I'm so glad that many of you enjoy the video.
Some answers for your questions: Roy and Moss are brothers from the same litter, they are almost 4 years old. We named them after the IT Crowd characters. They are both smart in their own way. Moss (on the left) is good at solving puzzles as he is very food motivated. On the other hand, he can't figure out how to properly cover his poop. 😄 Also only Roy's able to open doors, drawers or cabinets. They are playful but gentle cats. I think they are not aware of their strength otherwise they would have destroyed the puzzle toy for the treats. Sometimes they have disagreements but never on the food, they share their food without any problems.
Thanks for the answers. They seemed to get on so well I figured they had to be siblings. Cool video.
Roy and Moss like from the IT crowd? Lool
Roy and Moss are beautiful and very clever! Thank you for sharing your sweet kitties with us!
Background info. Yay!
"Can't figure out how to properly cover his poop"? Oh, he knows how. He just can't be bothered. 🤣
Left cat: Thinker Right cat: Opportunist
Awesome.😅
Word...
Oh yea you can see it. There is a winner every time
Right cat = Star athlete
Left cat = Does the other cat's homework
😂😂
I was waiting for the “just push it off the table” move.
Me too! That's definitely what my cat would've done.
Mine too. Almost immediately
I saw a video the other day of a cat trying that move on a table which had a lip. Felt so sorry for puss!
The cat on the left is both smart and polite/diplomatic, turning the puzzle so he can pull the handle without making his sibling move spots.
The cat on the right is both stupid and rude, leaving the puzzle and handle while blocking his sibling
@@kinbolluck476 haha, true
@@kinbolluck476 stupid is a bit harsh. Sheesh. What did your pet cat do to you when you were young? Lmao.
Left cat- classy and diplomatic.
Right cat- wolf of Wall Street
When you solve the puzzle but you are on the wrong side of the puzzle.
we all had people in our group project like that... smh
It's like watching your sibling / friend play Portal (2), and struggling with a chamber you've solved before, but you're not allowed to help.
He was expecting the treats to come out the same side as the first ones did. Though he was a bit slow making the connection with the blue discs. Almost as if he had to learn it each time. Beautiful cats though
I felt bad for him....
@@stormwatcher59 So did I! I came here to comment that it seemed a little unfair that Moss solved the puzzle, but the food came out the other side! 😥
Right side cat is definitely management material
Officer. Or potus
He certainly has the high energy, pro-active and low efficiency traits down.
You don't know how to set an away message on your Outlook, Frank? You're promoted!
well he is smarter than biden ... but then so is a trash can ...
Definitely delegated well.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I rooted for them like I was watching a movie or something.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
I kept saying “pull the string” aloud… seems the left cat heard me?! 😉😆
Same😂
😂
The cat on the left is extremely smart. I love how he patiently waited for the other kitty to pull on the string and finally turned the puzzle around so he could reach it himself. 🤯❤
right!
social AND smart
That’s also a good example of how communication gave us and other species a huge evolutionary advantage over species that couldn’t communicate. In such a situation a person who understands the problem would just tell the other what to do.
I love the 'ol classic cat strat of "what if I just shove my entire head in here though, will that work?" 0:55
It almost never does but it looks hilarious.
Hi! I have a beautiful kitten too 😘🐱🧺
ua-cam.com/video/f_39UqD8q2w/v-deo.html
hahaha he also looks embarrassed immediately after when he remembers he's being recorded
😆😆😆😹
And also does the classic cat thing of "no, I didn't just do something silly. You were seeing things."
to be fair... If their whiskers and ears can fit... the rest of their body can... he only stopped as the tube was to high for him to easily 'reach in' with his head without choking himself :D
Years ago, I moved into a nice house, rent free. The owner of the house, a friend of my parents, had lost his wife and moved with their small child to another state but couldn’t bring himself to sell the house. I was young and single, had one dog and a demanding job. In exchange for no rent, my job was to pay the utilities and maintain the property (three acres and a pool) and help get the house ready to put on the market. The first time I walked into the house, my mother and a neighbor were doing dishes and generally tidying up. As I walked into the kitchen, I ran smack into a giant fluffy cat who failed to yield to me or my dog. Now, I was definitely not a “cat person”. I had never lived with an indoor cat. I hated litter boxes and had zero minus infinity interest in cleaning up after a cat. I immediately protested with, “whoa whoa whoa, no one said anything about a CAT!” to which my mother quickly replied, “well maybe someone else would like to live here rent free and take care of the cat!” I grumbled and conceded. As soon as I moved in the next day and was alone with the “creature”, we had a conversation…He told me he would like to go in and out at will and that he wanted to eat wet cat food at every meal and to sleep in the same bed with me. I told him, “I am not your servant. However, if you will pee and poop outdoors, I will let you in and out whenever you ask and give you wet food every day and you can sleep in my room as long as you don’t get near my face. Deal?” It was a Deal.
We lived relatively harmoniously. He teased my dog relentlessly, provoking wild chases down a long hallway that would end with my dog run ragged, he cuddled constantly which irritated me, he opened cabinets, turned on faucets to drink fresh water, and only pooped in the litter box once in the two years I lived there.
One day I came home and he was limping severely. I contacted the owner and he told me where to take him to the vet and he would pay the bill. The vet was surprised to see him. The tech told me that this was a “fancy” cat that the wife had bought specifically because he was a Norwegian Forest Cat mixed with a Mainecoon because she adored both breeds. I didn’t really care what kind of cat he was as long as he didn’t cause me more work. Around the same time, I met my now wife. The first time she came to my place she stood with her mouth gaped open when she saw the cat. “Omg, what a gorgeous cat! You didn’t tell me you had a cat!” I said, “he’s not my cat, we just live together.” “You don’t like him?” “He’s alright, we have some agreements, but I can’t stand him trying to claw me all the time.” “Wow, he tries to claw you? Is he aggressive?” “Um, not really, he just does this thing (I demonstrate bread kneading) and digs his claws into me, I hate it so I kick him off my lap all the time.” She paused for a long time and looked at me like I was completely stupid before saying, “have you tried trimming his claws?” I thought about my response for an awkward amount of time and said, “um, no. I didn’t know you could do that.” The next day my new girlfriend, who at this point was actively thinking “this relationship is NOT going to work out”, showed up at my house with cat claw clippers. She sat down on the couch, the cat jumped up and sat down next to her, she petted him all over and then grabbed a paw. He calmly and happily let her give him a full kitty manicure. I am pretty sure I wouldn’t be married if it weren’t for that cat. She pretty much stayed because she couldn’t stand the thought of leaving him!
We ended up with that cat moving with us to a new house, then across country and then another move. I grew to LOVE him so much that I cried for weeks when he died of cancer. He was the smartest, gentlest, nicest cat I’ve ever met and I’m so happy I had a full cat lifetime of memories with him.
Such a lovely story! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Just beautiful.
Wonderful memories 🥰
thanks for sharing
I am so glad that you accidentally became a cat dad. We can share such joy with our pets. So much that it's worth the heartbreak. I hope you have new generation of them now, and more joy.
There both very respectful of each other
They seem pretty good about sharing; that was surprising.
Exactly what I thought!
@@elhoward7440- I'm trying hard to make my husband understand why I feed our two cats from just one bowl - it's just so interesting to watch them deal with it - learning to share it's good for humans as well as animals.
Левый обо всех заботится, а правый только о себе. Они близнецы?
@@Ploiesti2001 Most people with 2 cats end up with one fat one and one skinny one until the skinny one get fed on top of the fridge where the fat one can no longer get!
Left cat is a genius.
My cat would of solved the puzzle by meowing at me incessantly until I got the treats out of it for her.
My friend's gang of three would have beat the hell out of the puzzle, eventually pushing it over...they do this on and off with their automated feeder...but, haven't figured out how to get the strapping tape off, so the top doesn't come off...awwww...humans 1, kitties 0...you bet we're proud at out maneuvering three nine pound American shorthairs...😁
Typical cat. Why work when you have slaves?
😂
My young cat would have knocked the whole thing over to get to the treats. 😼
Your cat would have spelled "have" better than you.
The cat on the left is really smart. Both look adorable
Both are smart in their own way. :) Moss is good at figuring out these games but only Roy can open doors, cabinets and drawers. :)
@@RoyandMoss :
.
Willing to bet “smart in their own way” means they don’t need a reason to defeat or open anything either !
.
“You are always smarter.”
“No, you’re always smarter.”
@@RoyandMoss But how polite they are!!! Are they naturally so gentle? And they look glorious. Congratulations! :)
@@greatbriton8425 Thank you! Yes, they are really sweet cats! They are playful but wouldn't bite or scratch us on purpose when we play with them.
I was expecting them (being cats) to just push it off the table and break it, but solving it intelligently is a close second.
I love how some cats are 'mouthy' and some are 'pawsy' in their problem solving approaches - you seem to have one of each :)
haha. Moss, on the left, is solving the puzzle--and a very clever puzzle solver he is! Roy, on the right, is simply using "tools" that dog's don' t have. His clever, hand-like paws. I am surprised that the cats didn't go for the most cat-like solution (though the one on the left almost did)...push the puzzle off the table. 😹 They're both beautiful, smart and, clearly, very sweet.
That would have been hilarious; knocking everything off the table!
From my own experience, cats push things off the table when there's nothing to gain from it other than the sheer pleasure of creating havoc!😂
I do have 5 cats and I do clearly see they have very different skills along with different personalities. 3 are truly cats, behave like cats and have cat personalities. 2 are different. 1 is street smart (gets along with all the cats and dogs in the neighborhood, finds her own food and manages to open every single door and drawer in the house), the other a complete nerd (likes to watch TV with me, knows that touching the TV remote makes something happen on the TV, plays cat games on the smartphone and spent days looking at the faucet until understand how to turn it on). Yeah, I do have a problem now...
Be thankful they don't have opposable thumbs.
Sounds like you’re not married
@@chriscuomo9334 we’ve been married but he had some allergies so we had to put him for adaption… unfortunately. But he now has found he’s forever home
My cats caused a super flood in my house. The sink was overflowing at full blast for 6 hours!
@@MariaMMCardosoFor future reference: I became allergic to cats, too, and often wheeze around other cats. But we have two at home which don't cause it. What worked for me was desensitization shots 30 years ago, plus wiping the first generation of cats down once a week with a washcloth which was dampened with distilled water.
One is left brain the other right brain. the left brain is logic while the right is creativity and intuition
I got my cat a puzzle, filled it in with treats. After checking her head didn't fit she just looked at me like I was an idiot who didn't know how to provide treats. That lasted over half a minute then she gave up on me and figured out the puzzle in less than ten seconds.
That's cat's for you. Never do it yourself unless the appointed lackey has failed at their task.
@@poleaxed6447 i would say the cat on the left then is said lackey.
Reading this, I just imagined how cats could solve every problem on earth in a short time, but choose to think "How stupid are you guys?" instead :D
My cat can open doors. Even properly closed ones, but especially when they are just ajar. It takes her literally SECONDS to stick her little paw in between and pull it open.
Do you think she does, though? Nope. Every single time she sits down in front of the door, turns around and stares at me like, "Can't you see I want to go out? Get up already and open it for me!" After about 30 seconds she starts meowing loudly, and if I still don't get up by the minute mark, she does eventually open it herself, while loudly proclaiming what a failure of a servant I am 😂
Was waiting for them to solve the problem by pushing it off the table like most cats would do. Very smart and adorable cats.
My little one would've destroyed it until he gets what he wants xD
I was thinking the same thing! I used to have cat that loved to push stuff off tables and watch with fascination while broken pieces bounced on the floor. Lost many plates and glasses..😁
During the part when left kitty was pushing the whole thing, I may have started chanting "PUSH IT OFF. PUSH IT OFF!"
Otherwise known as the "Screw this, I'm Sick of this Game" method.
Me too, I thought they'd knock it right over.
Cat on the left is clearly the better problem solver, and has superior group cohesion skills.
I just lost my furry baby and my heart hearts watching cats. I love them so much. God bless all the animals, especially those purring felines❤️
They are so polite to each other. No fighting over food.
Только потому что сыты оба
that usually means theres plenty of food, no need to fight for it.
I noticed it too, they are completely social! You are right!
They don't look very hungry to me.
There's always that one teammate who does nothing to contribute but reaps all the rewards.
The left side cat is the smarter one....pulling the string to let the food down...but I loved how the right side cat tried to put his whole face into the cylinder trying to get to the treats...😆🤣
That kitty's like 'wait, I solved it and they all fell on your side!'
If they had thumbs, they'd rule the world.
Opposable*
They don't need that. They already rule 😐😸🥰
My cat watches me play games on my pc, I'm sure if she had opposable thumbs shed kick my butt at those games!
that's why god left the thumbs off when he made them
Right up until they invented whiskey.
I like the moment of biting the tube.
"I did something like this last time..."
"Oh, wait, there it is."
Observation is one of the cat's strong points. This was awesome. Love my cats.
Left cat: comes up with elegant solution
Right cat: uses brute force.
Awesome to see
They are so graceful even when "competing" over treats.
Hi! I have a beautiful kitten too 😘🐱🧺
ua-cam.com/video/f_39UqD8q2w/v-deo.html
Norweigan forest cats ARE like that, calm, well behaved & so so soo kind!
Easy to adjust to anything, kids, other cats, dogs, new homes and so on.. Easy going & really good friends!
They are a "natural" breed so they are often really healthy. They most often dosen't have any breeding related issues..
I've had the pleassure off having 2, one male & one female.. they are the best friends you'll ever have!
My cat was a mixture with norweigan forest...she lived to age 17.....I loved her.....I really miss her every day.....it's been 3 years.....she was gorgeous and everything you say....Best friend I ever had....tried to warn me when a tree fell on my house....she heard the crackling.....she wanted to save me.....I know I'll meet her at the Rainbow Bridge...🌈
@@ingridakerblom7577 no. the one on the right is obvious the greedy n brainless one while the one on the left luv to solve puzzles more. kinda complementary really.
They take turns. Very polite.
I love how they take turns eating treats. They're intelligent, beautiful, and so gentle! Thanks for sharing
Same exact thought. They were so patient and adorable.
No, just lacking testosterone. :-) Our tom-cat hurled the automatic feeder 2 meters through the room for to crack the opening mechanism.
intelligent? i could of solved this way faster
One of them anyway, the other is just beautiful :D
@@Timorio if you're a cat, then kudos to you for being the Einstein of your species, you even learned English ^^ jokes aside, they meant "intelligent for a cat". Mine isn't and he would just push that toy off the table and give up if no treats come out
I am a life-long dog person (German Shepherds) and have never had a cat in the home. But these guys......they are BEAUTIFUL! It's a breed i have never heard of, and they are fascinating to watch. I have no idea why this video popped up in my feed, but I'm glad it did!
The algorithm works in mysterious ways and now it got it right for you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the compliments 😊 I love dogs especially larger types but I've never had one. Cats are a better fit to our lifestyle so we chose one of the breeds which is the closest you can get to dogs. They are big and playful (they reach full size and maturity after 5 years), smart, affectionate, easy to teach and gentle.
My 2 Maine Coons were among the Best friends I've ever had...whether they had 2 legs or four.
🤔 Perhaps the Cat Distribution System has infiltrated the YT algorithm in an attempt to convert non-cat people into future cat people 😸😸😁
I like the surprise vids, too
I don't think people realize how smart cats really are! They can solve problems, they use their mouths to get things or carry things alot more than I even realized. They are beautiful too!!
I'm amazed the whole thig wasn't pushed on to the floor!
I was waiting for it!
If they were really hungry it would have been on the floor very fast
It was heading that way. Maybe they knew it was plastic so why bother. It’s not breakable.😃
Cats are more intelligent than that. They use their heads, they think before they do.
I lost my beloved Norwegian Forest kitty last year. 19 wonderful years with her. Even non cat people liked her. These cats are wonderful, and very intelligent.
I'm sorry for your loss :(
It was a tough year. I’m sorry you lost you friend. The only thing that gets me through the loss of my cats is that I am soooo grateful that they were in my life! What characters they are! These cats are wonderful.
I want this container so I can test my two cats!
@@skylark1250 lost my Turbokitty a couple months later. Got them both when I moved to Louisiana for three years. They were actually going to euthanize my Gracie, because she'd been returned by another family. She was amazing, such a loving cat. I simply couldn't leave her there. She was a loving cat,purred almost constantly, loved everyone.
@@richsmith7200 I’ve still got Big Kitty and Little Kitty. (Never let your engineer husband name the cats!😛
@@skylark1250 my ex wife has interesting names for her babies. 'Tik Tik', 'Swiffer', 'Frisk Frisk', 'Mew Mew'.....maybe she stutters and I never noticed it....
I love how cats steadfastly refuse to learn from each other!
It's fun to see how they approach the puzzle differently.
They are not only smart but also very nice and "polite" with each other. I would have expected at least some growls and some quarrel fo the food.
“Well fed”
Some cats are good natured like that. The cat I grew up with would groom other animals as they ate her food lol
Yes I was thinking its a lesson in cat manners as well as cat problem solving strategies
"They" are not smart. Just the one on the left was.
Cats never fight for food, while other animals do.
Notice how neither one of them became frustrated and started self grooming, or fighting. They just continued to analyze the Target.
Left kitty is so smart and polite. Even though he figured it out all 3 times he was allowing the other cat to go first if he wanted to.
Maine coons are very bright, personable, HUGE! When my twins were babies, ours, named Sloppy, would allow them to lay on him, snuggle, sometimes with aggressive, like loving fervor and he loved them, till he passed away at 20 years old. Great videos! So bright they are!
Better problem solving ,cooperation and sharing then some of the work places I've worked in. Good looking kitties too.
Lol
Must have been PRETTY disfunctional as one cat did all the work and cooperation exclusively was spotted in the eating part :D
Didn't see much intelligence in getting the food, although I'm sure they're smart cats. Just pussies trying a few moves till one randomly worked (pulling the thread).
Exactly
My tips on dealing with a complicated work environment: Compliments work to get people to cooperate and be less at odds.
Fictional situation with me and two others (who even might low-key dislike each other). You talk to both A and B, try to get one of them to say something *nice* about the other, or at least agree to something positive.
Then this conversation:
Me (talking to A): Yeah, and B thinks so, too. You do a great job (insert the *actual compliment* B made).
Chances are, A is going to say something positive about B now. If not, keep trying until they do.
Now you repeat the same while talking to B.
Basically, you do inverse-gossip; instead of spreading the bad things people say behind each others' backs, you make sure everybody knows the good things people appreciate about them.
Once you got the first two to be cautiously friendly, it tends to become easier with the other coworkers. Start with whoever gives you an opening ... the most important thing is to get any opening at all.
Do not make up compliments that weren't actually made. People tend to catch on and it will most likely backfire with you suddenly as the enemy of all.
Stay sincere and as honest as possible, if something someone says or does really bothers you, I've found it best to stay true to myself and stick to my guns.
Keep it innocuous, depending on where you live, some topics are better left alone.
Caveat: this fake truce tends to break down the second you stop actively pushing it. Especially when you deal with self-centered people or those who are inclined to be mean (if it was all a big misunderstanding, though, this is a great solution and will take up no more of your time).
On the plus side, you have a much more relaxed work environment, less passive-aggressive drama or outright plotting. You might also find new friends along the road.
I find this strategy well worth my time and yeah, I know I manipulate people ... but I don't think it's unethical.
Also, cats are the best ;)
Part of the reason why the cat on the right seemed not to participate in the successful solution was that at first he did manage to get out a treat with his paw. On the other hand, the cat who has pulled out the tray once, could observe the connection between his action and its result, therefore it was much more likely that the same cat will also pull out 2 remaining trays. [No I'm not the attorney for the other cat, just trying to guess why it went like it went]
nah, the cat on the left of the picture is capitalist. it works smartly to feed itself. the cat on the right is socialist leader. it feed itself by the work of others.
@@tonirvd3650 lol yeah, as of no one feeds itself by the work of others in capitalism.
@@laza8675 nope, that's not how it works, other than the politicians then yes you are right
@@tonirvd3650 so you are telling me kylie jenner and many other rich kids dont live out from the work of others ? haha youre funny my dude
Nah dude. They catted. Flat out, pure catting.
The one on the left is the genius puzzle solver, except the other cat is the clever food grabber that wins the game.
Great video, cats are smart, it was a pleasure watching.
Thank you!
Mom had a black Norwegian Forest cat who was a stray and it took mom about 10 days to get her to come into the house at the start of a Canadian winter. She was black but when you opened her fur down by her skin her fur was white. Suki lived a wonderful life with mom.
They know how to share😭❤️
I never get tired of watching cats, including all past and present kitties, the two are patient and work on each others strengths
Moss just solved the last part for fun...he left without eating it..pure curiosity lol.... great cats!
I love how you can clearly see the lightbulb moment for the left one. The first slider came out as an "accidental" result of it probing the cord. The second slider clearly had a moment of "but what if I do this?" whereas you could see it target the wire on the side of the right one with laser accuracy (hey you try turning things without use of your thumbs).
Maybe it's because I have a Norwegian Forest Cat too that makes it so recognisable. The moment from "oops" to "but what if I..." to the moment you best buy padlocks for everything because he WILL get in... not "if" but "when...." becoming the question.
The padlock comment is so damn true haha, my old Norwegian would rather quickly figure out how door handles work - and light switches too, as well as faucets. Sometimes I'd walk out to the bathroom and just find the cat chilling in the sink with the tab open gushing water on its face xD
They took turns what well mannered little gentlemen
I love how they shared in the treats. My N.F. cat is similarly tolerant of equally portioning out a single can of wet cat food for a dinner of three. No fights and everyone goes away satisfied.
They're so polite with one another. 😊
The "left" side of the brains trust did all the nutting out and was outta there when the challenge was over. Team member No.2 just sat around looking "proactive" casting furtive glances at the overseer (always just out of frame) to see if his indispensable contribution is duly noted. I've worked in offices all my life with the same dynamic. Cats are endlessly fascinating animals. Did I say animal?
yes, you did
And when right side cat did do something, it only benefitted him lol. Yep witnesses that dynamic at work too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍IkR?!? If ppl were as cute as these cats, maybe I could put up w/ No.2 workers a little better 🐈. Although there's something to be said abt 'work smart not hard'!
The one on the right putting its head in 😂
Such lovely cats. Absolutely beautiful
Thank you!
Both are highly intelligent kitties. Not to mention, gorgeous! ❤
Thank you 😊
I love how they each take turns eating the treats 🥺 looks like they get along really really well!
Brothers. the loud fighting is later for fun. preferable 4am.
I was thinking they must be pretty well fed. Not much motivation to solve this (and I don't think cats really go in for problem solving, they're more about the prey drive so activities involving the chase - or the kill - are preferred)
people forget that siblings often do get on great an d are a good team... and cats raised with their sibs often have a different personality, and are sometimes more friendly with other cats too
i lived with a family of cats and was amazed at how in sync they were,
and how well they got along.
they protected each other, it wa s a jungle island with snakes, large monkeys and other dangers
These two are such adorable cuties; beautiful 🤩
Cats don't defend their food if it is in ample supply. But if they regularly have to wait a long time for food, they will be more apt to defend it.
Very civilized and socialized cats. I love how even if the left cat solved all the puzzles, he still didn't think everything belonged to him. This is teamwork and comradeship at its' best.
One of these cats is definitely smarter than the other 😅
It is so adorable how moss doesn't want Roy to look stupid, I guess they teach each other what they can better and share everything. Love ❤️😺
Cats are smarter than we give them credit for.
Very true!
They're smarter than YOU give them credit for. Important difference.
@@LordOfLight Try using 'underscore' on either side of "you" to indicate emphasis by italicizing the word, rather than looking like a doofus and SHOUTING out you.
It makes _you_ look like a moron and takes any from any point _you_ are wanting to make and seem smart. Well, more like smart arse!
What you did doesn't make sense. Try it, go on, say it out aloud and see which makes more sense.
And judging by your comment, I'd say those cats are smarter than _you_
This not only fits for cats, it fits for every animal!
That right one does not look so smart to me.
Owned a similar cat years ago, he looked identical to both of these, so cool. Little fella would bang his tail against the storm door to imitate knocking, when he wanted to be let inside. First time it happened I thought I was getting trolled because I couldn't see anyone at the door. lol
One of our cats learned to jump against the window in the family room where she knew we'd be sitting. She was too indignant (spoiled) to use the cat door in the garage and wanted us to let her in the "big" door.
One of my cats learned to scratch at the bathroom door when she wanted to use the litter box.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cat making you crazee
@@011dux That makes more sense, I only caught a glimpse once and his butt was against the door.
Wow, it’s so incredible to see the wheels turning in their minds !! Cats are so smart!!
I had a norweigan once. So smart, so funny, so one of a kind ❤️
He, Svein Sverker, loved to go for walks in the forrest with me and always slept in may face on my pillow. Still miss him 💔❤️🩹
Videos like this make me miss my beloved Samantha so much. She lived 20 years, has been gone 20 years now. She could jump in the air, catch a fly in her paws, and eat it before she landed. She once held off two attack poodles, who came after my wife and infant daughter. I believe if she had been presented with this puzzle it would have simply been pushed off the table. If that didn't work, she would then demand that I open it for her.
Wonderful post Daniel ... really felt all you said.
Daniel, you had a badass cat! I had one similar, when you loss one you can never replace them, but you can add another member to pride. Your cat will never leave you, she's just not with you at this time.
From what I've read an octopus could figure out something similar.
For a moment I thought the left cat was going to "solve" the puzzle by knocking the whole thing off the table and breaking it open. Which if you think about it isn't TOTALLY wrong since a cat doesn't have to play by the rules.
So much fun to watch
Of course that is cat rules 😂
So I'm not the only one who was half expecting the left cat to knock the whole thing over! :)
An octopus is the wrong kinda puss.what use is a puss that has to do everything under water? Under water no one can hear you meow!
I've heard that the octopus is an extremely intelligent animal with amazing problem solving skills. It also has some of the best vision in the animal world. Much better than humans.
One cat is either smarter or more motivated than the other.
Cats are very smart problem solvers! It's a trait mostly unique to predators due to them needing complex problem solving skills to hunt food (animals who do foraging are very smart too, such as pigs, as they need those skills to successfully get food out of spaces and into spaces). Someone I know has a cat, whenever I visit and play with the cat it always hides a bit behind something before pouncing at the toy which is very smart and why he is great at hunting the mice around!
they are so polite toward each other when it comes to eating the morsels... no scuffles, wow
We have a Norwegian Forest Cat and he is happiest when romping through the ice and snow chasing mice when it's 10°F outside.
Seeing them share is so heartwarming.
OMG big, beautiful kitties🤩 I just love giant cats. I want to give them both a big hug!! They remind me of my late, half Maine Coon Mirza. She too was a majestic giant with a pure, pure soul🥹
I love how neither of them are intelligent enough to COPY each other but they're both intelligent enough to find two completely different ways of getting the food XD
One cat is preoccupied with the platforms but ignores the opening. The other paws the opening but ignores the platforms. Nice!
The cat on the right sticking its whole head in. How cute.
I do the same with my sister.
Irresistible. Gorgeous. Sweet. Proof of Cats intelligence and playfulness.
You have two GORGEOUS cats. Bless you all with health, peace and joy.
Thank you :-)
Two very polite cats; no snarling and argy-bargy over the treats when they came. Most impressive!
It was interesting to see how both cats found a working stratefy: The cat on the left learned that by pulling out the strings, the platforms will come out and the food will fall. The cat on the left learned that they can fish out individual pieces of food from the top.
Cat on the right knew the other had it and just waited for him to do the bulk of the work.
I was fully expecting the cat on the right to end up with the tube stuck on his head.
What about the cat on the left?
@@indeedmyson 😂
The cat on the left seemed to be more curious about how the contraption worked than getting the food out. And the cat on the right was like "food!" But he didn't care about rules or logic. Just desperation for food.
Beautiful cats!
They are so calm and gentle 😭
Amazing how smart cats really are! I had a Norwegian Forest Cat. He was a rescue I Named him Ray-Dar. He had special needs. I miss him so much. He passed last June. I was blessed that he loved me for 11yrs.💜

❤❤❤
Left cat is the brain of the two
The thinker and the doer. I love how the one on the left takes his time to figure it out while the one on the right dives right in.
They are just beautiful puddies!! 😻
I was waiting for them to just knock over the container. Which is how my cats often solve problems....
But they do learn from each other. Once I taught two sisters how to use the cat door, I didn’t need to teach the next generation unless there was no experienced cat in the house when they arrived. One of the original sisters demonstrated it for her adopted kitten, and that kitten grew up to illustrate the technique to other cats. One cat who as at least 12 years old on arrival needed special tutoring, though.... The rest learned from watching an experienced cat. That’s true for a lot of things.
0:55 when she put her head inside :D su cute!
The typical kitteh way of solving any puzzle :)
I borked out loud when the one on the right stuck his face in the top 🤣
Left cat did all the HEAVY lifting
Our beautiful boy was a rescue cat, who came to us with just a name and bed - he didn't like either. We believe he's a Norwegian. He loves puzzles, he actually sighed once when I put a bowl of food I front of him 😅 he's very affectionate, inquisitive and graceful
there's a lot of great cheap ones on amazon, I have several that I rotate between my cat (a 17mo domestic shorthair) and my dog (9mo husky-pit mix). They love them equally.
cardboard box, cheap and the bestest bed/cave ever. put in a fleece blanket or thing.
They are stunning but the cat on the left is smart. I like that they share the treats without fighting. Very civilised.
They're Norwegians, they have to be)
Smart and a destroyer of nice things, my guess he knocks a lot of stuff off shelves.
They will do this to either get you to go make food, wake you up to go get breakfast, or just because something is in the way and they want to lie down on a surface.
Beautiful, intelligent animals that obviously get along so very well with each other! What I loved was how they took turns getting the fallen treats, instead of hissing and swatting at each other. Litter mates or not, that's pretty impressive!
A puzzle for humans… I would have never guessed 😂 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The one on the left is, definitely, more resourceful with puzzles. We all have our field of 'expertise' and so do animals. Gorgeous kitties, btw.
Hes also a destroyer of fragile things, note the slide to the edge of the table.
He really seemed more interested in solving the puzzle than in scoring those treats.
the right guy is smarter. He let's his mate solve the puzzle, and then he eats the food.
@ LOL . . my thoughts exactly.
a perfect "muscle and brains" duo. First cat uses short-term brute force, while the other sits and analyzes long term success. Together they're unstoppable
I'm amazed that he pulled the toy towards him so he could get a better grip with his teeth on the rope. Absolutely astonishing how quickly he figured it out!
Whether they learned it or not would be determined if it was put before them the next day and they went straight to the solution, or just fooled around with it again, maybe knocking it over this time.
@@sandal_thong8631 They did notice a difference in the solid v transparent forms. That would be a good test and that they have memory of what they did.
I think they were being kind of insouciant and casual like oh this.
Left cat was actually the right cat from their perspective
