* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Francis' owner doesn't do anything to help solve the mystery, nor do any other humans.
** Considering that it's cats killing other cats, this really doesn't seem all that surprising.

** Actually, Francis is able to figure out how to log into the data at the end without having ever seen it being done, as shown by the fact that he did not know a password was necessary, so it is a case of the time required varying according to the situation.
*** Francis is shown as being [[The Smart Guy|extremely smart]], even among other such [[Amplified Animal Aptitude|smart cats]], so careful reasoning probably got him to where the data was stored ( {{spoiler|Pascal}} apparently wasn't savvy enough to bury it ''too'' deeply), and from there [[The Password Is Always Swordfish|he just made an educated guess as to what the password could be.]] It's not so much a case of the learning time being shortened as it is Francis [[Fridge Brilliance|simply being able to use what little technical knowledge he had efficiently.]] The whole issue is much clearer in the book, as Pascal actually spends some time teaching Francis how the computer is used, and {{spoiler|the data for the "Felidae" project was stored close to the catalog of neighborhood cats.}}
*** Also, it's heavily implied both in the book and in the movie that Pascal ''wanted'' Francis to find those files {{spoiler|because he WANTS''wants'' Francis [[Passing the Torch|to be his successor]].}}
