Well it makes sense

A slow tempo is... slow. A quick tempo is upbeat and attracts attention

If you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm.

I do this to cats I see and they say "No." and sit down.

My cat follows all my commands. I say "ignore me and do nothing else I say" and he ignores me and continues with his day.

No,but I use similar tempos to call him and he comes.

Why do we use sound hmmm all over the world when thinking about something? Was there just first proto language that had all these onomatopoeias built in or were they invented independently because they excite neurons in same way, mood regardless of culture?

that's the sound of our brains venting the thinking gas

Maybe it also has to do with the human anatomy? Like, when people are thinking they probably have their mouth closed and maybe even purse their lips. The sound you can make in this pose is really just hmm I guess.

OK yeah, the next question would then be why we use certain facial expressions...
