I've been around cats all my life and I can tell you any time someone says "Cats do this because..." or "Cats like this because..." I wonder how many cats they've actually known. Some cats like the same things and do the same things but no two are alike or predictible for long - so these arguments are also ridiculous. Depends on your own experience.
Tell you one thing, though: I have calico who once looked me dead in the eye, hiked up her haunches, and let-er-rip on the wall, like "Ha ha. Come and get me, B*tch!" As I hauled up off the sofa and went after her it was pretty clear she MEANT to p*ss (pun intended) me off. Some cats are natural trouble makers. Some aren't. All of them are probably aliens, though. Someone should "study" THAT.
