I've been a fan of the site since I was in high school, back in 2005. I've seen a lot of stupid things...this one is up there (on my personal list). In recent memory it's the stargate on the sun, but I really enjoyed the Pleadian brotherhood era! Someone bring that back.
What If you are crazy?? You did start by saying "I know it sounds crazy".... 1) Cats don't look like grays ,cause no one knows what greys look like and there actual existence. 2) So does that mean cows are aliens to? They are held in an higher regard in India. 3)Dogs and birds have been domesticated just as long. Are they spies to? 4) You are massively assuming 5) Like what? 6) Cats do not suck the air out people ,especially babies. Seriously!! Cats love laying on top of things and people. Doesn't make them alien assassins. Lobsters and Prawns are scavengers , does that make them aliens? They have an endo-skeleton ,does that make them aliens. You need your head checked. If you are not serious about the jargon you have posted then why post it?

It was the tone of the post that irked me, no respect.
You have clearly shown that you don't have a sense of humor.
I don't even understand why you posted unless it was to illicit a response from me, and the rest of the posters who understand that this is supposed to be ironic.
Perhaps you should do a little research on Schizotypals, before calling me a schizo, which is not the same thing at all.
Lets look back at your response to my OP.

1) I was talking about the general idea of what a grey looks like in popular culture.
2) (Prime example of your rebuttal skills)
3) Dogs and birds have very different traits, as well as being polar opposites, yes cats have been domesticated for a very long time, it was just a suggestion to see what types of responses would come in afterwords.
4) Assuming what? That cats have a tendency to look into nothingness and seem to follow things with their eyes? Do you own a cat? Or have you watched one? This is completely normal cat behavior!
5) The association to witches, cats being familiars, and linked to "the other side" in folklore and mythology. like I said, I am not saying they are spawns of Satan, just adding another point to the list.
6) Your absolutely right about this point, as was pointed out by Bleeeeep, it was associated to the smell of milk!
My issue with the cadence of your post was more the beginning and end, "What If you are crazy??" and also "You need your head checked. If you are not serious about the jargon you have posted then why post it?"
Its called free speech, I have hurt no one, and have merely tried to brighten peoples day with some anecdotal fun, perhaps bordering on questionable, I agree, but I am aware of this fact.
What does thick skin have to do with having an intelligent conversation?
I think that our bickering has descended into a point of "who has the last say" and I will no longer reply to your posts, say what you will, I will lose no sleep. You have simply missed the point, and have attacked my state of mind for your own ego's sake.
And I hold no vehemence towards you good sir, may you prosper in your life, and I do mean this sincerely.
Cheers

Interesting Theory. I can see how an idea such as this could be considered. Based on my experiences living with multiple house cats I don't think its plausible. Allow me to explain.
I grew up with parents that love their cats like family, literally. Heck, when I was about 13 years old we once had 15 cats that we saw everyday. Six of them were typical house cats. The others were stray or feral cats that spent most of their time outside, except at feeding time. I've probably lived with over 30 different cats in my life.
Cats are intelligent. Cats have individualist personalities. They can communicate through emotion and body language with humans and occasionally through meows. I can't be for sure...but sometimes I get the feeling that they understand part of what I say. For example, I once said to a friend "If that cat is hungry he will meow". The cat looks right at me and meows in a way I could only interpret as acknowledgment. Hell, I swear that my cats play out ruses to get things they want...like fed or being let outside. Two of my male cats will fight each other shortly before feeding time. After they are fed I see them sleeping back to back later. Two of my female cats hate each other. They stalk, harass, ambush and are just plain nasty to each other all the time.
My point is that I believe cats to be far more intelligent than most humans would believe...perhaps even being self-aware. I don't think it could be proven in the traditional sense if it could be proven at all.
So...I don't think cats are alien spies. However, I do think it is possible they are a species that is unique in more ways than we currently understand.

Ok, I know its crazy, but I have had many interesting discussions with people about this, partly because they don't know what to make of it.
1) They kinda look like greys, the little mouth and nose, big eyes and when the ears are pulled back, an egg shaped head.
2) The fact that the Egyptians held them in high regard, and the fact that there is much speculation about Aliens, the Pyramids, etc etc.
3) They have been domesticated for such a long time, and live in our homes, have free roam of the streets, wouldn't they be the perfect spies???
4) They seem to be aware of things we are not, constantly looking into corners and following things with their eyes.
5) Alot of paranormal goings on are associated with these fluffy balls of fur, none of which are really proven...
6) They suck babies breath while they sleep, or rather, lol, there have been cases of cats sleeping on an infants neck and suffocation has ensued. (Trying to eliminate mankind???)
Just wondering what the community thinks if not cats, perhaps turtles? How about better suited suggestions of animals who could be alien spies, and not just the Grey variety.
This is a "what if" thread, I have had these thoughts, but don't take it too serious, I have 2 wonderful kitties of my own, and I am also a Schizotypal, which accounts for the weird connections!

So here are a few things to point out.

2) The fact that the Egyptians held them in high regard, and the fact that there is much speculation about Aliens, the Pyramids, etc etc.

Ooh! Lobsters!!! Or Prawns!!!
This is a "what if" thread, I have had these thoughts, but don't take it too serious, I have 2 wonderful kitties of my own, and I am also a Schizotypal, which accounts for the weird connections!
Please no one go out and round up cats thinking that they are indeed spies, I have a feeling PETA may watch this thread!
Lets not try and take this too seriously, but lets also stay objective!
I am interested to hear if any others have had thoughts such as these, and also what other animals would be well suited for the job!
Have fun!

Maybe it did! Maybe it didn't! What's it to ya?
Was just messing with you. If Aliens are truly here and can shapeshift, I can imagine weird stuff like that happening.
