This smart cat shows off his skills with his favorite game

He always wins.

Cats are the perfect predator, and have a knack for deterring rodents and hunting down pests.

In Gilbert's case, he can always find a bell.

Redditor Dingingdonging posted a video of their cat, Gilbert, playing the classic cup game. They hid a small bell under a cup, and then shifted it around with other cups. Gilbert was able to expertly locate the bell each time, tapping the cup he thought the bell was inside.

The game shows just how precise a cat's hearing is.

And redditors were pretty amazed by Gilbert's patience.

Some tried to teach their pets the same game, but it didn't work out very well.

Keep it up, Gilbert!
