Look, it is true that lots of cats out there are not… the most intelligent creatures. Cats randomly run into walls and try to eat plastic. Cats get mad at closed doors and think that puzzles and egg cartons are comfy places to sit on. Cats fight ghosts that no one can see and try their hardest to stick their heads into places that they're not supposed to go into. Some cats are not very smart, and we love them not despite of that but because of that.
On the other hand, some cats are insanely smart. Those cats are the ones that you should be the most wary of. They know what they are doing. They know how to deceive us. They know what they're allowed to do and not allowed to do, and they will find the loophole in every rule and use it for their own benefit. And once again… we love them not in spite of that but because of that.
No, this picture is beyond adorable. The ears, the stance, the leaf. This is a hunter that is very proud of his catch who totally believes that it is worth many, many fishes. It's no wonder that this story went viral.
And look, we know that there is speculation about whether this story is real or not, but that doesn't matter. We choose to believe. We believe both because we have seen cats (and dogs) do things like this in the past, and because… really, we need some wholesome pawsitivity in our loves right meow.
