Recent research has shed light on the intriguing ability of some cats to play fetch, a behavior traditionally associated with dogs. A study published in Scientific Reports revealed that many cats, including breeds like Siamese and Bengal, often spontaneously learn to fetch. This behavior is more common than previously thought, with approximately 94% of surveyed cat owners reporting that their cats exhibited it. The study suggests that cats may develop the skill to play fetch on their own, indicating a level of cognitive ability and playfulness not consistently recognized in felines.
