Ann is preparing food in her kitchen when she’s startled by a cat sitting on the table behind her.
Cat: Hello, Ann.
Ann: Uh – did you just talk to me? Of course not, cats can’t –
Cat: I am God. I have simply chosen a form you are comfortable with.
Ann reaches to pet the cat, who is still sitting stiffly.
Ann: Oh. Well, I do like cats. Can I pet you?
Cat: You may. I have great words of wisdom for you, Ann, but first you must bring your god an offering.
Elsewhere, scientists in lab coats look in dismay at a broken cat door.
Scientist 1, sighing: The cat got free again.
Scientist 2: You don’t mean the cat that has superhuman intelligence?!
Scientist 1: Yes, but don’t worry. It only leaves so it can carry out elaborate schemes to get more snacks.

As soon as I saw this, I thought “Amphibia. This is about Amphibia.”
Excellent punchline!
Is this supposed to be fiction?
Well, the cat is super-intelligent. Stands to reason it would get snacks.
Good one again, Bunny and Chris!
What, a cute little kitty-cat needs an elaborate scheme to get treats?
Well, it probably doesn’t NEED to do that. Just does it for fun
Anyone with superhuman intelligence is a god, so yeah.
If the cat is super-intelligent, at least may have genuine words of wisdom.
Eg “Cats are great, except for sometimes.”
Yup. That’s a cat alright.
Pretending to speak for God is really the oldest profession.
I’ve worshipped worse…
