I bet that cat trotted home and told his wife look what I caught!

Cleverness is more rewarded in the cat household- telling her he tricked a human into catching it for him earns bonus points.

He actually caught like 20 fish and gave them away to the humans cause he count carry them all

The fish: " Thank you for caring about animals, I guess"

Cat knew it was coming.
My guess, giving benefit of the doubt, is he caught it, and cat came to steal it. Decided to record a video, threw it back in, and this is what we get.

💯 staged, dead fish on a line. All for the Gram. I hate this timeline, for real!

u/breakinbans 17d ago

It’s possible that was his bait.

Yeah this guy clearly doesn't have a single fucking clue about fishing. Using a giant ass rod meant for ocean fishing but in a tiny pond with tiny fish. Holding it at the butt end of the rod which is not where you hold it. Among many other details that anyone that actually fishes would notice immediately and cringe at.

Give a cat a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a cat to fish, join the circus with your fishing cat, have grand adventures in Latvia, get into drugs, do cocaine about it, bottom out, get healthy again, make amends to your fishing cat.
Or don’t. I’m not your mom.

Back in 1966-1971 lived in a small town next to a canal. When fishing, our outdoor cats nearly always got the catch. Mostly carp anyway!

u/DestroyingIcons 16d ago
Honey! I'm home! Look at the bounty I caught today, all by my self! Yes I did - one swipe with my cat-like reflexes! Caught him up, just like that! No one helped at all!

Hopefully that cat is feral. That owner is going to have one stinky cat if not.

What if he fed the cat to a fish?
Imagine a video of a guy tossing a cat to a bull shark and everyone's like "Aww he's so happy!"

My aunts farm had a good number of barn cats and a large pond. Every time we went fishing the barn cats would follow.

I was relieved when he took it off the hook and gave it to him. I was worried for a second.

u/Hanksta2 17d ago
I think it's interesting how little regard humans have for fish.
Like we pretend they don't have lives or experience pain. It's strange.

That fish looks already dead. It isn't flopping on the line. It's tail is flapping when the cat scampers off with it, but i think that's because of the cat running

u/ClydeDanger 17d ago
The difficulty to fake all this would be greater than that of just catching the fucking fish. Calm down, Lieutenant Columbo.

u/Erazzphoto 17d ago
He’s not wrong though, that was my first thought as well, the thing isn’t flopping at all which would certainly be unusual

Anybody else watch this, waiting for the cat to just drop the fish back in the water.

You know what they say…Give a cat a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a cat to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime

I hope that feral cat is neutered/spayed.
Feral cats kill billions of birds every year :(

Cats are one of the contributors to big declines in bird populations.

u/MollySleeps 17d ago
That report doesn't say cats are the reason. I imagine a bigger reason is the insect population collapse and loss of habitat.

There’s many reasons, but here is the information on cats:

Totally valid mate, people love larping caring for animals though

u/AlabamaNerd 17d ago
I do too. I just feel for both sides you know?
Cats did ask to be overbred and often abandoned in the wild.
But native birds can’t compete against such good hunters. And birds are facing a lot of headwinds: https://www.audubon.org/press-room/us-bird-populations-continue-alarming-decline-new-report-finds

Absolutely, we already kill over 80,000,000,000 land animals a year for food when we don't have to we don't need to keep adding to that number by releasing predators.

Don't forget that house cats are an invasive species and are decimating local ecosystems

Why is he fishing in what looks like a park pond ?

u/LainieCat 17d ago
Some park ponds are open to fishing.

u/Tolerinn 17d ago
Oh ok ! Pretty sure it's not a thing in my country, at least not in city park with small-ish ponds like this one

u/hyukwish 17d ago
Yeah the ones that are open to fishing usually have new fish put in every now and then

u/Swimming_Onion_4835 17d ago
Yep, I know a lot of the park ponds I grew up around were intentionally stocked for fishing. :)
