Cat Becomes Hysterical When Confronted With A Plushie That Looks A Little Too Much Like Herself
The way animals think is fascinating and sometimes unbelievable. Animals have a keen sense of their surroundings and are typically caregivers, especially female animals.
This pet owner just wanted a cute picture when something unexpected happened. We've all tried to be great pet owners, doing something adorable for our animals or perhaps capturing a picture of them being cute.
I don't think any of us were prepared for what happened next when she brought home a plushie that looked almost identical to her cat. The cat's instincts kicked in, and she was completely freaked out.
We can imagine that cats and other animals don't really have a clear sense of what is real and what isn't. What we recognize as a fake stuffed animal might appear to be a real creature to them.
Animals tend to interact with stuffed toys as if they are alive. Understanding this, the scenario doesn't seem as bizarre as it once did.
This cat owner thought it would be delightful to bring home a plushie that resembled her cat just to capture a cute picture of the cat with the plushie, but her cat had other ideas.
Let's delve into this story to see what exactly happened when the cat encountered this plushie.
Alright, so here's the story...

Some extra edits and a summary of the situation for context.

Imagine if the cat were on Reddit and what their side of the story would be.

You are not the asshole.

Thoughts from the cat, possibly?

Cat tax was paid, and the picture was uploaded for all to see.

People are really eager to see the picture.

I mean, I know I'd be a little freaked out.

Definitely an existential crisis.

People are coming forward, saying that their animals have a similar reaction to plushies and other objects. Interesting.

Another situation where the story is similar to OP's.

Animals can be so strange sometimes.

People are sharing how their animals react to situations like this to see if it is indeed normal.

The opposite scenario.

I feel sorry for the poor cat too.

Definitely a bit odd since cats have amazing senses.

Possibly the thoughts that went through this cat's mind.

"You've gone from a monster to a god." Fair enough plan.

Do cats see evil? Could it be possible?

Oh no, a voodoo doll cat plushie?

Other pet owners whose animals react the same way.

Another person mentions that cats are very in tune with their senses, so it is strange how the cat reacted.


Animals can be a bit peculiar, but even if the cat thought that was a little dead cat, who can blame her? Honestly, I think it might be a little strange.
People make a valid point in saying that cats have good senses, so I'm not sure why she couldn't determine that it was a plushie, not a real cat.
