Every machine they've failed to maintain in their land is now held together so shoddily that it will tear them apart the moment they look away. They are the survivors, having witnessed countless pajeets and prajeets be devoured by anything with moving parts, applying that fear of the indian machine to machines built by a somewhat less retarded civilization. Also, some are probably just too dumb to understand what the machine is to begin with.
The cat, however, only knows of the western machine, and knows that it works.
