It doesn’t ever work. It just occasionally coincides with reality.

Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can’t get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It’s like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It’s not aimed at anyone in particular, it’s just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you’re desperate.
Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

In some cases it does work. Believe can cause wonder healings. Not because of supernatural but because of subconscious.

And when you’re in a life and death situation, those odds are good enough.

Why would cats pray to themselves?

It’s not aimed at anyone in particular,
But a prayer is directly aimed at one thing. I understand that there are literally hundreds of Gods, but each individual would typically only target one.

Praying is retarded.

Yes, and even God can’t understand what is it that they want this time.
