I know the title is poorly worded but I can’t really think of how exactly to word the question.

I was watching a cat try to find a place to sit that wasn’t covered in snow and it made me think about how humans wipe off snow covered seats or just dirty seats in general.

Is that a uniquely human thing or are there other animals that exhibit similar behaviors?

    I couldn’t think of something right away, but this might fit

    I’d also look into orangutans. I don’t know for sure, but they seem to learn and mimic human behaviour quite a bit. So even if they didn’t do so by themselves, they may copy the person in pushing snow away
