we respond to vocalizations. *Each cat develops a unique vocabulary with its owner:* Short, high-pitched meow = "Hello" or attention request Long drawn-out meow = "I'm hungry" or need Chirp/trill = "Follow me" or excitement Low growling meow = "I'm annoyed" Yowl = distress or mating *Your cat has literally created a language just for YOU.* 📚 RELATED VIDEOS AND PLAYLISTS YOU'LL LOVE:    • The Hidden Intelligence of Cats (Playlist)      • The Hidden Intelligence of Dogs (Playlist)      • 10 Surprising Facts About Animals (Playlist)      • Your DOG Has Been Watching You (10 Shockin...   --- 💬 ENGAGE WITH US: *Question:* What's the smartest thing your cat has ever done?
