If a cat had a motto, it could be, “Why do it the hard way?” Known for its low independence and resistance to unnecessary effort, cats have the trick to cutting corners in the cleverest way. So it’s not particularly surprising A familiar cat In favor of a much simpler solution, it became a virus to completely bypass the treatment puzzle. His unexpected behavior laughed and slightly overtaked his owner (and millions of people online).
Cats find smart ways to access snacks with viral videos
In the clip, a pet owner attempts to test the intelligence of a cat using a yellow duck-shaped food dispenser. The toy is designed to release several treats when a duck foot-shaped lever is pressed. Some kibbles are already scattered across the floor, with overlay text in the video saying “Testing my cat’s intelligence.”
The setup looks simple enough, and viewers will be hoping to see cat paws get more food with duck paws. But that doesn’t happen. Instead, the cat will skip the intended puzzle completely and find a faster, more direct route by removing the plastic dome covering the treat. In that way, he gains full access to the stash and avoids “testing” completely.
Posted three days ago, the clip has already received 29 million views and over 2 million likes. It also sparked a wave of comments from amusing viewers who saw cat shortcuts as nothing more than a genius. “My mates are really fast, from level 1 to 100,” one joked. Another said, “He’s clearly very intelligent, and he was actually like, ‘Why is she pushing this?’ Someone else compares cat’s unconventional logic to a genius moment, writing, “His IQ test: There is no limit!”
Some say cats “cheated” the system, but others see it as a perfect example of thinking it outside the box, or in this case outside the duck. It is debate whether a movement counts as a pass or fails, but one thing is certain. This cat has proven that no one expects the cleverest solution.
