Cats have been on this Earth longer than humans have. At least, the ancestors of cats! Scientists claim that the first "panther-like" creatures were roaming this Earth as early as 10 million years ago. Might this be a sign that they came from outer space together with some meteors?
This sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory, but wait until you see the cats on this list. We came across a delightful subreddit, aptly called r/CatsAreAliens. It's a place for owners to share their felines who look or act like they came from another world. Some pics are just interesting photographic accidents or kitties acting silly, yet others have the cats looking like little green men.

Okay, we know that cats really can't be aliens. But scientists have actually argued something to a similar extent. In 2022, the Polish Academy of Sciences classified cats as an "invasive alien species." Put down your tinfoil hats, Pandas – this only means that felines originated from another continent and that Europe, the Americas, and other continents weren't their original home.
But there was another criterion that cats had to meet to be considered an invasive alien species. Scientists had to prove that they posed significant damage to wildlife, and one Polish biologist, Wojciech Solarz, managed to do so. He argued that they hunt and take out so many birds and mammals that they're starting to be a threat to biodiversity. According to him, domestic cats are responsible for 140 million birds losing their lives in Poland every year.

Yep, and every morning my little tiny girl who weighs at LEAST 500 kilos (😉) leaps up from the floor right onto my chest with her little wet paws. We live in the literal middle of many crop fields (sunflower, maize, corn, wheat, etc, and especially vineyards, since we live in southwest France). Our house has an old barn attached and you would not believe the number of mice who use that as their base while they forage the crops and come home for the night. One evening before we had the cats I caught TWELVE mice in a 10-hour period in the kitchen, and I refuse to use rat poison because it is disgusting. I tried live traps, but you have to take the mice at least 2 kms away or they just return, and a dozen trips a day to cart off mice was problematic (especially with all these crops, as another 12 would just take their place). And emptying mouse traps several times each day was horrible. Before anyone gets excitable, my vet agrees, my cats have been neutered/spayed, and they stay near.

Ah high school. A fat doobie and then a nap in the park with friends.
Solarz's classification caused quite an uproar from the public. But scientists were quick to calm people down, saying that this was helpful for educational reasons and for policymaking. In no way does this mean that we should now start getting rid of cats or that people can't own them as pets.
"Today, the domestic cat is one of the most prolific and widespread invasive species, found on every continent except Antarctica," states a 2021 paper published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And while the U.S. does not classify it as an invasive species, they still admit that their huge population is a problem for other native species.
Woah
I wish I could say for sure that this was real. Sectoral heterochromia exists, but it's even rarer than normal heterochromia, and the fact that both of this cat's eyes have the color divide EXACTLY at the midpoint... probably Photoshopped. However, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the image as being amazing anyway XD

While we, humans, have domesticated cats so they can get rid of the rodents in our homes and farms, this form of pest control has now become problematic. The USDA estimates that "free-ranging and feral" cats are responsible for the demise of 1.3 billion to 4 billion birds and 6.3 billion to 22.3 billion mammals. And because they're native to the U.S., their demise can have serious repercussions for the ecosystem.

My Cat Is Obsessed With Hair Ties. She Doesn’t Play With Them, Though. She Just Stares At Them
I was working at a vet clinic when one morning while I was getting ready for work, our cat came out and vomited right in front of me. Several hair ties. So he got to join me at work that day, and had 12 more surgically removed from his stomach/intestines after an X-ray revealed he was doing more than just chasing them! I always caution people to be careful!

In fact, cats, especially feral cats, might not be that good for pest control. In one controlled experiment in Brooklyn, cats chased the rats, but they only took the lives of two. Another study in Baltimore found no correlation between the number of cats and rats in alleys, meaning that the presence of cats doesn't automatically diminish the rat population.

You can watch a lot of cats and rats accommodating one another, easing by one another, eating out of the same trash bag."

This Gem I Captured Yesterday
Cats are such menaces that they're even responsible for wiping out one species of bird! The wren, a tiny flightless bird native to New Zealand, was made extinct when a lighthouse keeper brought his cat (allegedly named Tibbles) to the South Island. Historians now theorize that Tibbles was probably pregnant and was responsible for a small population of cats that hunted down the wren.
The bird might also have lost its habitat as settlers cleared the bush and collected the birds as specimens for collectors. But Tibbles certainly played her part too.

Unfortunately, there are many more species in whose extinction cats have had a hand. In Australia, the paradise parrot, the short-tailed and the long-tailed hopping mice are no more, partly because of feral cats. In total, Australia lost 27 species with the "help" of cats. Today, 124 animal species are endangered because of cats, and the government takes serious measures to control the population of feral cats.

So, technically, cats aren't aliens. But you know what other animal might be? The octopus! A controversial 2018 study suggested that octopuses may have come to Earth in an icy comet. Why did the scientists make such an outrageous claim? After studying their DNA and genes, they concluded that there is too great of an evolutionary jump between the octopus and its ancestral species.
"Its large brain and sophisticated nervous system, camera-like eyes, flexible bodies, instantaneous camouflage via the ability to switch colour and shape are just a few of the striking features that appear suddenly on the evolutionary scene," the researchers write.

Serval, a wild animal, not a domestic cat. Should NOT be kept as a pet. People acquire them and crossbreed them to domestic cats to make hybrids. Servals are gorgeous, but they are NOT PETS.
This may or may not be a Savannah cat, from a cross between a Serval and domestic cats. I didn’t think Savannahs were large but aparently they can be. Savannah cats bond strongly with their humans but Servals and F1 Savannahs can be playful and affectionate but there’s no guarantee.
