But have you ever heard of the cats doing it on their own? Our feline friends must have started to clock on to how fun it is if this video is anything to go by.
When the clip starts, you see a cat being entertained with someone dangling a fishing rod just out of reach.
The cat is going for it, but the person controlling the rod is just too fast. Presumably, it’s an owner having a laugh at their poor cats expense. But no.
The video soon reveals that it is actually ANOTHER CAT who is doing the teasing, and what’s more is he looks like he is having a blast.
Now this has us wondering: do they take it in turns to swing the fishing rod, or is the white cat the big boss of the house.
Either way, this video just shows that our cats are a lot smarter than we think. What next, cats indulging in a spot of actual fishing?
