In this video, the cat uses a clever trick to dodge the child’s constant attention.

Cat, with his beautifully maintained fur coat and tendency for immobility, would make the most convincing stuffed cat conceivable. He’d lie still for hours, pretending to be a toy, while the child played with her toys all around him. His eyes, though half-closed, remained vigilant, ensuring his cover was maintained. It was a measure of his dedication to serenity that he took innumerable pokes, prods, and embraces without even flinching. Cat had perfected the art of the purrfect disguise in order to preserve his prized moments of solitude.
