8. I apologize

Pawstantinople was sacked on that date - Catzantium didn't fall until a few hundred years later.

5. Cats mimic other species like babies and snakes to con humans

The cats mimic the snake's hiss to primarily scare away dogs, and bad humans.
They meow to mimic the baby's cry to get humans to baby them and be their slaves.
They purr mimic aliens? to get humans to keep petting them.
