If a movie has a stylish, mysterious villain with dark plans… chances are there's a cat lurking somewhere in the corner.
Sitting in an armchair, in the shadows, looking with a face that says, “I know more than you.”
And you, as a cat lover, think: again?
A Hollywood classic
The history of cinema is full of cats who, without doing anything, already generate suspicion.
Do you pet a white cat while thinking? Villain.
Do you have a black cat that runs across your screen? Witchcraft guaranteed.
The cat just watches? Of course: it's surely an accomplice.
All of this without even moving a whisker. Literally.
What if the cat isn't the bad guy?
The thing is that cats have a very powerful presence.
They are calm, quiet, and when they look at you, they seem to know everything.
That looks great on screen… even though it’s almost always used to create a bad vibe.
But those of us who live with them know that there is nothing sinister about them .
They're sensitive, observant, affectionate (although they show it in their own way), and yes, also a bit intense with their rituals. But they're not bad at all.
It's time to change the role
We don't need cats to be the heroes who save the world in tights.
But it would be nice if, from time to time, they would just be what they are:
companions. Beings with character.
Animals that don't need to do tricks to be liked.
In summary:
No, your cat isn't planning on taking over the world.
If he wanted to rule the world, he would probably have already achieved it.
