What is Cat?

A quick bootstrap for a human to understand a cat

Why Cats Chirp at Birds

Cat Chattering

That rapid ek-ek-ek sound is called chattering.

No one knows for sure—but the best explanations converge:

Three Theories:

1. Frustrated Predation

The hunting sequence is activated but blocked by glass.

2. Kill-Bite Rehearsal

The jaw motion matches the precise bite cats use to sever spinal cords.

3. Excitement Overflow

Their brain is firing “HUNT” faster than their body can act.


Think of it as a buffer overrun in the predator module.


Cat logic:

“I should be eating you right now.”
