Owners Put Their Cats to the Test on TikTok, and the Results Are Adorable and Entertaining
TikTok has a way of turning everyday pet behavior into a full-on competition, and cats are especially good at stealing the show. One recent trend has owners holding their cats near a wall to see how they react, and the results are as funny as they are unpredictable.
The idea is simple: if a cat lifts its paws and avoids bumping into the wall, it gets labeled smart. If it just bonks right into it, the internet is quick to call that a fail. Naturally, the comments section has plenty to say about which cats passed and which ones absolutely did not.
Some of these felines nailed the test, while others seemed completely unbothered by the whole thing. The lineup gets better from there.
Pit the cats' wits against a wall!
What a smart cat would do.

What the dumb ones will do.

Some cats made the test look easy.
Leif impressively aces the test.
Unfortunately, Penelope did not understand the task.
Sir Pounce wasn't at his best.
A few of them clearly had other plans.
Louis did well, but Luna failed.
Loki the cat, unfortunately, isn't as cunning as his namesake. His siblings did well, though.
Every feline in this household failed the test. But let's exempt Draco because of his cuteness, shall we?
Only one smart cat from this household.
The results only got more entertaining from here.
It also reminds us of the cat’s reluctant “attack” on a goofy dog, where the rivalry goes hilariously sideways.
Angie passes the exam with flying colors.
Snow may not have passed the exam, but we love the jersey on him anyway.
Ruby doesn't care about the test.
Monty and Milo are smart.
With Bubu's short arms, maybe this test isn't fair for her.
Not every cat seemed interested in proving a point.
Pixie and Halo didn't bother.
Dumb yet cute.
They don't seem to know what's going on.
Poor Tigger.
Iris wants to prove that she isn't dumb.
Either way, the cats are winning the internet.
Wait, things get even spicier when a cat storms off to plot revenge after her owner fails to shower her with attention.
