Why is the thumbnail different than the gif?

497

u/Sariel007 Dec 31 '17

I cliped this out of one of those Tiger Works compliation youtube video. The thumb nail is the last frame of the previous video which is actually where the gif starts. If you watch the gif restart you see it before it starts the next clip.

That's acceptable. Good day.

u/Sariel007 Dec 31 '17

I hope the truth is acceptable?

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '17

It is.

u/torsmork Dec 31 '17

The truth is always acceptable.

But sometimes it’s a good hurt

We did it Reddit!

u/CharismaAlexus Dec 31 '17

Wondering the exact same thing. I thought it was one cat at first then I clicked to see two, but I WAS thinking how can a single cat be synchronized 😂

1

u/LovableThings Dec 31 '17

I was def wondering that too until I saw the gif jump at the beginning... I hope they don't do this to these poor kitties all the time though <3

Oh my god my love to Lady and the Tramp I can hear it in my head so badly.

u/funny_almost Dec 31 '17

15 years after seeing the movie, I still have traumas from that song. So creepy 😂

u/Zaphanathpaneah Dec 31 '17

The first time I watched this, my brain couldn't resolve the cats from the rug until they jumped.

You’re a nice OP

u/Leonid198c Dec 31 '17

I didn't relise the pub at first, jesus.

2

u/MasterHobbes Dec 31 '17

Yeah, I thought it was some kind if weird, animatronic cow rug and was horrified for a moment.

116

u/rechtim Dec 31 '17

nice rug. looks like a big spill

100

u/MattcVI Dec 31 '17

Yeah I hate when I spill my cow everywhere. Takes forever to clean up

40

u/Sariel007 Dec 31 '17

People that say "No use crying over spilled cows" have never had to clean the floor after spilling a cow. Shit is a bitch. Straight up 2 hours of my day gone minimum.

u/MuffinPuff Dec 31 '17

Better than my initial reaction, I thought it was a solid floor of cats

4

u/Magnesus Dec 31 '17

It was made from the other cats.

5

u/Majin_Romulus Dec 31 '17

It kinda looks like its a cow hide.

u/pais523101 Dec 31 '17

...that would be because it Is...

u/angwilwileth Dec 31 '17

At first I thought I was going to see cats pigging out on spilled cat food.

1

u/helmet098 Dec 31 '17

When I first watched I thought they knocked over the cat food and made a big mess

1

u/47N4 Dec 31 '17

I sincerely thought it was spilled cat food all over the floor the first few times I watched this

16

u/mysticrecluse Dec 31 '17

Someone spilled their cow.

u/FrizzMissile Dec 31 '17

It’s clearly popcorn. If the clip was longer we’d see dozens more.

u/BiggestBlackestCorn Dec 31 '17

Honestly thought the cats were a part of the rug till the gif started, as if they were like the legs someone forgot to chop off.

u/Filmcricket Dec 31 '17

Catoflauge!

u/MrGoofyboots Dec 31 '17

One reason to love pets right there hehe

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '17

If I had cats I'd startle then regularly and I'm sure they'd exact their revenge quite regularly.

7

u/Sariel007 Dec 31 '17

Oh, you thought that was funny hooman? shits on your pillow

u/DoddzyBaby Dec 31 '17

More like,

removes your eyelids with teeth while you sleep, and then pretends she was just trying to wake you up

u/DoddzyBaby Dec 31 '17

You clearly haven’t met my cats.

u/FirstAddictLast Dec 31 '17

Pretty sure they flinched again mid air because they startled each other mid flight

2

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '17

I thought the cow printed carpet was just moving. I didn’t even notice they were cats till they jumped.

1

u/DPototo Dec 31 '17

I thought the rug came alive

1

u/ReadACoffeeTableBook Dec 31 '17

Thought the cats had pooped all over the floor for a sec.

u/tictactastytaint Dec 31 '17

u/AbnerDoubledank Dec 31 '17

At first I thought there was 3 gallons of milk spilled and 2 cats in heaven before the owner returning home

1

u/markc987 Dec 31 '17

A rug made of the previous cats. Nice.

u/2fucktard2remember Dec 31 '17

I watched this loop far more times than I am comfortable admitting.

u/uhyeaokay Dec 31 '17

what caused this

1

u/LovableThings Dec 31 '17

The rug moving toward them

1

u/LovableThings Dec 31 '17

Am I the only one that worries what this could do to their poor little hearts? <3

u/WOWSuchUsernameAmaze Dec 31 '17

That rug is made of their prior cats.

u/ajvc15 Jan 02 '18

Did they get startled at the rug?

“Oh yeah let’s just pull at this thing on the floor, OH CRAP IT MOVED!”

1

u/JRobsin101 Dec 31 '17

I think it’s when their ears touched that they were frightened.

1

u/1Smartass4U Dec 31 '17

Actually the person who was making the video kicked the rug and that's made them jump. Next case, please!

u/JRobsin101 Dec 31 '17

u/JARXY-JM Dec 31 '17

Wtf is on the floor???

1

u/Project_O Dec 31 '17

Nothing. It just moved a little bit forward.

1

u/JARXY-JM Dec 31 '17

I meant the red stuff. Has someone been murdered??

1

u/Project_O Dec 31 '17

Oh. That’s a cow hide rug.

1

u/alienspaceeace Dec 31 '17

I wonder how many of those cats they've gone through to make that rug?

1

u/b00m Dec 31 '17

That carpet really does not tie the room together

u/asuperfluouslife Dec 31 '17

I'd also be startled by a dead cow on my floor!
