A video showing a cat communicating with a deaf man through signs has gone viral on the internet.
Within the viral video that appeared on Reddit, the cat appears to faucet a person with its paw sooner than signalling as if it needs to be fed.
As one Redditor interpreted, “…it’s ‘hey you’ (the tap on the wrist is to get the guys attention.)”
“I want/need (dogs and cats sometimes raise a paw or two upward when sitting or on hind legs once or several times based on urgency,” the user acquainted with ASL continued.
“This sign looks different in ASL but our arms move differently than a cat or dog. You just have to know what this behavior means.). ‘Eat’ (paw to mouth)”
