Are humans the only animal that wipes things off?

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?

My cat wipes the condensation off windows so she can look out.

That sounds fuckin adorable.

Mine just scream at me until I clear the window for them 💀

Our's is convinced that we control the weather. If it's too cold, he won't go out but yells at us to turn up the heat; he tries again a few times before giving up and sulking.

(We have a deck he can't get off of; we don't let our cats roam free.)
