I’ve always thought this was confirmed with the video of one snowboarding down a roof.

Amazing. It carries its "sled" back up to the top, stands on it, and pecks it get it started.

Whenever I see stuff like this, I can only think about this[0] (normal operation in US and AU at least), and how absurd it is that we treat animals like this, knowing how intelligent they are.

Yeah I guess "sledding" is more accurate than "snowboarding".

Imagine if these were dogs in the photo. People would lose their minds.

Something that is also super interesting is how cats or dogs react to e.g. cat-face filters when they see themselves and their human (with a transformed face) mirrored on a smartphone screen. You might want to search videos of that. I like the one where the cat turns around and gives their human ... a paw to the jaw :D

In a similar vein: a cat discovering it has ears in a mirror.

This is fantastic and reminds me of when I learned that crows look like this in eastern europe and other places, not all black like in the US :)
