From baby faces to slicing teeth. Perfection isnt just genetic its a lifestyle.By Lucifer Fluffovich (as told to his mum, Kirsti Harefallet)Congratulations.Youve just stumbled upon the most important self-improvement article youll ever read, written by someone who hasnt improved at all in millennia. And thats the point.While other species spent the last ten million years mutating, stretching snouts, growing weird paws, and trying new diets (bamboo, bears, really?), we cats mastered one thing and stopped. Because when nature nails it, she doesnt need a second draft.In a Scientific American article, evolutionary biologist Anjali Goswami has confirmed what every cat already knows: we are perfect. Not just pretty. Not just graceful. Perfect. As in: the final form of predator design. The rest of the animal kingdom? Still tinkering.Want to understand our success? Heres how we did it and why youll never catch up.How Cats Achieved Evolutionary Success (and Domination)Step 1: Pick One Thing and Be Better at It Than Everyone ElseWere predators. Thats it. No omnivore confusion. No but what if I like berries? detours. We hunt. We slice. We pounce. Whether youre looking at a tabby on the sofa or a tiger in the jungle, we all follow the same template.Most mammals have molars for grinding plants. We ditched that baggage long ago. Behind our slicing teeth? Nothing. Not a thing. Just one perfect set of meat-cutters. Evolution didnt waste enamel on salad.Step 2: Keep the Baby Face ForeverImage Credit: Aquarius Studio, ShutterstockHeres where it gets unfair.Most mammals go through awkward teenage phases. Dogs? Start as cute puppers, then turn into long-snouted gremlins. Bears? Giant, fanged troublemakers by six months.But cats? Our baby heads stay babyish. Big eyes. Round cheeks. Compact faces. Forever.Scientists call it lack of developmental variation. We call it adorable domination.Step 3: Choose One Body Type. Stick With It.Lions, leopards, lynxes, and house cats? Were all the same blueprint. Same skull shape. Same bone structure. Just different sizes.We dont come in sausage-shaped, mop-headed, or snub-nosed variations (at least, not when were healthy or bred responsibly). We dont need to.Goswami admitted that even as an expert, she cant tell a lion skull from a tigers. You know why? Because theyre just scaled-up versions of me.Step 4: Evolve as Slowly as PossibleSpeedy evolution is for the insecure. Us? We take our time. Solitary animals evolve more slowly, and cats are famously independent (except lions, but they get a pass for being extra).We dont rush. We dont panic-change. Weve been basically the same since the saber-tooths. Your iPhone has changed more in the last five years than my species has since the Ice Age.You might like to read:A Brief History of Domestic CatsStep 5: Let the Humans Think They Discovered YouLets be honest: this Scientific American article? Not news to me.Ive known since my first slow blink that I was the finished product. But fine, if the humans want to publish studies to feel smart about it, let them. Nod approvingly. Rub your cheek on the corner of their mobile phone.Then knock it off the table.Because perfection doesnt need a press release. But sometimes Its nice to be recognized.

So next time you catch me staring silently at the wall, remember: Im not just thinking about dinner. Im contemplating ten million years of uninterrupted excellence.Youre welcome.
