I’m also pretty sure that cats understand human languages and just choose to ignore us most of the time.
One of my friends, who has never had a cat, told me that cats were way stupider than dogs because they didn’t follow basic commands and probably didn’t even know their own names.
I think it takes living with cats to realize that they are smart as hell and understand a lot of what you’re saying - they just don’t give a fuck.
Some are dumb as bricks though, as they’re all individuals. I know cat siblings where one was super smart, careful and fancy, and the other one an idiot, who also drooled and dropped from tables. This applies to dogs too: I’ve met ones with no thoughts behind their eyes, and then ones like my late doberman who could open locked doors if she felt like it
This is just reminding me of my current cat who will open the door to my room, then get inside and close it. I think it’s to get my attention, but the funny part is always when he is ready to leave and he realizes the consequences of his actions.

They choose to actively impede humanity.
