The best staring award goes to…
This is a hilarious story of the owner and cat not really knowing how to react. At first, the cat was staring at a spider on the wall, which immediately caught the attention of its hooman. After showering the cat in praises and treats, it repeated this the following week.
However, the cat didn’t know that the reward it got was for catching a spider, not just staring intently at a wall. This made no difference to the feline, and it would expect treats in the future for staring long and hard at nothing. Apparently, there is such a thing as a free lunch.
