      I actually got a completely different read from this. I think the cat stopped panicking because they didn’t realize there were stairs until their paw hit one. We can see the stairs just fine but the cat is at a shallow angle and their eyes work differently than ours.

      Edit: I also just noticed a cut in the middle of the video where they seem to be more exhausted and moving slower. That cat might have been there for a bit.

    I’ve always said you should throw your pets in the pool, and coax them towards the stairs. Then repeat it until they can get out without coaxing.

    Is it mean? Yeah. But it’ll save their life if they ever fall in. I’ve seen stories of pets drowning in the deep end of pools, simply because they didn’t know there was a staircase on the other end. They never thought to swim to the other side. They just exhausted themselves by desperately clinging to the edge in the deep end.

    He stopped contending with the edge and started contending with the water. So many things in life are like this. Let go of that thing you think you really really have to do to solve the problem, and just face the problem itself.

      Unlikely. Temporal coherence is way too good for even the current top models, there are no AI tells.

            That’s one way to hide AI video. I don’t know about the cat being wet but the ground doesn’t look wet either when it comes out. Again maybe it’s real but I hate that these days one has to be skeptical about random videos.

                I personally cannot see it at all but I am not claiming it’s not there. The only thing I can see for sure it’s pixels.

                  Play the last half second of the video paused, then switch to the beginning and you can see the thin line of wet created by the cats passing disappear. Looks like a weak shadow, but definitely there.

                  I could go I to the physics of how water falls off a cats chest, to the thin point created by fur, but it’s a cat video and the fun of it is starting to escape.
