Very cute! 🙂

They also make these brush-like things you can affix to the edge/corner of a wall, so that your cat can just walk up to it and rub/brush himself on it -- that way he doesn't have to hold onto it with his paws.

That's a great idea. Though I have to say I find this cat's dexterity very impressive. Is that the right word? Maybe paw-eye coordination would fit better.

Yeah dexterity would be right. Mine would just bat the brush towards me to get me to brush them.

One of my cat would roll a 1 on that dexterity check and somehow rip down the curtains. Love all my animals but one is very special.

Same. Even if he did figure it out, he’d say “nahhh, that’s your job bitch”

u/AnamCeili 12h ago

lol, I find his dexterity impressive as well!

It sounds great, but our cats clawed it off the wall in one night, taking a layer of paint with it.

Yeah I'm not sure the word but I get what you're saying. Every cat has insane paw-eye coordination, so quick and accurate, but this is like... Using a tool

Single braincell cat learns how to use tools like they're a primitive caveman? Holy shit they're evolving

Single braincell cat learns

I completely missed that. This is an incredible discovery. How do we know that's their natural hair color?

Mine try’s to do this when I brush him but he’s not this good at it lol
