I have two cats. One is smart, the other is dumb as a doornail. The dumb one is ironically super fast with her paws, and tries to bat the yoyo when I’m throwing. It’s quite amusing.
We used to have a cat, and she kinda treated yoyos like a toy. The spinning was probably pretty entertaining. That is, until I accidentally hit her. Then she was afraid of it. Whoops.
I have two cats and their reactions are the complete opposite. One cat runs away from the yoyo soon as I throw it. The other one comes running into the room and leaps at it. She’s taken me down a couple of times. This is the same cat that brought home a live bat and released it in the house (cat door). She has no fear.
