I mean these cat got their head stuck in bread, had to wear countless weird glasses, go through labyrinths, and you expect them to react to a bit of string? They just can't be bothered anymore

[@lordvinduim.ilikebloxycola9861]

Ha funny

[@lordvinduim.ilikebloxycola9861]

My cats would dislike doing all of those things (except for string), and I’d probably get scratched a bunch by newest cat ,that I got from someone else, if I tried to pick them up to do those, and if I did manage to, I’d also get scratched. He’s also big and weighs around 17 pounds, and I am small so it’s really hard to pick him up, even for my mom (She can pick him up but it’s easier to for her than for me, and if she tries to hold him for too long, her arms starts to hurt from how heavy he is).

The mirror test in #2 is to see if the animals realize it's them. You put them in front of a mirror and add a dot to their heads. If they try to remove the dot on themselves, then they recognize themselves. Donno how helpful that would be.

[@jwoolman5]

My cats always react only when they first see themselves in a mirror. They sniff it, maybe look behind it. Once they decide that there is no actual cat there, they lose interest in mirrors forever...

[@jwoolman5]

@@jackielinde7568 - that’s where the language barrier is also important. How do we know that the cat doesn’t know the image in the mirror is them? Maybe they just aren’t bothered by the dot on their head.... Look at these cats, refusing to give the pet human the satisfaction of reacting to a bunch of string put on their heads. “Ignore it and they will go away.” I have actually heard of at least cat reported to use a mirror to see when her pet human was coming near and reacting accordingly. There may have been a YiuTube video proving it. But cats also have plenty of other ways to know what we are doing and where we are, we are the ones who have deficient senses in this regard. That’s why they look so surprised when we step on them without realizing they are there, when to them they did the equivalent of stomping into the bathroom yelling. They do realize the difference between deliberate attack and accident, fortunately.

A few stories abt a Maine coon I had for 16 yrs. 1. I used to give her 3 treats when I got from work every night. But my mom after I moved back in with her after an auto accident noticed something: she was totally eager for the first two treats, bus while I was fishing out the 3rd treat, she got a grumpy look.on her face and laid her ears back. OFC she still got the treat, but knew it would be the last that night. Mom said, "She can count!" 2. She learned early on that cats in mirrors weren't real. Until we moved into our new house and had stuff in boxes stacked in living room. One unboxed item was a Cheval mirror, which has an independent stand and ROTATES so it can face either direction, or face up or down. Some of the boxes were stored under the mirrorwhere we had itvrotated facing down bc storage space was dead. Miss Brat being cat always, of course, explored the stacks of boxes like they were her personal jungle gym. Then she got onto the boxes UNDER the mirror, looked around where to go next, and was so startled by the cat in the mirror ABOVE her that she gave out the loudest hiss I'd ever heard from her. 3. As a general rule. She tended tonignore anything that was on the TV, until 1 yr a friend from work gave me a vid of hummingbirds for my birthday. So we sat down to watch it, cat curled up between us, head on paws, but somewhere along the line she caught the bird movement on the TV and spent the entire rest of the video trying to find her way inside the TV so she could catch them. We laughed ourselves silly, OFC. Other: We had above able alarm for our back door, battery operated (1985-1994ish), that was shaped like an oversized padlock, and was triggered by anyone touching our doorknob. Operated on a capacitor switch. The being touching the knob would change the capacitance level, thus activating the internal capacitor to complete the circuit, and the alarm would go off, with loud repeating beeps. A couple of young cats from a neighbor's house had adopted my mom and she'd give them treats when they came for pets and scritchies.. and one time one of them reached up to.pat the doorknob, I guess trying to jiggle it. Set the alarm off. They got treats. Of course. But they also decided that alarm was their personal "ring for treats" bell. So, yeah, cats can be smart in some ways and not so in others, but we love them anyway.

[@ToastyGhost700]

My cat was deffinatly a genius. I have so many stories of her that prove this lol. My favorite is how, she was an outsidd cat, so she would wonder a lot. One time she disappeared on us for around 2 to 3 weeks and came back meowimg with two callors on (a normal callor and a flea callor) she knew exactly where her home was. And when we moved she figured out her surroundings in just a few days. She was also a excellent hunter. She sadly passed away last year, but I remember her like it was yesturday. May she rest in peace :)

She knows Sit, Kisses, C’mere, Eat time, Treats, I love you and various signals; for example, when I Pat my side twice she knows to follow me and when I rub my fingers together she knows to follow my fingers with her gaze because I’m going to lead her attention to an object. She then knows to check out that object. Couldn’t have asked for a better cat! Edit: She also will FaceTime my boyfriend. One time I magnified her screen so she could stare at herself (she’s very vain) and then minimized it to the corner of the screen. Instead of looking at my boyfriend she looked at herself in the little box in the corner.

Yea my cat does several different meows for food wanting to be petted and just happy and when they are wild and my other cat does some dif meows for like food happy and neutral both my cats know a clicking sound and know when I’m going upstairs so I can pet them while they are eating

It's because she has sensitive skin issues and the donut is a less uncomfortable alternative for a cone. :-)

brooooo bella is so cute, it was adorable when she was leading you to her bowl and checking behind her just to make sure you were still there and then she just meowed, and ralph’s fur is just the most fluffiest thing.

In the 80s I taught my cat at the time to not wake me up in the morning but wait patiently, and she taught a new kitten the same by herself, and to this day none of my cats wake me up or fuss about food until I get up. They also share the food off the same plate and don't hog it all even for the ones that aren't there. That also has been passed on as good manners without me training them or introducing it to new kittens.

[@KiaSoulEV-rt4sg]

what breed is she?

[@deleteduser303.]

My cat Gnappa does different sounds for different needs. She is a Siamese and sometimes she does a very deep and sad meow. People might think that she's sick, but she actually does this when she can't find something/someone (she meows like this when I hide or when I hide her toy). That's why my cat cult's catchphrase is "Gnappa Speaks, Gnappa Spricht, Ñappa Habla, Νιάπα Μιλάει, Gnappa Parla"

I think of my cats as very dumb - one learned how to open the door from outside but not from the inside, and still meows when she wants to get out 😆 - but they can sit on command and give their paws when I ask them and I tell you, this one is not about how intelligent your cat is, but how food-driven it is.

[@GMaster4308]

My cat loves nerf darts. So we always have to make sure we get them all. We had ordered a ton off amazon once, and they were still in the amazon cardboard box, with a package opened, and the box tabs where folded over as we do so it stays closed on its own. Anyway, I kept having to take away brand new darts my cat was playing with. So I took it away, then set about watching her. She would go over to the cardboard box, peel back a flap reach in and get a new dart out, then run around the house playing with it like mad. So she knew where the darts where, and they where her favorite toy, and she would get a new one if we took it away while she was actively playing with it. Smart enough for me.

@The mammal I read a book about cats since I liked cats and I found this fact in the book

[@testerwulf3357]

@The mammal Animals are very good at picking up different tones. They can tell who you are by your voice and likewise can tell your mood based on voice. The cat that belongs to my boyfriend's family doesn't really come when he calls for it but when I do you'll hear happy chirps as it strolls right in to greet me, and with telling mood and who by voice I have a story where I stepped on horrible splinters and while he was helping remove them the cat came running to my distress and immediately jumped up next to me looking me up and down to assess the situation before laying on my hurt foot's leg and purring like crazy (cats can heal better with purrs and I assume he was trying to heal me and make me feel better..very sweet cat). Animals know who we are by our voice similar to we people recognize each other's different voices and tell somewhat by tone each others emotions..pets are just better at this as they have a larger range they hear in with much better hearing which makes changes in voices stick out like sore thumb to them.

LOL! Speaking of cat's daily routines and/or how they get you to feed them, I had a cat for a time, Sonny. I was his fourth and final owner; he was 15 when I got him and passed four years later. Anyway, every day at about 3:00 pm, Sonny used to sit about midway in the room and just stare at me until I fed him. He never meowed or moved. He just... stared. Every, single day for one-two hours. For dinner I always feed my cats at the same time of day, 4:00 pm (5:00 during daylight saving time). It was an experience. You cannot imagine how unnerving it is to be stared at until you have a cat just staring at you, every day for hours.

My male cat can tell the difference between cheap cheese and expensive cheese. He refuses to eat any cheapy cheeses but only likes the real expensive ones.
