Cat predicts outcome of AFCON semi-final matches

As Africans look forward to the semi-final match, a man used his cat to show the prediction for the semi-final match between Morocco and Nigeria.

In a viral video by @triplex0701, the man showed how the cat determined the winner for the semi-final matches.

The cat was approaching two food bowls with tags on them, one for Morocco and the other for Nigeria.

Whichever bowl the cat eats from indicates its pick, and after some hesitation, the cat ate from the bowl tagged 'Nigeria,' suggesting a victory for the Super Eagles.

In the Senegal versus Egypt match, the cat ate from Egypt's bowl, suggesting a victory for the Egyptians.
