The cat is grooming their "chest".
Yeah, it does look that way. I wonder if the cat sees humans doing crunches and thinks that they're trying to lick their chests. Also, is that a second cat or a small dog there at the end?
I mean, if the people doing them are also licking their chest hair they might.. 😂 (seriously - I have no idea, maybe? Who knows.. And yeah, it is another cat at the end, looks like they might have lost a bit of their tail)
Me at the gym: *doing my thing*
Person walking by: WTF dude, that's disgusting!
Me: It's called grooming, bro. Maybe try it before you judge.
I always think "What horrible condition or disease is this symptomatic of?".
That cat looks healthy enough to me. my guess is it thinks it will be rewarded with food but it could be anything with cats.
Agreed, I'm just used to being horrified by the actual explanation that is inevitably revealed after reading comments on cute animal videos.
Why would a cat be rewarded with food for cleaning its chest? This is just regular cat grooming. Cats do this daily.
He wouldn't. He'd be rewarded for doing it in the home gym while appearing to be doing crunches.
Because human beings are weird at times too.
I bet if you saw this from another angle, you'd see it licking itself
I've seen that cat before! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZorXi8j8e0
