The option to crawl under the obstacle is invisible to the cat until it estimates it cannot make the jump. I think there's a life lesson here, but I'm still hung over.
Presumably that comes with increased risk (of e.g. being eaten by predators) in the wild. The life lesson would thus be something along the lines of "stay on top of the situation at all times".
Or "don't underestimate how long it can take to get mud out of fur".
