Our cat Buster used to love to lay his head down on your hand. Which meant you had to stop whatever you were doing; but for that much love, it’s worth it.
And there’s a tiny puppy in here who seems to think he’s about ten times bigger than he is. I knew a little man like that: always picking fights with fellows twice his size. The puppy is cute. He wasn’t.
You just know you’re gonna grow up to have a hard life, if your cat beats you at table hockey.
Look at the fun cats can have with people-toys, when there are no paper bags or cardboard boxes–or purses left open–available.
I wish they’d play chess, though. Nobody to play it with, around here.
So I looked out my upstairs window one day, and our cat, Henry, walked past. Holy cow! He was way up high in a tree and tooling around on the branches. Just like the cat in this video, who shinnied up his tree to catch pigeons.
Henry got down on his own; he never met the tree that could defeat him. But in this video, we are left in some doubt as to how the cat gets down again. I expect a man with a ladder figures strongly in that scenario.
Y’know that classic ghost story by M.R. James–Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad? The one in which the sheets on the other bed in the room rise up and start to fold and wrinkle themselves into–well, never mind, I don’t want to spoil it for you. Point is, it’s almost certain that that story was inspired by a cat. And in this video, you’ll see how that was possible.
This astonishingly patient woman is trying to play Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu Op. 66 (otherwise known as “Long Tall Sally,” I believe) on her piano, but her cat has other ideas. I wonder if Chopin has always had this effect on cats. Or is it true, as they say, that Chopin’s own cat, Fuzzy, wrote a good half of Chopin’s music?
The octopus is well known for its ability to slip into or out of tight places. It’s not so hard to do, when you don’t have a skeleton.
Cats do have skeletons, or so I’ve heard. Otherwise they’d wind up folded in your wallet or seeping outside under the closed door. Watch the one cat in this video practically pour himself into a glass jar that you’re sure is just too small to hold him.
Why do they do it? Free tin-foil hat to whoever knows.
When you sternly rebuke your dog, he hangs his head, cringes, and does that weird little frantic tail-wagging.
When you sternly rebuke your cat, he looks at you like you don’t have the foggiest idea what you’re talking about. Of course he shredded the paper towels! You got a problem with that?
Disclaimer: My cats simply don’t do things like that. They just get yelled at for fighting.
There are dogs that simply wouldn’t let the cat steal their bed–I mean, there have to be. Right? Alas, none of those dogs made it into these videos.
What do you want to bet these cats have beds of their own but would much rather usurp the dog’s bed? It must be fun.
Four-legged, furry pets are just more fun than centipedes. (Giant millipedes are nice, but have no concept of fun.) Behold the sound of food being poured into a bowl, and how fast the cat can get there! You could make a movie about it.
Yes, you read that right: there is no Bigfoot footage in this video. Just a lot of cats and kittens.
Just as rare as Bigfoot, these days, are phone booths. But one of these cats has invented a new way to drop a dime…
