Cats playing alone is said to be effective in relieving stress and relieving lack of exercise. You can’t help but feel warm when you see them fighting desperately with their toys all by themselves. On X (Twitter), a cat is becoming a hot topic due to its intense solo play. We asked the owner for more details.

Acrobatics!? Solo activities like “Acrobatics!?” are a hot topic.
“I play alone a lot”
The video posted with such a comment shows a cat playing inside cardboard. I was playing with the toy, throwing a “cat punch” at it, but I had too much energy and it spun around. Then he let go of the toy and jumped out of the cardboard box.
When her mischievous and cute appearance was published on X, she received 10,000 likes. Replies include “How are you?” “Is there another one?! I looked at it three times,” “Don’t be under the illusion that one of them is doing judo,” and “Turn around once.” I’ve received many comments such as “Yes.”
Mei-chan was rescued shortly after she was born.
Mei is a calico cat and is estimated to be 6 months old. She has an active and tsundere personality. She loves to play and is always running around the house full of energy. When the video that went viral was filmed, he was absorbed in playing alone.
“Before I knew it, he had put a toy inside an empty cardboard box and was playing with it.It was a fairly light toy, so as he kept grabbing it with his feet and playing with it, I think it tickled his hunting instincts. His movements escalated and he was playing violently. After about 10 minutes of playing, the cardboard was full of holes from his nails.”
The toy they were playing with was Mei’s favorite. He has other toys, but he especially plays with them a lot.
“It’s a mouse-shaped toy. It has a bell inside, and people seem to love the tinkling sound, so I bought two of them. I’ve tried various other toys, but this one seems to be my favorite. Both fell apart to the point where the cotton inside was coming out.”
After that, Mei seemed to be tired of playing, so she flopped out of the cardboard box and lay down on the floor. “When I see him playing, I think he’s cute and kitten-like, but when I see him resting, I feel a lot of sadness,” says his owner, rolling his eyes.
