More and more often, videos appear on the Internet where a cat is brought up to a wall.

It is believed that if a pet rests its paws against a wall when it sees an obstacle, this indicates its high intelligence.

But if the animal slightly bends its paws, then it has average intelligence.

In the latter case, if the pet does not react in any way, but only meekly allows itself to be brought to the wall, this means that it does not have any special features.

In fact, as experts note, such a test is a check for the presence of reflexes. Such an experiment is usually carried out in situations where it is necessary to identify problems with walking.

That is, if the cat does not reflexively return its paws to their original position, it means that it does not know where they are. And this indicates serious health problems.

At the same time, doctors note that one experiment is not enough to identify the problem. Therefore, if there is a suspicion that the cat has health problems, then you should contact a veterinarian.
