If you've ever owned a cat, you know this moment we're about to explain: your cat suddenly stops whatever they're doing and freezes, ears back, then proceeds to have zoomies and start jumping all over the house. We call that "receiving information from the mothership" here at I Can Has Cheezburger. Whatever the instructions they receive we'll never understand, but we know they must be serious based on the intensity of their airplane ears.
We're taking this listicle one step further - not only are these funny felines receiving information from the mothership, they're actually being called back to it! That's right, these cats are mid-tractor beam on their way back to their alien predecessors, probably because their plan to take over the world finally complete. Either that, or we just found some hissterical photos of cats mid-jump. You can take your pick.

This kitty was not prepared for their return to the mothership. Purrhaps they were tail-deep in a can of tuna, or maybe they were playing with their favorite bottlecap. Either way, when the tractor beam calls, you have no choice but to pick up!
This cat is like, "Really, again?" They've been through this too many times and are completely over it. We get it, it must be really annoying to be pulled up through the sky to get all the way back to your mothership more than once.
