Cat thinks he met a tiger. Watch this and other amazing moments

This little kitty sure gets up to a lot of antics in her day! We love this compilation, where you can watch her think a stuffed tiger is real, chase a laser pointer up the wall, and stalk a squirrel in her backyard. So cute!
For cats, a stuffed animal (particularly a cat) can be very engaging. According to the Humane Society of Miami, it can be a comfort toy that a cat can "kill", like the little one in this video. She looks so ferocious! Other cats also like to just play with it, and some even grow attached and like to carry it around. If they like to carry the toy around, it should be smaller than them, and if they want to "kill" it, it should be about the same size.

You can also see this little hyperactive kitty go after the laser pointer, chasing it up the wall! It's no secret, cats love laser pointers. But why?
Psychology Today gives us some insight, revealing that cats see it as "alive". Why is that? Well, it's because it moves quickly and changes direction a lot. The more it does that, the more the cat perceives it as alive and wants to chase it. Don't get to feeling too superior, though - humans react much in the same way. Ever see a leaf fluttering by and mistake it for a butterfly? Psychology Today says that's the same instinct, both of our instincts rely on recognizing movement and motion. Doesn't mean it can't be fun to watch a cat fruitlessly chase that little dot around though!
