Attention /sci/entists. This is a burning question in need of answers.

Any hypotheses?

Fun!

But is it fun for the cat or the observer?

>> No.5429105

First we need to ask ourselves what is fun.

>> No.5429118

Fun is the characteristic observable associated with an object which is in a state of enjoyment.

Assuming it's not epileptic I'd say a lot of prancing.

A sufficiently large sample size asking whether or not fun is occurring could obviate questions about what exactly fun is.

I must concur with your hypothesis.

I experienced an increase in muscle tension around my mouth and cheeks to a general widening and upwards effect. This is, however, anecdotal evidence.

Since I was observing a recording of a cat and not an actual one my fun may just have been a placebo effect.

Fun is a buzzword for when you can't objectively say why a game's good.

>> No.5429245

>>5429135
Was that study peer-reviewed?
