Clever Cats Pretend To Fight After Realizing Mom Gives Treats During Arguments
Cats are a lot smarter than people sometimes realize, and these two felines are a perfect example of just how sneaky they can be. In this hilarious video, the cats appear to stage a fake little fight after figuring out that their mom hands out treats whenever she breaks up the real ones.
The only problem? Neither cat is putting much effort into making the "fight" believable. There's no hissing, growling, or dramatic warning noises. It actually looks more like the pair is attempting an awkward dance routine than an actual argument. The second viewers realized the cats might be faking the drama for snacks, the internet completely cracked up.

The cats' mom shared in the caption what they were probably thinking: "Cats: No treats yet?!"
They really need to put a little more effort into it to make it believable!
