This is the first time that I have ever heard of a cat using tools this way...

Documented Tool Use by a Cat

It seems that some cats are smarter than the expected..

Anyone who owns a cat knows they treat us like a tool. Intriguing how clever this cat is though. Perhaps tool use isn't a primate evolution suggesting missing link, but as this article suggests part of having a central nervous system. Mr rat after all drags things to the wall of his cage in order to use them as a stepping stool to see over the top.

Being an animal behavior major, this is relevant to my interests.

Interesting, many animals use tools, some of them use it by instinct but the

are not something that every cat/rat do, it's something that they learned.

I always knew about rats and birds but cats is new to me.

Is there such complex behavior with dogs?
How about cephalopods? I think that they just don't use tools because they don't need any (many tentacles with sensitive suction cups, color shifting skin, hard beak...)

The cat is actually below average feline intelligence, as it did not get a human to do it's manual labor for it.

Research in 2007 shows that chimpanzees in the Fongoli savannah sharpen sticks to use as spears when hunting, considered the first evidence of systematic use of weapons in a species other than humans.

It's better we become cyborgs or we will be doomed!

Some cats can paint. They use their paws, but they use colors. And they will draw things upside down.
Also crows can use tools.

from the article:

"One day, somewhere around 1996, I was in the upstairs bathroom; let's just say I was reading. I observed Sasha come in the bathroom and jump up onto the counter next to the sink. "

translation: I was deep into a mad fapping session when, damnit, the cat interrupted!

The "let's just say I was reading" is really weird, but I think that he was pooping or peeing...
If he were fapping the cat would not be a problem, A CAT IS FINE TOO.

New Caledonian crows make tools, through deductive logic, and then teach other crows to do the same.

Does any animal use a tool to make another tool?

Reason? Justification?

Looking at the rules:
Do not post the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry"), grotesque ("guro"), or loli/shota pornography.
I don't know why they deleted my pic, it was not a macro image reply, it was not even a reply!

That's always been a rule. Newfags don't read the global rules, and they come in here posting shitty macros everyone's seen a gazillion times. Thank goodness for mods and janitors, or this place would be another lolcats shitfest.

It was probably just a stupid picture, then. Post it again if you're so worried.

Is that the exact pic you posted in the OP? I can't tell if that's what you're trying to say. Your post is a little unclear.

So by "macro image reply" you mean "a picture with text on it"? If so, why not say it more clearly in the rules? I have been on 4chan for over a year and have never known what "macro image reply" meant -- never had to know because it never came up before. I don't remember images with text getting deleted before.
Just sayin.

It's common knowleged that macro = image with text on it. Are you new to the internet or something?

lol, I've been on the Internet since 1988.
As a CSfag, "macro" to me means "something that expands to something else".
"Macro" to mean "text on image" is weird. Where did it come from?

I'm not sure where the term originated, but "macro" in its current usage has been around for awhile, especially on 4chan and other imageboards.

Image macros get deleted on /an/ all the time, provided the janitors are doing their jobs.
