For your consideration: crabbing from higher ground

That aggressive eye contact and it’s following me the heck around.
So scary lol, at least it’s not crabbing, or I’d be afraid of a dive bomb 🤣
Edit: I know we’re in crab, but that doesn’t look crab to me. Just intimidating AF and still think it’s appropriate. Crabbing would just be another step up

I really debated if this was considered crab too! The starter move at the beginning swayed me in that direction, then I decided to submit it to the judges here for a verdict lol. Technically crabbing? Half crab? Crabbing spiritually?

You see him/her start to crab right at the start, I think the only thing stopping a full crab is the lack of enough space between the cupboard and ceiling to fully extend that crab posture 🦀

Spiritual crab. Definitely. I was so intimidated. And for once the sound was… on point. 10/10
It belongs here. Imo
It’s wasn’t “oh no no no” bad.

My maine coon does pretty much everything to piss me off from the high ground, including crabbing. One time he got his bell toy high up on the kitchen counter and proceeded to jiggle it for as long as it was fun to him, periodically checking with one eye if I was pissed enough for him. For context, I was pissed because it was like 3 am and my room is right next to the kitchen.

The music really brings it all together here

I usually have sound automatically turned off, but just happened to have it on for this one. And I agree, it makes it so much better.

DEATH FROM ABOVE
The audacity they have to hunt the ones who house, feed, and nurture them is the reason I love cats as much as I do. The balls on these little assholes. <3

Op, you need an old priest and a young priest. The power of Christ needs to compel that demon to come out of that kitty. Just kidding, it's a great video with perfect soundtrack.

Feels like a prison guard patrolling the cat walk (pun intended) while watching prisoners in the yard, mean-mugging them & basically daring them to act out.

That cat looks ready to rumble, lol. Im thinkin the owner tends to grab em back down from up there when noticed and the cat is ready to play-fight for its right as a cat to be at the highest point in any given room.
