The things we do to make our cats happy! Well, why not? It makes us happy, too. My cats love being spun around in the computer chair. I’m not so sure either of them would go for having their bellies held under a stream of running water.
I have discovered a revolutionary new secret technique for making a cat happy, but I’m saving it for tomorrow.
This video will not help you decide who are crazier, cockatoos or raccoons. You will also be treated to boxing kangaroos and a large alligator with what looks like half of a smaller alligator in its jaws.
Welcome to a whole lot of animals behaving unpredictably.
One of the nicest things about your pets is, they think you’re a really big deal. If even your cat thinks you’re a schlub, you are a schlub indeed.
But the cats in this video don’t think their humans are a waste of space. Look how happy they are to see you! Everybody needs a bit of that, don’t you think?
The mother cat in this video is lauded for her patience with her five supercharged kittens. The other theory is, she’s just plain tuckered out. Kittens can do that to you.
Our two kittens got into everything. Somehow they got up on top of the refrigerator one night, and Peep crawled into the bag that contained my ice cream-making machine. The first we knew of it was a horrific crash from the kitchen. Happily, Peep was not injured in the least, after falling off the top of the refrigerator in a bag with a heavy appliance. That was the end of my ice cream maker, though. To this day I don’t know how they got up there. I have heard that kittens can fly when you’re not looking. That seems as likely an explanation as any.
It’s obvious that the bulldog in this video, at least to some extent, understands what he’s seeing on TV. Something bad is happening, and he doesn’t like it!
I recognized the movie: it’s John Carpenter’s remake of The Thing. All right, the dog doesn’t understand it’s not real. But that goes for an awful lot of people, too. Both these dogs grasp the point that what they’re seeing on the screen is a long way from being kosher. They’re smart!
Why do cats have a compulsion to put out candles? And if you watch closely, I think you’ll see that at least half of these cats appear to be left-handed. Maybe candle-snuffing is a natural urge in southpaw cats.
You’ll also observe that some of these clips have been set up by humans–we don’t generally leave burning candles sitting on the floor. People will do anything to get on Youtube.
Don’t blame the cat if he burns your house down, chuckles.
Unlike the cats in this video, our cat Peep likes me to sing to her. Her favorites are “Walk like a Peep, Talk like a Peep” and “Farewell and Adieu to You, Fair Spanish Peepsters.” It’s probably a plus that I don’t sound like Julio Iglesias.
I’m afraid most of the people in this little film deserved to be silenced by their cats.
It’s true–these cats are really into sports on TV. Hockey? Oh, yeah! Imagine if the cat could really catch one of those little men zooming all around the screen. Golf? Imagine the golfer’s reaction if he launched a long drive only to have it plucked out of the air by a cat. They also go for tennis and football… and ballroom dancing. Someone should’ve taught that cat to say “May I cut in?” rather than just springing at the dancers.
I am happy to be able to say that my cats are always too busy eating, sleeping, or fighting to have time left over to break stuff. But no doubt about it–the cats in this video need an attitude adjustment.
Some of them have appeared in other video compilations, but not the all-time champion toilet paper shredder. I wonder if he’d stop if you made him pay for the toilet paper.
There are some good bits in this collection. My favorite is the jumping chicken. And I like the footage of the dog dragging the gigantic stuffed toy up the stairs–toward what end, we can only speculate.
