SCIENTISTS DISCOVER THAT EVERY CAT IN THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY THE SAME CAT MOVING REALLY FAST

Quantum feline theory suggests that 'Mittens' is a single multidimensional entity capable of being in 600 million places at once just to spite you.
""This explains why your cat is never in the room when you want to show someone, but is always under your feet when you have hot coffee," said Dr. Meow-Zinger." — KEY SLUDGE FINDING
In a paper published in the *Journal of Impossible Physics*, a team of researchers at MIT has concluded that the global feline population is actually a singular, high-velocity organism. The theory, known as the 'Universal Tabby Hypothesis,' posits that what we perceive as 'billions of cats' is actually one very tired creature moving at speeds exceeding the rate of light to occupy multiple kitchen counters simultaneously.
"We used high-speed cameras and synchronized cat-nip dispensers across three continents," said lead physicist Dr. Helena Paws. "We noticed that there was a 0.0000001 microsecond delay between a cat meowing in Tokyo and a cat knocking over a vase in Paris. The probability of them being distinct animals is statistically zero. It is one cat. He is everywhere. He is legion."
The study suggests that the cat (which researchers have nicknamed ‘The Singularity’) uses quantum tunneling to traverse the planet, primarily for the purpose of finding the sunniest spot on any given floor at any given time. This also explains 'the zoomies,' which scientists now believe is actually the cat attempting to reset its global position after a particularly long nap.
Pet owners have reacted with a mix of awe and betrayal. "I thought Barnaby was special," said one local woman. "Now I find out he's just the same jerk who lives in the apartment upstairs and also in a palace in Dubai. Does he even love me, or am I just a scheduled stop on his global rotation?"
Further research is being conducted to determine if the same phenomenon applies to 'Golden Retrievers,' though early data suggests they are actually three separate dogs who are just very, very busy. The cat, meanwhile, refused to comment, choosing instead to stare blankly at a wall for four consecutive hours across seventeen time zones simultaneously.
