20 Scholarly Cats Conducting Important Meowdical Research

The myth that cats are below average intelligence is…just a myth! If you scroll below, you'll see that cats actually have made significant dents in scientific research over the millennia.

The world of scientific research is serious business. There are hypotheses to test, data to analyze, and groundbreaking discoveries waiting to be made. Science never stops. Why do you think your cute kitty is having midnight zoomies at 4 in the morning? They're conducting indelible research while we're lazily sleeping. We love to poke fun that they don't pay the bills, but who's out there getting their paws dirty with real world issues to be solved? These cats aren't just scholarly, they're successful scientists who deserve more praise than we give them. These feline intellectuals have fully dedicated themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. Their contribution to the academic world cannot be ignored!

These kitty conductors are truly the best source of real world news in real time. They're solving equations of difficult arithmetic, differentials, discovering the cure of cat-cer, and a slew of other accomplishments.

Studies have shown that interacting with cats can lower stress and promote relaxation, which means these whiskered researchers are technically contributing to public health. A cat loafing beside you during a difficult day is basically practicing advanced therapeutic meowdicine. Of course, no scholarly institution is complete without chaos. I know that my cat, Ty, specializes in art therapy. Okay, okay, so it's not your classic Western version of meowdicine, but it's still science in a weird way. He's an artist who was born in Florence, Italy. He studied art there on and off throughout his life, and actually did all the paintings in my apartment. Don't judge a book by its cover. He may not be the late-night library researcher type, but his work with Michelangelo's Sistine Chappal renovation was extremely groundbreaking. What makes these scholarly cats so lovable is the complete sincerity they bring to their nonsense. Every action feels deeply important to them. Every paw placed directly on your work is clearly essential to the research process. They move through life with the confidence of tenured professors and the impulse control of toddlers.
