My tabby cat’s IQ exploded.
I went to consult. Yesterday morning, my son’s IQ exploded.
We have a set of conventional communication methods with him: we ask him general questions, meow = yes, no answer or tail patting the floor = no, generally speaking, he can answer life questions such as wanting to eat/drink water/playing with cat toy/playing with his father. This is the background.
Yesterday morning, I got up and played with the cat toy for a while. Seeing that he was in a good mood, I asked him in a similar way to teasing children, did you have fun playing with the cat toy? He answered: meow!
I asked again: Do you like your father or your mother?
Dou’s father said, you can’t ask like this, you have to ask yes or no.
I asked: Do you think you like your mother more? He answered: meow.
I asked: Do you think you like your father more? He patted the floor.
Shocked! I asked again, do I think your mother is smarter than your father? He answered meow.
Ask, do you think you are smarter than your father? He didn’t answer. Ask
, do you think your father is smarter than you? He thought about it and hummed. (Generally speaking, “hmm” is also “yes”, but the degree is weaker than “meow”).
I asked, “Doudou, are you modest?” Doudou answered immediately: “Meow!
” His father and I laughed together.
I asked again, “Doudou, do you think you are smart among other cats?” Doudou said “hmm?” Doudou’s father said he had never seen other cats. Doudou said “hmm”. I thought about it and said, “Do you think you are smarter than that little black cat who had a fight with you last year?” Doudou said “meow”.
I asked his father to hold up his mobile phone so that I could test his Little Webster’s and skip the verbal test directly to the digital logic test. I pretended to read the introduction in the previous sentence, and Doudou flicked his tail and left…
(He doesn’t talk much in front of the camera. We recorded a singing voice. The song was not sung by me, but a funny video on the Internet called “Happy Hometown”. He sang a long part at the beginning. We recorded it secretly. He ran away when he found out the phone was filming him.)
Dou has another function. If a courier or a delivery man comes to our house and is one or two floors away from us, Dou will make a low growl like a dog protecting his territory (not fierce, just cowardly). It happens every time, even when we stay in a hotel. But he won’t growl at other residents, or at couriers or delivery men who go to other people’s houses, or at guests who come to our house or from the neighborhood committee. I don’t know how he does it… I guess he recognizes other people’s footsteps. There are always only a few couriers here, and they have been working here for at least a year. He We should know each other; the next door is Ziru, the owner changes every few months, and I have never seen him yell at anyone…
Guess what this small towel is for? Hint: The hook
is half a meter off the ground for him to wipe his hands after going to the toilet!
He saw us washing our hands after going to the toilet, and he learned it. He used to scratch the towels used by others, or drag the clothes out of the dirty clothes basket, for several days in a row. We thought, he doesn’t scratch randomly at ordinary times, how could this happen? His father nailed a small towel for him, and sure enough, he never scratched the big towel again, and there were cat litter marks on the small towel…
This is him in the hotel, using a floor towel to wipe his hands
. And my son has a certain logical thinking ability, he can infer the connection between things based on human behavior…

The day before yesterday, I washed his small towel and my towel as well. He had nowhere to wipe his hands, so he turned around and took out the ziplock bag for cat feces and started digging.
His thinking is this: I used the cat litter scoop and ziplock bag to fiddle with his cat litter box, and his box became clean, which shows that ziplock bags can make things clean…

Update: This morning I asked him the same question about who is smarter, and he thinks his dad is the smartest in our family. It seems that I have to find time to beat his dad up to establish my authority…
