        But why are you capitalizing "Laser," "Vacuum Cleaners," "Humans" and "Cats"? A cat wouldn't capitalize those words.

        What words would a cat capitalize? Not trolling, I'm now genuinely contemplating this

        Cats can't spell so they would capitalize no words, therefore the statement remains valid.

        However, if we assume a cat can't write at all, then they can't write any un-capitalised letters either
