twist intentions
This author is trying to persuade the reader that cats are sinister.
The author seems to twist cats' intentions. He says when a cat paws at the litter inside the litter box, it is practicing digging a hole to bury its master in when in reality all it is trying to do is to hide the fact that he's just relieved himself.
You can twist words but intentions?
I would appreciate the correction.

In this sense, to twist is not a physical action, but a perversion or inversion of the meaning or intention of the action. The cat is not necessarily trying to communicate with us. But we are trying to guess what is in the cat's mind.
