- Infinity315 2y agoThe term 'reason' is being overloaded here. The type of 'reason' a cat uses is different from the 'reason' used in math The information a cat uses is incomplete whereas the information used in math and logic is theoretically all accessible. The reasoning a cat uses allows for inconsistencies with its model because of its use of incomplete information whereas no inconsistencies are permissible in math and logic. Formally speaking, math uses deductive reasoning whereas the cat uses abductive reasoning.
