Octopus Reacts to Cat - Episode 4

In episode 4 of Octopus reacts our octopus comes face to face with a cat. Having never seen a cat, he is cautious as to how he will approach the furry feline. Two beautiful, intelligent, majestic creatures from two very different worlds meet for the first time.

[@TheMrSarcastic]

Octopus: Am I not the most alien thing you’ve ever seen? Cat: Indifference.

[@viddeliten]

Cat actually seemed quite uneasy about that creature!

[@Commandelicious]

@@viddeliten Did the kitten though? Was just a "whats this? ... ah, can't smell it. Is behind glas. I don't care ..." while the octopus just WANTED TO PET THE KITTY, obviously :D

An octopus has no tentacles. They are called arms. Tentacles only have suckers at the tips, like on a squid or cuttlefish.

[@annehaight9963]

Octopuses mimic other creatures in their environment in the wild. Sometimes for defensive purposes. So it's never seen a cat before, and is observing to learn the cat's appearance, form, and behavior so that it can mimic that.

Wow what a reaction from the octopus - he was copying the cat's tail in the end wasn't he - and he seemed to know when kitty had fallen asleep, that's when he came out, danced around, made a big spectacle of himself - before hiding again! But copying kitty's tail - wow, wonder what made him do that!

[@LittleKitty22]

@Liza Tanzawa I get the feeling octopuses are even more intelligent than we thought! Can they read minds maybe...? It wouldn't surprise me! It looked to me like octo knew this was a kitty, even though he most likely had never seen one before!

[@ev8870]

I think he did it after the cat got up and stretched too. (3:20) The cat stretches, then stands still with it's tail up Immediately, the octopus sticks out two tentacles and holds them vertically with a curl at the end Then the cat sits down and curls its tail down to the floor and little octo lays his two tentacles down the same way. Maybe I'm reading too much into it tho. Maybe the octopus is just wondering where the rest of this poor guy's tentacles are. lol

[@LittleKitty22]

@@ev8870 Haha - no, I think octo knows kitty is not an octopus. Octopuses are very intelligent. But I'd love to know why he copied the cat! He must really love kitty, one doesn't copy someone who one hates. Fascinating! Maybe octos love cats...?

[@ev8870]

@@LittleKitty22 Octopods are indeed very smart. They communicate with each other through colour and body posture The description mentions this octopus has never seen a cat before.
