Most cats are domesticated today eliminating the need for the older cats to teach the younger ones skills of survival, instead the focus has shifted instead to understanding humans and how to manipulate them into doing what the cat wants.
The older cat in the video tries to explain to the kitten the strange behaviors and rituals that take place each year on Super Bowl Sunday. On “normal days”, the television is a box that lights up and contains “little people”, a doorbell is the humans’ way of yelling their arrival, and everything that the cat sleep on is gathered up for the yearly “ritual”.
The older cat walks the kitten through the events that occur on this big day; the arrival of the numerous strangers; the positions that the humans use to occupy the cat’s sleeping places; consumption of “moist food”; the speculation as to the “robes” some humans wear and their significance.
There is the unique perspective from a cat’s point of view of human behavior during exciting moments of the football game when things become loud, the analogy of the vacuum when humans lift a “metal cylinder” to their faces.
The older cat explains the cruelty of humans toward each other as being part of a cruel world. The video culminates in methods in which the cat can take revenge by targeting allergy sufferers, blocking the picture on the television and walking across the table. The outcome is the cat being rewarded for bad behavior, which has been the cat’s plan all along.
