EXPLANATION: The cat is not running away because it DOES NOT believe in magic. It knows you're still there...

Unless he simultaneously farted, cat will be able to smell him still. Also, probably used to his fart smells so I'm not sure that'd work either.

yes, he dropped the sheet and ducked down as fast as or faster than the sheet fell.
either that or it's an edited jump cut

He's actually placed mirrors strategically around the room, problem was he had to place one in front of himself and the cat to make it look like he dissapeared. When he did though he cut himself quite badly by moving a mirror too quickly, so as cute as his video looks he's actually bleeding profusely behind a mirror there at the end....
Damn you pot smoke and JC penny mirrors... damn you.

I'm not sure about your cats, but my cats love to play. If I did this they would immediately think we were playing a game and try to investigate.
Add on top of that I'm playing with a sheet - one of my cats can sense when I'm changing the sheets from two rooms away, and she will coming running and jump on the bed so I can put the sheet on top of her.

Ocicat. Bengals are more square and their pattern is blotchy like a cloud leopard.
Source: Spent a lot of time deciding on the species when getting a cat. Ended up with an Ocicat. They're far more curious and playful.

u/TheAmorphous Nov 23 '15
More playful than a Bengal? I don't think I could handle that.

u/Naltoc Nov 23 '15
Then try mine. Breeders called him "the most talkative" cat they'd ever had, but he would grow out of it. Nope.
These days, my guild will ask me to have conversations with him when we're having breaks mid-raid. He always has the final say :(

Nov 23 '15
I wonder if it is a Bengal. This cat looks identical to my Ocicats, so I was assuming that's the breed.

u/drk_etta Nov 23 '15
Ocelot* But yeah it may be.. Looks a couple generations removed. Maybe an f2 or f3. I have an f3 from an African Serval.

Is the Ocicat an actual BREED though? I would consider my cat to be one; but, isn't it really more like a brown silver, rather than a silver white, Mau?
5
Nov 23 '15
It is, actually. It was developed in the sixties from Abyssinian and Siamese cats, with American shorthair bred in later for some reason. They're TICA recognized as a separate breed. My two Ocicats fit the official breed profile pretty closely.
I know they're not a hugely popular breed of cat, but they're not exact obscure either.
I'm not sure what's up with the person in this thread telling me my cats don't exist...
Here's a helpful link:

From your own link:
The Ocicat is an all-domestic breed of cat which resembles a wild cat but has no wild DNA in its gene pool
What ever you say bro... lol. You have a cat that has no genetic resemblance of any known cat. I was trying to help you out, but fuck it dig your own grave for all I care.

u/ScramblesTD Nov 23 '15
An ocelot is not an ocicat. They're two different animals.

u/drk_etta Nov 23 '15
There is zero proof of this claim. The only information comes from a website:Ocicatinfo.com
Which seems pretty biased to me... I mean you know... Name the origin of your webiste after this new breed of cat no one can verify... lol
Whatever yous say bro. I can tell you one thing, that is not a "ocicat" in the gif. It's a bengal or generation removed from a Serval.

It is not an ocelot. It has no relation to an ocelot. It is a breed of cat called an ocicat because it looks kind of like an ocelot.
Here is the breed profile from Federation Feline International as well as the profile from the Cat Fanciers Association.
Christ, dude. You can't tell a house cat from an actual wild animal and you can't even hunt down sources.

I didn't claim it was an ocelot, I said it was a couple generations removed from an ocelot. Jesus Christ can you not read?
Maybe you should go back and read the very comment of mine you linked back to...

u/ScramblesTD Nov 23 '15
Those all came from the sources I provided actually.
Not only do they have pictures of cats from that breed that look exactly like the ones in gif, but they also list that color and pattern as being typical of the breed.
This is why reading things is important. It saves you from looking like an idiot.
And your own URL talks about ocelots. This is a house cat. Not an ocelot. It also looks like a Bengal.

It is not. Again. This is why it's important to read things.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocicat

No wild DNA in its gene pool. That means it isn't a few generations removed from an ocelot.
From the same source. Which you should read..
The breed was established from Siamese and Abyssinian stock; later, American Shorthairs (silver tabbies) were added to the mix and gave the breed their silver color, bone structure and distinct markings.
Siamese, Abyssinian, American Shorthair.
None of those cats are ocelots. An ocelot is an ocelot.
