Technology is incredible, especially when our eyes think we’re seeing something that isn’t there. This is what happened to an innocent little tuxedo kitten. He was sure he would catch himself a beautiful koi. But alas, the cat pond and its beautiful fish are an illusion in a fictitious sea of LED fantasy.
Our focus on the video was posted to user X Science Girl. The original post from someone who claims to be the CEO of LED TOKYO We are told that the LED pond is something that “… even cats can’t understand” and “LED that cats also respond to.” As you watch the video, you’ll notice that every time the cat touches the LED screen, it looks like he’s disturbing the actual water. There should be splashing water and a wet, sad cat.

Other incredible visual entertainment screens are popping up all over the world, but especially in Japan. A fantastic Godzilla-sized 3-dimensional calico cat entertains Tokyo pedestrians with its realistic antics. With the advancement of technology, we can expect more gizmos and gadgets to amaze our senses.
For our cat, the pond and fish can serve as an active way to engage his brain and work on instinctual hunting. Cat owners have been using screens to entertain their cats for years. A man built his rescue cat a room with a small TV. When my kittens were little, I used Fruit Ninja on my iPad to keep them busy. They love swiping fruit!
This new technology with LED ponds, realistic-looking koi, and the illusion of water movement can also be relaxing for people. Imagine having the joy of a koi pond without the necessary work of keeping it clean and feeding the fish!
