A creative cat and having fun in his own way
The author of the publication explains that the cat in question is that of his sister and that he answers to the name of Stanley. The animal has invented a game that he loves to play, he also says in the caption of the video.
”
The images first show the feline standing on a carpet, facing his cat tree / scratching griff. The structure is surmounted by a basket at the bottom of which is an object. The game created by the animal consists of kicking under said basket to make the toy jump in the air, then go to retrieve it to start again. Stanley even sometimes tries to catch up with the object in mid-flight after throwing it using his very personal technique.”
”
The sequence is further proof that cats are endowed with remarkable intelligence. It also reminds us that we never get bored with these incredible beings and that they will always amaze us.”
