Important Safety Advisory Regarding Domestic Cats

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Recent observations suggest that some domestic cats may possess the dormant soul of a dragon.

While these animals often appear harmless—and may, in fact, be deeply affectionate—documented cases indicate that a small number of cats exhibit behaviors and characteristics inconsistent with known feline biology.

These cases are rare, poorly understood, and frequently dismissed.

This notice is issued to ensure public awareness and household preparedness.

WHAT THIS MEANS

Most cats are exactly what they appear to be.

COMMONLY OBSERVED INDICATORS

Cats of concern may display one or more of the following behaviors:

  • An unusual preference for elevated or inaccessible locations
  • Persistent guarding of objects, rooms, or individuals
  • Prolonged, assessing eye contact
  • Sudden bursts of heat, energy, or agitation
  • A presence that feels… disproportionate to their size

Individually, these traits are common among domestic cats.

When observed together, they may warrant closer attention.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1. Remain Calm

There is no cause for alarm.

Cats exhibiting these behaviors are not inherently dangerous and often remain loyal companions.

2. Secure Your Environment

Ensure shelves, mantels, and high furniture are stable. Remove fragile or valuable items from elevated locations.

3. Protect Important Belongings

Some affected cats may demonstrate a tendency to gather, guard, or relocate objects. Secure items of sentimental, historical, or financial importance.

4. Maintain Clear Space

Avoid clutter. Clear pathways reduce the likelihood of sudden disturbances during periods of heightened activity or excitement.

5. Practice Fire Safety

While no verified cases of open flame generation have been recorded, households are advised to maintain standard fire safety equipment and remain attentive during periods of agitation.

6. Respect Boundaries

Do not force interaction. Cats displaying unusual behavior may require periods of solitude. Respecting personal space has been shown to reduce incidents.

 WHAT NOT TO DO

  • Do not attempt physical restraint
  • Do not challenge territorial behavior
  • Do not introduce unfamiliar animals during observation periods
  • Do not attempt amateur experimentation

Corrective discipline has not proven effective.

IF CONCERNING BEHAVIOR OCCURS

If your cat displays sudden aggression, extreme agitation, or behavior that poses immediate risk:

Maintain a safe distance

Remove yourself and others from enclosed spaces

Contact a licensed veterinarian or qualified animal behavior specialist

Emergency services should be contacted only in accordance with standard safety protocols.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is my cat dangerous?
In the overwhelming majority of cases, no.

Is this a new phenomenon?
Historical records suggest similar observations have occurred intermittently across many generations.

Why are we only hearing about this now?
Advances in archival research and behavioral analysis have prompted renewed attention.

Should I be worried?
There is no cause for alarm.

FINAL ADVISORY

Domestic cats remain cherished companions and valued members of countless households. With proper awareness, respect, and vigilance, coexistence remains safe and mutually beneficial.

Further guidance may be issued as additional information becomes available.

ISSUED IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Thank you for your cooperation.

FOOTNOTE
