in reply to Sky.Bit • • •The video begins with a black cat lying on a white bed, grooming itself by licking its paw and rubbing it over its body. The cat is in a relaxed position, with its eyes partially closed, and the background shows a room with a mirror and a vase with dried flowers. The scene then transitions to a brown cat on a bed with a floral-patterned cover, also lying down and seemingly uninterested in the black cat's grooming. Text overlays appear, reading "WHY DOES SHE NOT CARE" with crying emojis, suggesting a humorous or concerned tone about the brown cat's lack of reaction. The video continues with a light-colored cat with blue eyes, sitting on a dark surface, looking directly at the camera with a calm and slightly indifferent expression. The final frames focus on this cat, with no text overlay, emphasizing its serene demeanor. The video captures the cats in a domestic setting, highlighting their different reactions to the grooming activity.
