Stopped at traffic lights - zebra crossing - busy two way main road. A cat ran straight way down the middle of the zebra crossing, half way across, looked left and right, shook its head and ran back.

I would say so.

It reminds me of a time I had to stop at a pelican crossing (with a zebra) to allow a solitary Doberman dog to cross the road. There was no-one with him, and someone would have had to have pressed the button in order for the traffic lights to change at that particular crossing. Only the dog could have done this as he/she was definitely alone. The dog waited for the lights to change, watched my car stop and then calmly crossed the road just as any human would have done.

This story was always met with disbelief whenever I recounted it.

proof the animal world is progressing..as the human race regresses.
