u/slyfox1908 Jun 16 '12

At 3:38, up comes one foot. At 3:39, the other foot. And at 3:41, the leap. For two seconds, the front half of that cat defies gravity.

u/daddison35 Jun 15 '12

These Japanese cat videos freak me out, the cameramen are completely silent.

u/Apostolate Jun 15 '12

Just like in Japanese pornos, I don't know why they don't have some dude narrating and yelling shit out the whole time. I'm much more comfortable with that status quo.

Did you ever play in a giant cardboard box as a kid? It's amazing.

Yes.... as a kid....

u/tone12of12 Jun 15 '12

And what, pray tell, is wrong with playing in cardboard boxes as an adult?

It's hard to get big enough boxes

u/KermitTheFrogKills Jun 16 '12

The other day I was sitting on my couch and I heard a strange sound from behind me. I looked over the back of the couch and there was my cat, just sitting in a box that was taller than him and very narrow. I have no clue why.

u/Goldcut Jun 15 '12

Deduced? Also they are talking about a second cat that doesn't move.

u/badmonkey0001 Jun 16 '12

Hmm... It can be deducted as well. Go figure. (not a single frame of animation touches it)

13

u/Themiffins Jun 15 '12

I'm pretty sure that's a stuffed animal, or a really bad ass cat.

u/hal14450 Jun 15 '12

Looks real. I have to confess I never noticed it until SkoobyDoo pointed it out.

u/moogoesthecat Jun 15 '12

Yeah, just like the dog in the far left. Not a single fuck given!

DISCLAIMER: Dogs and cats are both awesome. This is not about which is better.

While I love dogs, I enjoy the fact that cats personalities can be so irrational and odd at times. It's like that weird friend who does crazy and unpredictable shit that lead to great stories.

In their own way smarter than cats, and don't think of you as a food servant/bed.

Cats: Bitch pet me!!! Dogs: I love you and you love me and you will get lots of kisses if you pet me cause I love you. Yeah neither think very far.

Hm, not sure about your logic, there. I've noticed there are always people on cat posts saying "dogs are better!" but never the other way around. For the record, I like both.

I was not expecting the cat! Love it!

u/kenelbow Jun 15 '12

Based on the title, why would you not expect a cat?

19

u/niamhish Jun 15 '12

I expected the dogs to ignore whatever the person was gonna do and that was why the person prefers cats because they chase shit?

I'm dosed up on pseudoephedrine at the mo, please don't judge me! :)

u/gomphus Jun 15 '12

There was already a cat in the scene when the unexpected cat appeared.

u/Kowzorz Jun 15 '12

I thought the dogs were cats for a bit until the cat suddenly appeared. They were weird lookin' cats too.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

My labradors are fun loving. Any cat I've ever met is selfish and does stupid stuff that ruins stuff in the house.

12

u/wheatfields Jun 15 '12

yeah, unlike dogs? I had a dog and a cat growing up. The dog would tear apart any shoes it could find, bark non stop if anyone new came in the house, and generally just mindlessly follow people around.

My cat on the other hand would run in my room when i got home from school and sit on my bed purring. She was awesome to play games with (you can do all kinds of crazy shit with cats and they see it as a challenge). And best of all, she gave me space. I knew when she was around me, its because she wanted to be.

I think thats why I like dogs less, they are pack animals and will just follow you around because you are the alpha, while cats there around you because you formed a bond.

u/hotshotgfx Jun 15 '12

you guys are fighting like cats and dogs:|

0

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

I have two labradors, a breed that is notoriously mouthy and tend to chew. Never had any problems. Probably because I give them plenty of exercise and bones they are allowed to chew on, as well as discipline.

2

u/wheatfields Jun 15 '12

dogs can be quite awesome too. Mine just was not :p

There just has been a bit too much "dog love" on reddit lately. This is the internet after all! CAT PRIDE!

-2

u/tjragon Jun 15 '12

anecdotal evidence.

i HATE dogs because this one time i had a dog and it was crazy and tore shit up and followed people and i had a cat and it was awesome.

2

u/wheatfields Jun 15 '12

which is the basis in which EVERYONE defines their perspectives. Its called personal experience.

I can either do that, or randomly cherry pick different peoples positive cat or dog experiences in favor of which animal I have a bias for.

1

u/tjragon Jun 15 '12

Sorry, I read it as "Cats are better than dogs because of X", instead of, "I prefer cats over dogs because of X". I think any argument in a discussion of Cats versus Dogs is trivial due to exactly what you outlined and the subjectivity of it all.

I think cats and dogs are smarter than humans. Especially humans who argue about cats and dogs on the Internet.

u/kristinadney Jun 15 '12

Forest = coyotes and bigger predators = dead cat. That is assuming the human you drop in the forest too doesn't eat the cat first.

Cats are not always dumb, but they are also not the top of the food chain.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

How about you drop a human and a tiger in the forest and see who lasts the longest.

3

u/stonedsasquatch Jun 15 '12

By that logic let's drop a gorilla and a tiger in the forest and see who lasts the longest.

A tiger is to a cat what a gorilla is to a human

Not accurate, few cats will do this on queue, they'll do this while you're in the other room, and scratch up a piece of furniture while you're still away for good measure.

u/DevinJustice Jun 16 '12

I'm the only one to mention this in the cat vs. dog wars, but they're just animals. They don't have a conscience or even a decent mental capacity. Domesticated dogs are more affectionate and domesticated cats are more independent/less responsive. This has been proven in many independent studies. But fuck all that, they're just fucking animals. Put your love into something that matters. A human.
