With artificial intelligence making rapid progress over the past year, we asked cats what they think about a future where we depend on intelligent machines.



“Imagine the boxes a superintelligent AI could design!” – Anthony Purrcelli, 5, firehouse mascot

“If AI takes over more mundane tasks, that means more nap time for us!” – Peaches, 9, conductor


“I’ve already gone to war with the AI that dispensed my kibble. We had a fundamental disagreement about the frequency and quantity of yums it was dispensing. Let the smoking pile of rubble be a warning to other machines who would challenge felines for Earthly supremacy.” – Meowchal Douglas, 21, investment banker
Bella is also unhappy with Ai – she had an auto feeder for a few months – however, claws and brute force broke into it and reduced it to a broken plastic lid. We take this as she is clarifying that we are NOT replacing her Human servants with a robot. The machine is now consigned to a dark cupboard and is an excellent example of a massive Feline NO. Bertie ignored it and let her do all the destruction ( we watched her figure out how to break into it) … the message is clear

Dude, that’s hilarious! Gotta give Bella credit, she’s not shy about letting you know exactly how she feels, and she rules with an iron paw. Bertie is wise to stay out of her way.

My cat OPENED closet doors with cat treats that were not opened. Bag used to be on floor with teeth marks. And my cat? 🙄Acting all innocent. Now they are in a drawer.

I don’t have an auto feeder, but Bud has been known to tear open treat bags, and he knocked a big tub of Temps onto the floor and gorged himself on them before I could stop him. That was a few years ago, before The Great Temptations Withdrawal, when it became clear he was a little crack addict with those things.
