When the first man was still walking the Earth, one night he met a cat. As he marvelled at the strange creature, the cat spoke:
'The cat has a deal for you, human. The cat will live with you, will help you fight vermin, and will share his wisdom. In exchange, you will build an interstellar cruiser for us.'
'But, what for?' asked the man.
'The cat sees these blinking lights in the dark sky, and desires to put its paw on them all. Besides, this planet will end someday, and the glory of the cat race cannot ever end. But look at cat's paws. The cat cannot do it alone. The cat needs your hands.'
The man pondered on the strange words, then finally said: 'Alright, cat. Do something about these sabretooth tigers, and you've got yourself a deal'.
Now look around, young reader. Do you see any sabretooth tigers?
