@WildIndigo494
To those interested in what this video means, here's what I think: it represents the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. According to the ancient story, these animals were chosen to be part of the zodiac in the order that they finished a race. The cat was originally a contender in this race to become a zodiac, but it failed to cross a river to the finish. This is why, if you look closely, you can see the shape of a cat throughout the animation, and also this is why the very last scene shows a cat waiting at the edge of a river--it was the one animal that lost the race and did not become a zodiac.
@MonkeyMakeMeAngry420
Do you think maybe the animals are all dying for a reason? Maybe the cat gets revenge because it's angry it lost?
@RallyCar08
+MonkeyMakeMeAngry420 Maybe the cat foresaw that it was a race to death and decided to not comtinue. Making the cat the most clever one out of the bunch by the end.
@ayylmao2664

@Yashnashettyy

@chloeburbunk1798
In the story, the cat was supposed to be a zodiac, but did it make the end of the race. That’s what the cat is in the end of the vid. However, every animal that did become a zodiac died, but the cat survived. This makes the cat the smartest animal out of them all

@giusepperesponte8077
