A clever cat has recently demonstrated its knack for spying on the neighborhood, using a sink window, its paw, and its wit to eavesdrop in true feline fashion. This particular cat has perfected the art of peeking out from behind a curtain, and its skills in observing the world around it are impressive.
It’s unclear how long the cat has been honing its eavesdropping abilities, but its impressive peeping Tom techniques have not gone unnoticed. If @valenguiddo hadn’t captured the moment on camera, it might have been hard to believe. The cat’s paw holding the curtain back is a sight to behold, making it clear that this feline is not just looking for gossip, but possibly creating it as well. Perhaps it’s trying to learn more about what’s being said about it!
The cat’s sneaky behavior has resonated with many online, as thousands of people commented on how relatable the “nosy-vibe” is. Some humorously commented, “Me in another life,” while others joked, “Me as a cat,” and one even added, “‘Girl, let’s go out, we’ll pretend we’re gardening.’”
While it’s impossible to measure a cat’s IQ in the same way as a human’s, PetMD explains some key traits that indicate a cat’s intelligence. Studies on animal cognition show that cats are capable of recognizing and differentiating between human voices, especially those they favor and those they don’t. They also tend to respond to human emotions based on gestures and cues, and can even grasp concepts of time and quantities. For instance, a cat can tell the difference between 5 minutes and an hour, even if it doesn’t measure time in the same units humans do.
Cats also have long-term memories that allow them to remember tasks for later, even if they were initially distracted. Additionally, their sense of object permanence allows them to understand that an object hidden from view still exists. With these cognitive abilities, cats know exactly how to get what they want, using past experiences as a guide. So, if your cat has figured out how to hold back a curtain to catch a little gossip, rest assured, it will do it again!
