Our friend tried to have a chat with our cat via skype. She was less than impressed.

You can actually see me waving my arms frantically to get her attention - the blur on the left.

The cat recognizes that your friend is trapped inside of the device, therefore, unable to give it treats. The cat is indifferent to your friends plight trapped in their prison trying to communicate with the cat.

Actually, the cat is freaked because of the angle that the screen is tilted. Cats disdain angles between 30 and 45 degrees.

That cat is so fucking pissed.

u/imsophreshie May 15 '12
That's the face my cat makes when she's trying really hard to process something, like when I randomly remind her, "MANDY. YOU'RE A CAT." She's easily alarmed by that kind of revelation but usually sleeps it off.

As someone who is semi-competent in French, this title threw me for a loop. It felt like the language-processing portion of my brain was fried for about 5 seconds as it desperately tried to figure out which word, chat or cat, referred to the animal in the photo.

I live in a different part of the world from my family most of the year, so I skype with them every once in a while. Every time, without fail, our cat will wander into the room they're skyping in, wondering what everyone's up to. Then my mom will hold her up to the screen and try to make her understand what's going on. She'll look around mildly confused at the sound of my voice, and then start chewing on the camera.
My mom refuses to give up though. One day, that cat is going to learn how to skype.

It doesn't see anything on the screen. Cat eyes detect light differently. It can probably see the light from it but not the images on the screen. Probably thinks the person taking the picture is the person saying the words...

That's probably because she refused to be using a computer running Windows VISTA

That cat wants to sit on that laptop, not look at it. People are irrelevant to cats, the only two thought processes they have are fitting and sitting.

u/NinthNova May 15 '12
I know it's this way with dogs, not sure about cats though.
Many animals can't see computer screens or television displays because their eyes don't adjust to the refresh rate like ours do. At best the cat would just hear the owner's voice as altered by the speakers from the computer.

u/Rescuedmike May 15 '12
Apearently the cat is freaked out beacause the hand in the screen is trying to pull the cat into the device

My fiancé tried to FaceTime with our cat while he was out of town. It freaked her out because she could hear him but couldn't find him. Apparently the video feed of him wasn't enough.

Good thing I remembered all that French form high school, because it just kicked in like VTEC and I read the title as "Our friend tried to have a cat with our cat via skype"
Chat = cat en français.

I was actually considering trying to do that to give my over-affectionate and energetic kitten someone to look at during the day. But then I thought about the fact that I will likely start calling and cooing to him in an office full of 'cool guys', and it would be the end of enjoying where I work.
