I can see why cats do it

One of my flatmates this year is my best friend Yeri. She's highly intelligent, but sometimes she says some pretty strange stuff, and doesn't realise how hilarious she sounds. Also, recently she started meowing. What? Yes. She'll be going about her business, then all of a sudden meow like a cat, seemingly for no reason at all. This morning, in a short conversation we had while each of us was getting ready for work, the saying pretty strange stuff and the meowing came together.

Y: (washing face in the bathroom) meow.
Me: I notice you've developed a habit of meowing.
Y: yeah, I do it to relieve stress.
Me: oh, okay.
Y: I can see why cats do it.
Me: ...???

I spent the next five minutes fighting for breath while laughing. It was an awesome start to the day, and put me in a great mood.

Maybe you had to be there.
