Whoever set this up was surely a badass!

Don't open this if you have something important to do...

What the heck?
FAKE!  Absolutely not possible!  At least not with my two cats.  No way could I get them to sit so still around a pile of carefully placed dominos without either a) knocking them down or b) leaving.

How in the world did they accomplish that?

Watch the other videos that pop up. Clearly they are diabolical long term-planners. So much to admire there, including re-use of materials. Seems like incredibly frugal fun. Unless those colorful dominoes are crazy expensive...

One of my cats won't knock over anything on the ground. I can set up a complex maze of objects and he'll saunter right through it without so much as bumping a single object. Objects on raised surfaces are obviously a different matter, and should be immediately knocked off.

On the flip side, my other cat is a walking wrecking ball of awkward uncoordinated movement who tramples everything. Thank god he thinks he can't jump because he's so insanely muscular, he would probably destroy the house.

It's quite entertaining.

Funny.  And our 2 cats look just like those 2.
