Let's just get down to business -- cats are highly trained CIA agents.
Sure, you might think your kitty is nothing but an adorably fluffy pet that gets you more attention on Instagram. But if you sheeple would open your eyes, you might recognize the work of a master spy who is inviting the government to keep a close, non-digital eye on American citizenry.
If for some reason you still trust the big-eyed master of espionage currently sleeping in a sunbeam somewhere in your house, consider this tweet sent from the CIA itself.
