      1) Title is disinformative, that's not what would happen if cats did really competitive programming

      2) There is 20 seconds of cat and 3 minutes of nonsense screen recording. Better just do 3 minutes and 20 seconds of cat instead.

      3) Video is not funny, informative or entertaining in any way.

        1) I dont think the title is disinformative, it says "If cats did competitive programming". And there you can see my cat "solving" CP problems, what else would you expect? 2) Your proportions are not actually correct, but anyway, there are quite a lot of sceneces where the cat appears. 3) If you think its not funny, its alright. Its your opinion. But it doesnt mean everyone finds it in the same way as you do.

        Thanks for your feedback anyway.

      Consider this video, in which was well liked and kind of same concept.

      It highlights the well known personality traits and quirks of these contestants along with jokes about how codeforces like the alt joke. It is funny because people well associated in the competitive programming community think like "lol this must be how these top people feel when competing" and can think "yeah i remember hearing this person has this quirk."

      Your video doesn't use any of the charms of either the cat or codeforces to its advantage, besides the fact that cats walk different and don't have human hands. The idea perhaps had potential, but to execute it well you should take advantage to highlight some funny facts about how the cat would interact differently with codeforces than a human. The type of contest and animal could have changed in this video with no difference in comedic value.

      Hope this helps if you try to make another skit. I do like them when well made, so I hope you try again.
