It's not just that cats are so smart, they're creative
None of these tactics are some cookie-cutter move drawn from the collective-unconscious of cats. Unlike, say, a dog rolling over. Every dog has that archetype in its repertoire. But with cats, each one has its own school of dance and acrobaticsπΉ
I think that each night and early morning when I get paw taps to the head, faceβ¦ itβs time to play! Then there is loud π± snoring when Iβm dragging around later, sleep deprived and tired π
Since Iβm deaf, these techniques donβt work on me. What my cat figured out was to jump up and down outside the window. He knew Iβd react to the motion. Just sitting there and waiting wouldnβt do the job. He had to move.
If the screen door to the patio was closed, my cat Toby would jump onto it and swing his body back and forth, keeping an eye on his sister Grace, who had tiny paws, who would then slide the screen door open. Teamwork!
my cat used to knock on next doors door with his paw - he liked it better there - he wasnt allowed in much though because they already had cats and he didnt get on with them.
we would help him by knocking for him though and when the door opened he would run in
Hilarious! The bandaged leg. π The back leg kicks. ππ Our first home had an old chest freezer in the back entryway. When my Punkin wanted to get in, he'd jump up there & rap on the window screen until I came to the door. Cats can play dumb but they're actually quite smart.
Happy Caturday, Jessi! π±
Hmm those look like some overly intelligent cats. We better contact the president and he can put a smart tariff on catsβ¦. It worked with penguins right? π³

Iβve never seen the π± back leg drumming! π€©
Thank you Jessi π
Me too!!
So like I have 0 doubt a a velociraptor could open a door aside from them being like 1/3 the size of the film versions.

People didn't believe me until it happened while they were there.
I made them answer it just to see their shocked face when the cat sauntered in. Priceless π
Oh my God, FBI let me in
Hysterical!
Haha
