My cat tried to count my cash one night when I left my old stash container out on the bed. He had a couple dozen bills laid out, none of them touching each other, and was sitting in the middle of them, looking at them. My point is, a cat can often get the first step of a human activity down pat, it's the follow up where they run into trouble.

What's the computer in the background? Looks like an IBM PS/2 from about 1992.

This is usually what happened when you call someone, they pick up, and it is silent on the other end of the line.
