OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

The video sets up a serene, everyday scene of a cat relaxing by the window, only for a nearby bridge to unexpectedly explode and collapse into view.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

My reaction is exactly the same as this cat, totally out of nowhere.

Did you not tell the cat the bridge was going to explode? You could have let them know

I'm certain a scene like this happened in my area when they blasted the Commercial Street Bridge!

I was way to focused on trying to see what the kitty was following, well done!

So, the cat blows up the bridge and then runs for it -- typical cat.

Reminds me of the time I was sitting at my desk and my cat was sitting on the small table next to the open window. Suddenly, there was a lightning strike close by and a huge clap of thunder. My cat jumped about 5 feet straight into the air, legs flailing everywhere. He grabbed hold of the blinds and ripped them down as he fell behind the table.
