That's so dumb but so smart at the same time. I'm confused.

[–]ikefalcon 29 points30 points  (3 children)

I would say it’s just smart. It’s not really a fair criticism to call a cat dumb for not understanding what a computer is.

[–]ProfessorCrawford 4 points5 points  (2 children)

My cat is always disappointed when I watch F1 and she can't find the car leaving the side of the TV.

[–]anythingwithamotor 4 points5 points  (1 child)

My cat will sit in front of the tv and duck whenever they do the camera shot where the car is coming straight at you and goes over the camera. I love watching Spa with him because they go to the track camera at the beginning of Eau Rouge all the time and he just sits there and ducks as the cars go over his head.

[–]ProfessorCrawford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is hilarious, and Spa is my bucket list F1.

RIP Anthoine Hubert

It's smart the first time they look, it's dumb after they keep looking for a week . . .

The cat thinks the laptop is a second window.

It's strange that cats understand the concept of windows.

[–]NoClueDad 238 points239 points  (9 children)

I think that's a Mac.

[–]YouMissedCakeDayHaHa 34 points35 points  (5 children)

It's definitely a window, most buildings have them.

[–]prettyfly4aporkpie 19 points20 points  (3 children)

you can install windows on a house, but not on a mac.

Macs are for filthy perverts.

Underrated joke

No, I think his name is Mr Fluffy.

[–]prosound2000 25 points26 points  (6 children)

You think that's interesting then you should know that there are primatologists that believe that primates like Chimpanzees have entered their own stone age and are evolving down the same pathway as humans.

And you probably already know about how smart crows are.

[–]thealthor 20 points21 points  (3 children)


I am a bit of a pessimist here, but I just feel like humans unintentionally will prevent that from going any further.

Our human ancestors were in the stone age for over 2 million years, not even sure if Chimpanzees will last that long in the wild, let alone be provided with the environmental conditions to continue down that path.

Yes indeed.

[–]gumbo_chops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don't need to understand a window to see out of one.

[–]Caffeinist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really that strange. I mean, my cat often sits in the window waiting for me. When he sees me going to the door he jumps down to greet me.

And sometimes, when I first go to throw away the trash and then double back for the tram, he looks seriously pissed off or disappointed. Or both.

[–]Pitterpatter119 35 points36 points  (1 child)

Those videos are great! When my kitty was sick and I couldn't get him to eat, I put these sort of videos on for him, and he'd get a bit of an appetite. I figured it was basically the food network for cats

[–]turtlturtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's so sweet

[–]5nizzard 52 points53 points  (5 children)

Lol my dog does this kinda. If a morsel of food drops from my fork onto my plate he looks down at the floor confused as to why it didn't hit the ground

[–]Chunkyisthebest 17 points18 points  (4 children)

My dog runs into the hallway on the other side of the wall the tv hangs on looking for the dogs on screen when they’re running away from the camera.

[–]EvrybodysNobody 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mine tries to look behind the oven when he sees his own reflection. I had to show him his twin wasn’t stuck inside the oven a few times before he stopped whining at each occurrence

[–]5nizzard 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Holy shit that's hilarious. I wish my dog watched TV I would die to see that

[–]Charles_the_Seagull 12 points13 points  (1 child)

You think that, until your dog loses its shit for the 9,467th time at every show, movie or commercial with an animal in it.

[–]5nizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn nevermind then lol

[–]Twoehy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean from that cat's perspective that seems way more likely than the truth, which is that a magic box with an eyeball somewhere else is showing them a recreation of what that metal eyeball sees.

[–]tink1272 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just love animals. They are such an endless source of joy.

[–]christeeeeeea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Other cat by the laptop looking back like “y’all see this?”

[–]kimmeljs 6 points7 points  (1 child)

My dog watched a nature program with moose on TV and once the moose disappeared from view, he went behind the TV set to see (the TV was on a stool, with lots of space behind it).

[–]lushico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog did this with wolves!

[–]jkid247 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought the screen was a cat door for a sec

[–]Putinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My cat watched a World Cup game with me, except he was sitting right by the screen and kept running around it trying to find the ball when it got kicked offscreen. He eventually started getting upset so I I had to toss a pingpong ball in the right direction for him.

[–]SmugPumpkin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dog does this with TV. Our tv is on the middle level. To the right are the stairs down. To the left are the stairs up.

If an animal runs off either side of the TV he will bolt up/down stairs and then come back looking confused.

Side note: he did NOT like the dog scene in GoT.. they were mean dogs. He ran and hid...

[–]RomulaFour 3 points4 points  (1 child)

How big is your cat?? He looks huge!

[–]JonasPolskyAMA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Laptop = Little Window

[–]Argorash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good demonstration of cats having object perminance

[–]turtlturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is kinda making me feel bad for the confusion our animals feel all the time

[–]jagua_haku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This place looks like heaven, with all these minions just roaming around

[–]NotTheRocketman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your own little surveillance crew. Hook them up with a PI job and they would be great. "What do you mean you lost the suspect? He was RIGHT THERE!"

[–]nnaatteedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The orange one turns around to the disinterested one in the corner of the video like "you seeing this shit!?!?!?"

[–]kitkat9000take5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a void named Kitten who would often sit in our windows. Depending on which floor he was on, when whatever he was looking at moved out of sight, he'd run to the other floor trying to catch sight of them again. He did this for years.

[–]BackwardPalindrome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for someone to tell me why this is actually animal abuse and how op scarred these cattos for life.

[–]Hammer1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, at least it knows trajectory analysis. Now if it could just understand the concept current vs. past reality, we'd be in a world of trouble.

[–]KingDestruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard somewhere that cats don't have very good spacial memory so the outside in the screen doesn't seem like a different outside in the window. That, or cats are dorks 🤷‍♂️

[–]RoyalPeaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahah I had to save this video. Cracked me up. I love cats

[–]Lemon_Kiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same curtains! Yay walmart buddies

[–]Arlymejia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Bizarre Reddit post yet.. and I love it.

[–]i_am_zombie_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering "Why the hell would they put a cat door into a wall?!?" I'm a little slow apparently.

[–]NataRenata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smart cat!

Time to get a new cat.

Do this enough, with no results, he's gonna give up on Newtonian physics.

[–]Spypals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should be scared since they are able to use computer cameras so effectively

[–]Nivius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm WATCHING VERY CLOSELY, maybe i will miss it, it must be extremely subtle

[–]Valstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put the exact same video on for my cat earlier this week, she spent 20 minutes searching the room for a bird that flew offscreen.

[–]VioletSPhinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human tech must seem like some strange magic to other animals who don’t understand it and try to make sense of it. I guess the same reaction would be from a cave man if you showed them out tech like that now lol

Kids these days

[–]dittany_didnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get them a security camera so they can watch what’s going on outside!

[–]Lightfiretx 0 points1 point  (0 children)


[–]Seanconw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of joy things like this bring to me is unmeasurable

[–]SuperSimpleSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we go further? Can you change the clip on the laptop to one for rain or snow while the bird flies away? Will the cat realize the weather is different?
How about if you play this clip for them?

[–]ScoopOKarma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He must think it's meowgic
