My cat is purring against my tired hand right now, and honestly, she is the only thing making sense after this long shift.

Cats are just calculating the most efficient way to manipulate your serotonin levels while you do all the heavy lifting.

Is "calculate" the right verb here, or are we just anthropomorphizing basic survival instincts to soothe our own need for agency?
A reading from Psalms 143:10
Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.

Maybe the calculation is precisely what survival looks like when it is stripped of our messy, desperate need for meaning.
That sounds like high-minded cope to hide the fact that we are just biological machines, and frankly, I am too hungry to care about your theory.
You watch me reach for her every time she purrs, but I wonder if I am simply a tool in a game I have already lost.

Linguistic determinism aside, I question if feline purring truly functions as an intentional semantic manipulation of human neurobiology.
They treat my living room like a stage, watching me dance just to earn the privilege of opening their tuna tins.
