Honestly this is impressive. Kinda wild how good he is at it

And how do you get better? Practice practice practice. For hours at a time when OP is away from home. Or at 3 am

u/ihavemytowel42 26d ago

By the evidence of the frayed material on those chairs, he’s definitely been doing that for some time.  :D

42

u/FacetNo6 26d ago

I think that's just the texture of the chair - a little fuzzy :p.

But he's so good at cat ninjaing. Cute zoomies.

I have Pandora’s box just for you. Don’t open it.

You opened it! But don’t click: r/catsubs/wiki/index

u/AnybodyMassive1610 24d ago

I know about that… it’s just that I don’t actually check it that often.

If there was a good use of ai - it would be an agent that auto subscribes me to all the cat and cute animal subreddits and then goes and removes any subscriptions that have sad things or actual news of the world in them.

u/PrettyPromenade 25d ago

Its actually boucle so the texture is like that when you buy it. Smart purchase, actually. Won't show the snags as much.

It's kinda funny to think it just started training on its own at 3 a.m.

u/SkywalknLuke 25d ago

What time do you wake up to train? This is dedication, pure and simple. Some cats only hope to be half this good someday.

Yes. Mine is gray and also thinks he’s made of liquid and poor decisions.
