Pet parents often find creative ways to keep their fur babies busy or invent new games for them. This Instagram video shows how an owner creates a fun game for their cat using hand shadows. In the clip, the pet Trout has climbed onto a door and is fighting shadow demons. The feline has no clue that those monsters are the creations of his human using their hand gestures. Furthermore, the uploader expresses Trout’s thoughts through the caption. It reads, “These things don’t know who they’re messing with!!”
The cat is curious about the shadow the owner’s hand is casting
In an adorable and funny video on Instagram, a cat named Trout gets curious about hand shadows. In the clip, an on-screen text reads, “Watch me take down all the shadow demons.” Then, the pet is seen sitting on the top of a door. Meanwhile, the owner is recording the scenario from below.
It looks like the pet parent is using hand gestures in a dimly lit room to cast shadows. The first one is just an outline of a forefinger reaching for the cat. Hence, Trout becomes curious and tries to reach out to the shadow with her paw. The activity continues as the human creates different forms, while the feline presumably throws punches at those shadows.
After seeing his battle with the night demons, viewers admit they enjoyed the viral cat shadow video. A user wrote, “This is why I pay for internet,” while another quipped, “You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it; molded by it.” One individual also said, “Bro defeated master hand from super smash.”
Meanwhile, a few were curious to learn “how do cats get on top of doors like that.” Furthermore, a viewer mentioned, “When they say black cats are protectors, I finally understand. My little void keeping me safe at night.” Since the upload, the cat shadow video has garnered over 256K likes.
