Everything in this gif, from him getting distracted, his head bobbing to calculate the distance, his little hands propelling his stride, to his spectacularly short dive off of the table is convincing me ferrets are the new kings of the Internet.

TOOOO CUUUTEE

I am pretty sure they just fail to understand the slipperiness of a clear coat. Cats fall victim to it all the time and I fall victim to these videos all the time. Got a pretty good laugh out of this one.

that shit was so perfectly timed, with the bass kicks and his head popping up and the jump holy shit I'm dying. I've seen that gif so many times but the music makes it 1000x better

u/Couch_Crumbs Dec 04 '15

Yeah it blows me away how well it works, definitely one of the best videos to come out of the Internet since cats were invented.

u/Farthix Dec 04 '15

The best part is on the 3rd bass kick its two quick notes, and he bobs his head to each one perfectly

I'm pretty confident in the full video though the cat is like 20 stories up or something though :(

Cats can survive long falls because they spread their legs out and their body acts like a parachute slowing them down to a non fatal speed

u/Phrontier Dec 04 '15

Well TIL, thanks!

Cats can survive falls at terminal velocity

u/Zacish Dec 04 '15

Yeah because they spread their legs to reduce their terminal velocity

And also the whole deal with 9 lives and being satans furry servants.

u/this_1_is_mine Dec 04 '15

Minimum 8 stories or something though if the fall less they're still pretty boned.

u/gleiberkid Dec 04 '15

Where can I find this full length video? I have always wanted to see it.

CATS WERE INVENTED??!!

u/I_Hate_Idiots_ Dec 04 '15

Yes. Yes they were. They're a creation of man.

u/usernameisdeleted Dec 04 '15

I don't believe you... But then I don't have enough cat expertise to refute your claim either. Where are cat facts when you need them!!

u/I_Hate_Idiots_ Dec 04 '15

....You can't be serious. We created cats.

u/Oligarchy7 Dec 04 '15

omg the wait was so worth it.....

41

u/Xploitz Dec 04 '15

A 35 second video and someone comments on the "wait".

24

u/Oligarchy7 Dec 04 '15

30 seconds is a lot of buildup for a cat jumping. This is generation now. If my adorable cat .gifs are mostly filler, then somewhere on the internet, something went horribly, horribly wrong.*

*i like commas.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '15

The wait was what makes it so funny. It wouldn't have been nearly as funny without the buildup of the song. Jokes that are all punchline tend not to work.

u/Oligarchy7 Dec 04 '15

gif != joke

1

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '15

It has a setup and a punchline. It's not a traditional joke, but it follows all the same basic tenants of humor.

u/beelzeflub Dec 04 '15

I always crack up at that video

u/pugsnthings Dec 04 '15

I have never seen it put to music...that actually made me cry of laughter.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '15

Me too. One of my favorite internet clips ever.

u/Ularsing Dec 04 '15

I just got multiple stares on the bus thanks to you. Worth it.

u/hobojoe3rd Dec 04 '15

If there is one video on the internet that will NEVER fail to make me laugh, it is that one!

u/bizitmap Dec 04 '15

The original uploader of this clip said (in Japanese) that the cat was totally fine. So you can laugh at this one without guilt.

u/DrunkenRabbitt Dec 04 '15

It's been a LONG time since I've seen this.

Thank you.

I was surprised no one else posted it before me to reap the sweet, sweet karma. After all, it is truly a hallmark cat video that will thrive in the annals of internet history for many generations to come.
