At the start, you can see a human walking along beside them. The cats glance up at the human once in a while, probably for cues. And there are several items scattered around the room that look like they're for training purposes.

Still impressive. This is literally herding cats, with a twist.

I have, of course, seen many of mine make some interesting dodges and weaves when playing, but nothing sustained like this.

Delightful to watch, whatever the reason.
