NEWS FLASH: Brilliant Cat Can't Be Fooled by Shell Game

 

I had NO idea. I've always been on Team Dog ... but this cat is BRILLIANT.  You know that old timey shell game - you have 3 shell-like containers and one holds a small object.  The game begins with shuffling the shells around and around.  And, the player - here, Kido the kitty cat - must guess and pick the right shell.  Kido can't be fooled!  Amazing!

Check out these other cats with incredible talents! From filmmaking to potty training, who knew cats were so ingenious?! (This dog person DID NOT.)

This is adorable but i was able to find the ball without concentrating on the cups... Sound made it so obvious.

Wow, this seems great.

Seems that it guesses between two shells & it decides which two shells is having the object -pretty smart.

@rafeal: I guess it can't handle multiple sounds -both shell's movement & the ball inside the shell.

It uses the guessing procedure for picking up the right one.

check at 0.15 minutes & 0.53 -It's guessing between 2 shells.

when she tried with 4 shells, the cat showed interest upon the game.

pretty smart CAT :)
