Most people think cats watch TV because they are entertained. Wrong. Cats attack television because they understand that screens are just human mind traps. Every time a cat smacks a video game or blocks the view, they are basically performing high level cyber security work. For free. Without benefits.
Notice how they always go for the part of the screen where the important stuff is actually happening. That is not random. That is strategic anti-distraction behavior. Cats have been protecting the world from glowing rectangles since the invention of electricity, and yet humans still assume they are being silly. We honestly have no idea how lucky we are that they tolerate our clueless little eyeballs staring at screens all day. If cats ever stop saving us from ourselves, we are finished.
