phone

Technology is amazing. It helps us in our everyday lives with so many things. But for our cats... it is a tiny bit confusing. Sitting and staring at the same strange light square every single day for hours instead of giving them attention? No wonder they love sitting on our laptops as much as they do. Well, that, and our laptops are warm and basically act as butt-heaters for them.

This week's animation of Earnie encapsulates the eternal struggle between cats and technology. And confused as he may be, this time, Earnie is winning.

Cats guide to ignoring a hooman call:

 If they call you directly: walk away. If they call you by phone: pick up the phone, and then walk away

This gem of a video recently popped up on the YouTube timeline and we figured it would be a good time to revisit this classic moment. 

This video was taken in 1994, so for those who don't know what a landline phone looks like -- this is it right here! When the cat's owner used to come home, the phone would be off the hook with no explanation. 

Turns out, her cat, Pumba, couldn't stand the sound of that continuous ring and will often disable the sound by answering the phone. 

All we can say is that is one smart cat. 

It is added at the bottom of the video's description that Pumba had sadly passed away in 2011, but thanks to YouTube, "he lives to entertain us."

Those head tilts are just too precious.
