It looks like they want them to follow xD
I'd guess cats love gaps that close
You have been well trained by your cat.
Is something wrong at the well, girl?
With some camera trickery (perhaps mounting it in a way so that it gets tilted/dollied by moving the door, plus fake camera shake to make it look less artificial), one could create a perfect loop. These do well on platforms where watch time/duration ratio is logged and videos loop unless stopped, namely TikTok.
When I'm in bed, my cat will walk up to the side of the bed and meow. I reach down to stroke her and she walks away. Then she comes back and meows again. So I reach down to try to pick her up. Walks away again. Okay, so she wants me to follow her, right? Maybe she's hungry, wants to go outside? So I get up. But then she doesn't go anywhere except the foot of the bed. Then she let's me pick her up and put her on the bed. But then she quickly walks to the end of the bed and acts like she's going to jump down. Then I have to make a big production of making a spot for her, patting the bed and speaking soothingly. Then she lies down. This little game happens every night. She has me trained.
Oh it’s my dog in cat form. 😑
The look back "and don't you fucking close it again muriel"
She's keeping her options open
Schrodinger’s other cat
Human is standing in front of the door blocking the way. Cats see this as aggressive behavior and will not attempt to move past you so as to avoid a confrontation.
The cat wants inside just step aside as you open the door and it'll come inside.
