A “punishment game” disguised as a competitive activity

A white, fluffy cat rapidly stacks and unstacks a set of white cups on a blue mat, its movements timed by a digital clock that counts up from zero to 00:00:06, 00:00:26, 00:00:46, 00:00:56, and finally 00:00:86, before the cat presses a red button on a small box to the right.
