While cats are renowned for selective socialism with other pets in the family, comical footage of one such cat fishing with a rod and playing with the other has triggered laughter on the internet. Nearly 8 seconds long clip was shared on Twitter by the page Welcome to Nature and was captioned as when the pet cats have a cat to play with. Viewed over 42.5k times, the internet found the two cats amusing and “brilliant", while calling the first kitty as “clever” as it lies on the floor comfortably and funs around with its similar-looking companion.  

The brown feline siblings seem to have discovered their favourite past time activity amid the quarantine within the confinement of their home premises—that’s fishing. Holding a fishing rod in paws, the first cat can be seen lying on the carpet and swinging its furry tail as it reels down the bait from the fishing rod which seemingly has a fat fish or a cockroach hooked to it.

The other cat desperately jumps in an attempt to grab the critter wobbling back and forth as it constantly fails to retrieve the delicious food. It can be seen that the other cat cleverly pulls up the reel the moment its sibling is “almost there”. The internet users poured in a slew of laughter emojis and heart at the two kitties as they relax and play together a fun game to watch.
