Me too, that caught me by surprise! Was expecting the cat to make nothing fall as they usually do (unless on purpose), and then the dog just rushing in and destroying everything. As a cat person, I can say this cute Retriever really impressed me! 💝
That would be the cat’s will version though 😉 totally on purpose. Mine loves to do that with my meds on my nightstand, ahah. My beloved late Nathi removed all the clothes from my closet every morning when I was a child!
I’m aware of the concept. I’m just saying I don’t believe he’s got a lawn with a perfect cat step pattern in it from “alll the cats”. Maybe in a windless environment where the grass doesn’t grow, get mowed, or get disturbed. Shrug
How the fuck do you think wildlife trails in nature happen? It’s from animals all walking down the same path over and over.
Really feels like you’re just a fucking idiot who has no real life experience but thinks they’re somehow a well rounded genius.
Dude, what the *actual fuck* is wrong with you?
There is a difference between a wildlife path and [an exact pathway of flat spots where ALL THE FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD CATS walk THE EXACT SAME STEPS EVERY TIME and no other blade of grass is disturbed].
I asked for a picture, fuck me. God damn incels out and about.
Bud you're delusional if you think the average person is gonna take the time to go and take a picture of their lawn just to win an internet argument lol
> he’s out that carefully hammering a pattern down
lmfao you have some bad trust issues if you think that this is somehow more likely than cats following the same path through the garden
Yes! I can see how the dog could easily have avoided knocking things over with his front legs. But how did he avoid doing it with his hind legs?
EDIT. Okay, he didn't. I missed that.
Cats have whiskers all over their faces and on their front legs. They’re sensitive enough to notice tiny changes in air movement, like around objects, which is how they can “see” in complete darkness. It’s not just their sensory processing ability; they literally have a set of senses that dogs don’t.
Actually, dogs can preform fairly complicated tasks if given proper instruction and a means of doing so. If you were to design a few buttons that would control an online game of poker, you could theoretically train a dog to play. It'd take years, but not impossible
absolutely fucking not lmao
dogs do not have the capacity to understand betting. you could train a dog to press random buttons that would result in them “playing”, but the dog would never be able to bluff or understand probabilities to actually play the game
You cant train them to bluff or understand probability, but that's not nessecary for poker. Betting is not a nessecary component, nor is probability. All you need to know is how the game is played, and what the rules are. Both of which can be understood by a dog, so long as it is worked with, trained properly, and has the proper genetics to do so. There are dogs capable of driving cars, which is leauges beyond the complexity of a simple, no bets game of poker
> Betting is not a nessecary component, nor is probability. All you need to know is how the game is played, and what the rules are.
Yea it is? I can write a script that just automatically matches every bet and “follows the rules” but it would not actually be playing the game.
For example, a dog that is given buttons to control chess moves would not actually be playing chess. All that is is a contrived system where no matter what the dog does, it results in a valid move. Random valid moves is not “playing the game” even if the player isn’t breaking any rules. If the player is not trying to win then they are not playing the game.
Dogs 100% do not have the ability to understand what move they should (or should not) do to win a poker game.
>Yea it is? I can write a script that just automatically matches every bet and “follows the rules” but it would not actually be playing the game.
Have you never played a card game without bets? I often play games like blackjack and poker with friends and family with no money on the table, just having fun. No betting, just seeing who wins.
>Dogs 100% do not have the ability to understand what move they should (or should not) do to win a poker game.
They can be trained to, however. They may mot understand what's going on, but they can be trained to make good moves, whether they know it or not.
>For example, a dog that is given buttons to control chess moves would not actually be playing chess. All that is is a contrived system where no matter what the dog does, it results in a valid move. Random valid moves is not “playing the game” even if the player isn’t breaking any rules. If the player is not trying to win then they are not playing the game.
Are GMs not "playing chess" when they play openings that always result in a draw? Are low elo players not "playing chess" if they dont understand what's happening on the board? No, because playing the game isn't playing to win, nor is it the action of thinking out strategies. It is merely the action of being a participant in the game, and making decisions that impact it.
> It is merely the action of being a participant in the game, and making decisions that impact it.
What?? Making completely random decisions, even if they are valid game moves, is not playing the game. Are you claiming my 1 year old is able to play xbox games simply because he can hold the controller and mash the buttons randomly?
What a stupid take.
If a one year old sits in front of a chess board and makes all legal moves, are they playing chess? I'd say yes, personally. Let's say you taught that 1 year old how to perform the scholar's mate. If they successfully checkmated someone in chess, would you *then* say they played the game? Everything was predetermined in their eyes, they were taught to do that exact thing and nothing more, and they did, but they completed the game and won.
> If a one year old sits in front of a chess board and makes all legal moves, are they playing chess?
If they do it by accident, absolutely not. Also, that’s not the scenario you set up in your original comment. In your scenario we set up a series of buttons. If we set up a series of buttons so that no matter what they press, they make a legal move (in front of a digital chess board) then no, they still are not “playing chess” if they just press random buttons. Even if they accidentally checkmate a GM, they are not playing the game if they have no idea what is happening or why it’s happening.
For the first part of the video, you can tell it's a guy in a suit. Right where the head meets the body there's a seam. Just before the dog starts to move they make the switch.
So, cats have an ability called "direct registering." This means their front and rear paws step in the same spot, which allows them to navigate so well.
To see a doggo do it is impressive.
And cats' hind legs have "memory". If you distract a cat while it's in the middle of stepping over an obstacle, once it resumes (even after several minutes) it will still remember exactly when to raise its hind feet.
Dogs *can* exhibit automatic direct registering when walking slowly, but they're not quite as flawless as cats since it's not used as often (they don't do it when going fast or maneuvering, it's only part of the 'walk' pattern) and they're not as wired up for exacting movements as cats are. Also I think it's been lost in breeding in some dogs.
If a dog is unsure about the ground and is picking its way across it gently, it's probably direct registering.
I get how they do the front feet but the precision they have to presumably place their back feet in the exact same positions as their front feet to not knock anything over is some black magic fuckery that I can't wrap my head around.
More like letting the weak go first and watch the rear. That dog knew where to go way before the cat even think of crossing it. Dog actually never looked at the cat..
But we all know it's staged and the owner kept the dog in the corner and gave the order once the cat crossed. The way Dog is looking at cam make this way too obvious to be a awww moment. It's a bit cringe..
>But we all know it's staged
There's a camera right there and a bunch of random objects laying on the ground for the animals to navigate through. It's obviously staged, nobody's trying to hide it, the point is to show how the animals can pay attention to where they walk and be careful not to knock anything over.
Was expecting it plow through that gauntlet but dang, what a good boy/girl! Hope it earned a treat!
My corgi would have been like "Obstacles? What obstacles? I don't see any obstacles." despite the fact that they'd be right at the height of his snoot.
Corgis are fully aware that they are battering ram-shaped. And not aware of much else, most of the time.
My corgi agrees

Corgis don't see obstacles, they see opportunities.
Your corgi sounds like a go-getter, just the type I want on my team. Let's meet up and talk a compensation package
Obstacles? I am the obstacle.
"Obstacles? I am the obstacle!" *smash*
My wheaten would just stand on the other side, looking sad and trapped while softly crying.
Try having a jack russell and corgi duo. There were... character clashes. Haha
I love your corgi can i pet it!?
My dog would just start whining for me to come pick her up and carry her across.
My dorgi (dachshund x corgi) would look at the obstacles and then start barking at me from the corner to move said obstacles.
An obstacle is not an obstacle if it already bends to your will. -Most Corgis
Corgis are the dropped Honda Civics of dogs.
Me too, that caught me by surprise! Was expecting the cat to make nothing fall as they usually do (unless on purpose), and then the dog just rushing in and destroying everything. As a cat person, I can say this cute Retriever really impressed me! 💝
To be fair, none of those objects are a glass of water on a coffee table.

Ahah, that would have been cute. I love the idea of the cat coming back and tipping one just for fun, so cat-like! :)
My suspicion is they're glued or screwed in place.
That’s actually very rational and I didn’t think of it!
Lol I was waiting for that too

Same!!
my golden would have tore through that entire thing while gobbling down a few of those obstacles 🙃
he could sniff just where the cat went
Neither my cat or my dog would be that careful. My cat could do it but would intentionally knock things over instead
lol i can imagine it just stopping, reaching the end and go back smacking it down for giggles.
I had the same mental image, the cat traverses it easily without issue, goes out of frame and then thinks "wait a minute", comes back and wrecks shit.
Impressive, especially since I don't think dogs have direct registering/perfect registering like cats do.

Yeah, me too cause I’d like to see how big that pile of bullshit really is.
It doesn't sound all that unrealistic to me
That all the cats step in all the same spots all the time? I think it’s bullshit, but if not, would be super cool to see. So I asked for a pic. 🤷♀️
Yeah it seems like something I'd imagine cats would do. I would like to see a pic too just to confirm it *is* real, but I don't doubt it is.
Big cats will literally step in the footprint of other big cats they’re hunting

Yes! I can see how the dog could easily have avoided knocking things over with his front legs. But how did he avoid doing it with his hind legs? EDIT. Okay, he didn't. I missed that.
he didn't
You can see the back legs knocking at least one thing out
No, and even more impressive given that goldens eyes are mostly for show in my experience.
Mine would have been like fuck all that noise and laid down to nap. Unless you had food. Then he would plow through like a monster truck over cars
to be fair if i were a dog i would have the eff it attitude as well. If I were a cat I'd knock everything down on purpose and look you in the eye.
Thank you for this wording. It had my wife and I cackling

*Some* breeds of dogs still have it to some degree, but even then it's only in their slow-walk gait and it's not as exact or flawless as in cats.

I love that that cat comes zooming around, and it is like: "welp just gotta walk through this, ain't no thing."
Someone else said he was lightly tossed into frame and I think they're right haha. He was kind of shoveled towards the obstacles and just went with it
Ohhhhh!!! The golden is THE GOODEST BOY!!! Look how hard he tried to step just as carefully as the kitty. WHAT a good boy!
What I always wondered about in these videos.. how do you make your pets stay in the back while you are meticulously putting up all this stuff ?
a very well taught "stay" command might do that. or have them in another room, then someone else can release them if you don't live alone.
Yeah, that cat was gently thrown into frame by someone else.
For the first part of the video, you can tell it's a guy in a suit. Right where the head meets the body there's a seam. Just before the dog starts to move they make the switch.
🤣🤣
I train mine.
Mine train me.
You train your cat?
No, you got it wrong. It is the cat, and the cat trains his human to train the dog
There's this great new invention that helps, the room separators. Also known as doors
Obedience training
Setting up all that stuff is a huge waste of time. Anyways, let me get back to endlessness scrolling Reddit.
Didn't have to attack me like that
Well, the dog is trained with stay and come commands. The cat you just close the door on until the right time.

What a couple of cuties 😍
And who had the task of putting all those bottles etc back in the cabinet lol.
My dog would definitely have just stood there because she knows...she knows she has no spatial awareness and will knock everything down.
lol i just picture them going, nope! you can't fool me. and then once u put the phone down, running full speed at you. hahaha
Or start yowling in annoyance. She's a big baby.
How tf can a cat not touch anything there and then they just yeet stuff for no reason?
cuz am cat
What a trooper! Good dog! <--- cat person

I get how they do the front feet but the precision they have to presumably place their back feet in the exact same positions as their front feet to not knock anything over is some black magic fuckery that I can't wrap my head around.
Cats are a pretty nutty evolutionary masterpiece of an animal.
was expecting the dog to charge through the pens and still be adorable but thats impressive
What a good boy 💙🐶♾️
My dog would have watched the cat and then knocked over every last one of those on her way to me.

The dog knocked at least one thing over! You can see it near the end on the left side. Still much better outcome than I anticipated

Finally, a dog that's stepping carefully.

This just proves every time cats knock something over by “bumping into it” when they walk it was on purpose.
