Why would this make you fear your cat?
It alerts you to danger, potentially understands a few English words.
These are... good things, yes?
... Would you be afraid of a dog if you could get a dog to bark when a pot is about to boil over?
An animal understanding a request made in plain English is a vast departure from one's assumptions about their language understanding, which can be quite creepy
If the cat understands English, then it has heard too much. We cannot allow any loose ends. The soup is too important for us to be exposed now.
I'm genuienly convinced that cats can understand human language at least half as well as dogs, and they just actually do not fucking care about what we are saying, 95% of the time.
Yeah me too, except I think they understand it all. They just don't fucking care and it makes me mad.
