Aby-a-Day – 26 Mars 2020: Reach out and touch someone (Thursday Things)

The other day, we were watching YouTube videos on the television, and I wanted to show Björn the video of Lorelai stalking the geese, which he hadn’t seen yet.

After that, YouTube autoplayed the next video, which was the one of Izaak sitting on top of Dashiell.

Dash was intensely interested in seeing him and his buddy on TV. And then the cutest thing happened.

He reached his paw out and touched Zak! It was so sweet, so tentative…but he definitely recognised his friend.

Then a different video autoplayed, one of Angel and Zak outside. And Dash patted Zak’s image again! I have never seen a cat do this before. I have seen them play with images on screen, but not recognise another cat that they know.

I made a little video of him…but he went behind the screen looking for the cats. I did finally capture him patting Zak.

  1. Wow, that is so cool!

    A couple of years ago, when my human and I were doing a talk on Adventure Cats, Binga was in the slideshow my human put together. When the photo came up on the wall, I saw it and visibly did a double take! The attendees thought that was pretty funny.
