Thoos picked up Purrloin and said, "Okay, Purrloin. Time to save us. There are two buttons on the outside of the window which unlock it to rotate for cleaning." Thoos then showed Purrloin the buttons through the window and said, "The reason there are two buttons is so birds don't accidentally open it. see? They're right there. Buhhhh-tunnns... And you have to press that one, and then the other one while keeping the first one pressed. That one, and then that one. that one, and then that one. got it?" Purrloin began getting fidgety from being held and started hissing and swinging her claws around. Realizing the probably wasn't going to work, Thoos said, "This is the stupidest idea i've ever had, isn't it?" Picknar said, "Don't sell yourself short it's not even the stupidest idea you've had in the short time I've known you."

    I kind of find it weird to assume that coyotes and kangaroos basically become like (somewhat weird) people once they’ve had the translator shot, but a cat is still just a stupid animal.

    It may be the writers just hating on cats, or it may be that the cat just doesn’t ‘care’ to understand, but I have to say that if we’re being fair, a cat should be able to understand and communicate at least somewhat after having gotten the shot (maybe on the level of a 2 year old). They may not have the same social structures as canines, but they’re still relatively social mammals, and they’re being treated more like a lizard or something.

    Purrloin’s purr-sistently non-sapient behavior may simply be an instance of the old cartoon trope: “It’s funnier that way.” Or it may be Purrloin herself thinking, “It’s funnier this way.” In which sentiment I’m sure she has Rodrigo’s whole-hearted agreement.
