🐾 Daily Cat Lesson: Cats vs. Shadows: Who Will Win?

A shadow moves across the curtain.
You see - a shadow.
Your cat sees PREY.
Cats are extremely sensitive to movement. Their hunting instinct can be triggered by tiny, quick changes - a shadow, reflection, flickering light or something moving behind a curtain.

🐾 Does the cat know there's nothing there?

Not necessarily at first. Cats investigate with several senses. Something that moves like prey gets attention, but once there's no smell, sound or satisfying object to catch, many cats eventually lose interest.

🐾 Is chasing shadows good play/exercise?

Sure! It's mental and physical stimulation. But unlike a toy, a shadow can never actually be caught. If your cat gets intensely frustrated, finish the game with a real toy he can stalk, pounce on and finally capture.

Meanwhile, Pelmen has discovered something moving suspiciously on the curtain.
