Reminds me of when Jinxy was about 7-8 months old. He found a plastic bag, managed to get it wrapped around his leg, then it "chased him through the apartment... and straight into the sliding glass door. This is the same cat that tried to turn a door knob, so I guess he just had a moment 😆
The paw lick is the feline equivalent of me trying to give the impression that I know what I'm doing when I have absolutely no fucking clue what I'm doing.
Classic displacement behaviour, to give oneself time to regroup from an unsettling experience, and work out the next move/s.
In this case, the cat is attempting to style it out, while mind-pressuring the human filming it to 'put the phone down and get this *effing* thing off me ye bastard!' 😂
Life in a wheelchair isn’t always easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. I’m fundraising for an enclosed mobility scooter to stay active, independent, and connected. Every bit of help counts. Your kindness fuels my journey. Details on my GoFundMe. A share or gift. https://gofund.me/0af928df
I had a foster kitten who was mentally challenged and he used to climb up really high on things and then just walk off the edge like nothing would happen. He also made me spoon feed him puréed food way after his sibs could eat on their own. I described him as a special needs cat on his adoption bio.
I don't know. I did get stuck as a child in one of those old fashioned sheet attached to blanket thingies. I'd be there still if someone hadn't figured it out.
Ultimately humans measure the intelligence of all non-human animals against a human benchmark, rendering the whole exercise pointless and stupid IMHO. I guess some 'scientists' find the research grants hard to resist.
That being said, this is a brilliant video; truly the stuff of legends 😂😂
Every now and then my cat will get a claw stuck in a bit of fabric, and he can't think of anything to do but pull backwards. I have to grab the paw and pull it forward, thinking "It's your goddamned claw, don't you know how it works?"
I used to not compare dogs and cats. But then I got a small dog (which is very stupid relative to normal dogs) and I realized she expressed a lot of (stupid) behaviors of a cat: e.g., like when a cat does not understand for a half minute what to do when you open a door.
I think the real difference is that dogs know they're stupid and don't care, and even enjoy it, but a cat has an ego and it's stupidity is somehow your fault.
Yeah. I've had both really smart dogs and really smart cats. Thankfully, my girl is beautiful because she's not all that gifted in the intelligence realm!
I can't stop laughing. I'm watching over and over and Selkie thinks I'm goofy. Here is Selkie with his first experience with curtains. He was a feral when I brought in from my yard 3 years ago and he is acclimating to being a house cat. Those curtains can be tricky!

It's obviously trying to fold space to get back to its home dimension.
Try and make the bed or bring out a cardboard box and watch it teleport.
I take back that they may rule. 🤣🤣
