It’s no secret cats are trying to take over the world, but they might be better at it than we give them credit for. Most cat owners find some of their annoying behaviors somewhat endearing. After all, it’s pretty cute when they try to get in our faces while we’re reading or studying. What we never realized, however, is that they’re actually trying to stop humans from getting smarter. If they can outsmart us, they’ll quickly be able to take over the planet! Need proof? Here you have it.
