Fun With Alien Observers or Why We Do That

Are you tired of the same old beanie lined with aluminum foil trick? Get a cat for your home. They are sure to keep the aliens busy with distracting studies. I myself, have never been able to figure out many of their daily rituals. Considering how close we are, that is saying a lot.

Take for instance the garage. If aliens ever study my house, they will never figure out the garage events. I pull up to the garage in my vehicle and pick up a small device and point it at the door. The garage door opens. From there it is never the same. Either a small animal runs into the garage or a small animal runs out of the garage. Even I never know which one it is supposed to be on any given run.

So why? Why do I point a device at a large door that makes a small animal get up and run out or run into the garage? What must the purpose be behind this ritual??? Is a car really necessary for this to occur? They will study other households and find that no small animal is necessary for the garage operation process, adding to the confusion. Apparently some humans simply open the door and pull in, parking the car.

It is perhaps even more confusing when I have two cats. I point, shoot the usual beam and not only might a cat run out, but a different cat would run in at the same time. They seemed to keep it perfectly random whose turn it was to go in or out. Occasionally two cats would run out of the garage or two cats would run in. It is never very synchronized though, even when they are heading in the same direction. One cat may have a day or afternoon off leaving me wondering when the other cat is going to fire out of somewhere. I hesitate to actually pull in on days I open the door and no cats run in or out. If nothing happens, I pull into the garage with some expectation and hesitation keeping my eyes open for any small movement.

Closing the door is fun too. It seems it is also expected for the little cat protectors to run under the door as soon as you activate it to close. This means they interrupt the beam and stop the door from closing. If you have two cats, another one may run in or out on the second attempt again interrupting the door closure. This has a random number of variations leaving me closing the door with cats running in and out any number of times. One time a cat that was not even mine ran out.

Why does this happen? It is my belief that no one will ever figure it out. I feel this will be harder to solve than the riddle of the fire beetles. In any case, this should keep them busy while you figure out why you do the things you do yourself.
