My cat tries this several times a day. And he has an automatio automatic feeder, because he’s on a diet. Yet he’s convinced I can make the machine dispense food with my mind from across the house.

Honestly, given what must seem incomprehensible stuff that humans can do - like remove the invisible force field leading to the (enclosed) deck - I guess he’s just assuming we can do anything. He’s certain that we could make it warmer outside, but we don’t only because we’re mean. I suppose making the magic food give go is among the least of our miracles, but we’re just heartless.
