Why are we doing the human cat faces? It’s like we’re regressing to cat paintings from the 16th century.

The cat's face is a reference to Samuel Jackson, who notably says Motherfucker, hence reading M/F as that

I have a theory that that’s what cats actually looked like in the Middle Ages, and they’ve just evolved very rapidly since then to have modern cat faces.

It’s wrong, but that’s still my theory.
