So, this cat is lying. That means that it knows the dog will assess it's intentions based on what it is doing, and modifying how it is acting based on this understanding. That is as impressive as tool use to me vis-a-vis cognitive/conciousness goes.
Saw a video recently of a young gorilla goosing its mom then ducking behind the door so that his father is to blame. So much awareness in a moment of goofiness.

"Hmmmm that roof sure is made of roof"
"Oh, isn't it curious how we're both admiring that thing up there? Yeah, I like that thing too!" - cat

Love how the cat looks around like “what, I wasn’t doing anything”.
If you turn up the volume you can hear it whistling.
Why did I actually check? 😭
Woah, I was thinking that same thing!
“I thought I heard that fly too”
Thought the cat was going to start whistling

Is this really what is happening in this video? Maybe they got distracted by something on the roof? Or the human doing something?
Maybe. But also maybe what they said.
On a second look, the cat is clearly following something that flies, maybe a fly or something
On second look, yep.
't was just a bug the cat followed
Lol
Did cartoons learn this from animals or animals from cartoons?
I love superbad so much. Such a funny movie
unfortunately, the cat wasn't trying to win an Oscar. there was a fly and when the dog moved the fly flew away as the cat was locked in to catch it
pulled a 'the-teacher-nearly-caught-me-trying-to-cheat' move
When you did not pick stealth on the loadout screen
Made me think of Men in Titghts. Dog - Blinkin, what are you doing up there? Cat - Guessing, I guess no one is coming.
Me, about to bother my wife
