Sometimes, we do not notice big changes in our environment, if these changes occur while we perform eye movements or external events interrupt our perception. This striking phenomenon is known as “change blindness.” Research on chimpanzees, macaques, and pigeons suggests that change blindness may not be unique to humans, but our understanding is limited by the difficulty of carrying out change blindness experiments in animals. However, let’s have a look to the habitats of some of our most beloved four-legged friends: cats and dogs. Here, we list several online videos with cats and a husky appear to use humans’ change blindness to their advantage to sneak upon them. Thus, we might be able to deduce the effects of change blindness and other perceptual phenomena from animals’ behaviour. Our clear message: Watch more (cat) videos! Watch them as perceptual scientists by means of observing and analysing the cat’s behaviour.

有时，如果我们进行眼球运动或外部事件干扰我们的感知时发生这些变化，我们就不会注意到环境的巨大变化。这种惊人的现象被称为“变革盲目性”。对黑猩猩、猕猴和鸽子的研究表明，变化失明可能并非人类独有，但我们的理解受到在动物身上进行变化失明实验的困难所限制。然而，让我们看看我们最喜爱的一些四足朋友的栖息地：猫和狗。在这里，我们列出了几个关于猫和哈士奇的在线视频，它们似乎利用人类对变化的盲目性来偷袭它们。因此，我们也许能够从动物的行为中推断出变化盲目性和其他感知现象的影响。我们的明确信息是：观看更多（猫）视频！通过观察和分析猫的行为，观察他们作为感性科学家。
