If you are a happy cat owner, you have probably seen how your pet uses any door in the house, sticking its paw under it and thus inviting you to join the game.

Why does a cat want to play blind when it can play openly?

It turns out that open play does not allow animals to use all their abilities.

But a blind game allows the cat to test and demonstrate its skills.

This game also allows our furry friends to use their logic and intuition to figure out where the object is.
