Cats are one of the few animals to have properties of both solids and liquids.

Dobby's the one! Yes, that's right. Play it safe with Dobby. We'll make beautiful children and live comfortably in Southern England. Yes, Dobby's the one.

that's not a cat

[–]maccabeus 4 points5 points ago

I wonder if that woman knows that it's both dangerous and mildly cruel to make a cat swim in a pool...

[–]opie2 26 points27 points ago

Why am I the first one to actually provide a link to a mirror of the infamous Bonsai Kitten web site? My guess? Because it's from way back in the day, circa 2000, when many redditors were just making their way out of middle school.....O_O And now the original site URL redirects to some shitty thinkgeek plush toy bullshit.

I remember the shit storm about that site when it first went up. Oh the outrage......

[–]lordlicorice 24 points25 points ago

[–]unbearingly_light 8 points9 points ago

It taught me to never blindly trust things I read on the Internet. I was pretty upset. A very valuable lesson.

[–]maccabeus 5 points6 points ago

I remember being 100% convinced that this was real, forgetting about it, and only learning that it was a hoax about 2 years ago on, you guessed it, Reddit.

[–]shiftdnb 3 points4 points ago

We went from something that could be in r/aww to r/wtf real quick

[–]DuckTrumpet 1 point2 points ago

[–]gharbutts 0 points1 point ago

I remember getting really upset about this and not believing my sister when she explained to me that it was a hoax.

[–]varemia 1 point2 points ago

My English professor used this as an example of how to spot websites that are providing questionable content.

[–]EndymionAwake 3 points4 points ago

I find the best example of how to spot websites that are providing questionable content is this.

[–]big_boy_pants 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, the number of people that didn't realize it was a joke was mind blowing.

Quick question, you got the Hamster Dance song out of your head yet?

[–]CarlFromAccounting -1 points0 points ago

Is this a joke?

[–]ShivaNZ 0 points1 point ago

I was in high school, saw the website, saw that my country was one of those that accepted shipping and lost my shit. Sent a long email about animal cruelty and how my great and powerful prime minister (who now works for the UN and I'm facebook friends with) wouldn't allow such a thing in her country. I had not yet learned not to feed the trolls.

[–]TheFreeloader 8 points9 points ago

They are very Daoist in that way.

[–]HerpesThePig[S] 3 points4 points ago

Daoist?

[–]CoachSnigduh 3 points4 points ago

Daoism (pretty sure Daoism and Taoism are one and the same) is a religion originating in East Asia. It's a very interesting religion. Look it up, it is a very fascinating philosophy.

Edit: The downvoting going on with this topic are ridiculous. Don't downvote someone for trying to being ignorant and especially don't downvote those attempting to remedy ignorance. Also, i erased what I said about duality because I apparently didn't recall correctly.

[–]ticktalik 2 points3 points ago

As for the reference, they believe in a concept called duality...

No, the concept is non-duality... Important distinction.

[–]CoachSnigduh 0 points1 point ago

Ah sorry, it's been a while since I took the class.

[–]ILoveTrance 1 point2 points ago

The Tao Te Ching is a great read, religious or not.

Do you know the type of cat this is? ( the one in the bowl?)

[–]katelynroxx 7 points8 points ago

[–]blueyedlvrx01 6 points7 points ago

I call this one. Totally a lion in disguise.

[–]HerpesThePig[S] 2 points3 points ago

Nope sorry

[–]Icweinerx2 2 points3 points ago

Dam. I'm wondering because my cat has the same features as the one in the bowl, and I dont know the name of the type of breed.

[–]HerpesThePig[S] 5 points6 points ago

well get a bowl, put it in front of your cat, and let the cat go for it!

[–]DoctorDeath 207 points208 points ago

[–]TheEastyE 53 points54 points ago

I actually felt claustrophobic watching that

[–]BubbaBoondocks 23 points24 points ago

Like butterflies in the stomach claustrophobic, it's crazy. I am fine with elevators and crowded spaces, and anything you would encounter in normal life. But put me in that cats position, I am freaking the fuck out. I feel the same way when I see people wedging themselves through cracks and holes in caves. Crazy assholes

[–]Th3W1ck3dW1tch 15 points16 points ago

When I was a child there was a pool that had a 5-10m end. Separating the lane swimming from the diving was a 5 foot wide concrete barrier. There was a about a foot of clearance between the bottom of the pool and this barrier. We used to swim underneath this for fun. The thrill was the moment your skin brushed up against the bottom and stopped you, instant fear.

[–]NathanD333 13 points14 points ago

5 feet wide! So at one point, you're entire body was basically between the concrete? I don't even want to think of ever trying that.

[–]JawnF 11 points12 points ago

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? D:

[–]E_lucas 1 point2 points ago

I don't know but I'd totally do it. I love the thought of swimming through tunnels and arches and things.

[–]tforge13 4 points5 points ago

Jesus I'm not even claustrophobic but that sounds absolutely terrifying.

[–]TheEastyE 3 points4 points ago

Reading this made my palms sweaty

[–]madplayshd 0 points1 point ago

There is this german TV host of a science show, and one time he demonstrated how small of a hole humans can fit through. "Alright now exhale to fit through the hole".

[–]youareairborne 5 points6 points ago

As a claustrophobic person, I'm freaking the fuck out watching this damn gif.

[–]olympusmons 31 points32 points ago

what sort of cat has ears like that?

[–]nothas 14 points15 points ago

it's either part bobcat or part highland lynx. here's a site that breeds them

neat fact: although they can get up to 30 pounds, they are still considered domestic cats and do not need any special exotic pet licensing

[–]pat_skelly 11 points12 points ago

I want to say they are american curls by their size and shape of face.

[–]Satyral 3 points4 points ago

[–]hugothegreat 7 points8 points ago

I'm curious too. Can someone please help identify the breed?

[–]blackpixel 77 points78 points ago

[–]HerpesThePig[S] 47 points48 points ago

[–]Rikitikitavi9162 0 points1 point ago

It's an American Curl :)

[–]PretendCasual 2 points3 points ago

Ones that get stuck in fucking vases all the time.

[–]fat_black_lady_lovah 1 point2 points ago

The sort that can fit into fish bowls

[–]wsgy1111 -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Chili440 4 points5 points ago

Why did you answer like we're stupid for not knowing? I'd never heard of American Curls before.

[–]wsgy1111 5 points6 points ago

Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was reddit, where everybody jerks off to cat pictures and subscribes to catfacts.

Sorry I insulted your feelings

[–]Chili440 5 points6 points ago

Glad I could make you feel awesomely superior.

[–]AcuraVIP 15 points16 points ago

It amazes me how easily it gets out

[–]runsoutofspace 12 points13 points ago

That's what she said?

[–]down_vote_magnet 126 points127 points ago

"Don't wurry. I tucks your tail in for u."

[–]iseetrolledpeople 39 points40 points ago

Funny for me because both cats tried to tuck it.

[–]qizarate 6 points7 points ago

That's so bizarre, though. Why would they do that?

[–]iseetrolledpeople 14 points15 points ago

Just for shits and giggles.

Seriously now. Looking at how they stopped once the tail was in, I really think that they really wanted it tucked in.

edit: looking one more time at it, i see a 4th cat laying/sleeping.

[–]Ozlin 5 points6 points ago

No matter what's going on in the world there is a cat somewhere near by not giving a fuck about it.

[–]UserManHeMan 4 points5 points ago

The other cats were aware of the liquid cats desire to be completely submerged in a tiny and odd crevice, for it is a interest shared in all cats. Once they saw the ultimate glory of the completely submerged cat, they were not impressed. This odd shaped cozy is not up to par with some of the other options in the house that provide more privacy and comfort. Though it is not likely any of cats will soon repeat liquid cats test, the burn for the perfect fit is forever etched into their hearts. And the hunt will continue.

[–]WanderingStoner 1 point2 points ago

indeed

[–]marimano 6 points7 points ago

I think they were playing with the tail more than they were trying to tuck it in. Cats love strangely moving objects that they can bite/claw onto. My cat goes on top of a chair and tries to catch her own tail between the gaps of the back of the chair. It's cute when you see it but hard as fuck to describe.

[–]Warlizard 21 points22 points ago

Proof positive that cats have no bones.

[–]samanthalillian 19 points20 points ago

I think they're liquids when they want to be.

I'd like to know how your pig acquired its name...

[–]HerpesThePig[S] 7 points8 points ago

I was in class one day drawing random shit.. (A pig) and the concept was a crack head trashy animal.. with herpes. Therefore Herpes The Pig originated.

[–]DirtyWooster 6 points7 points ago

May I have some pics of that poxy pig?

[–]jared97 7 points8 points ago

It is a beautiful drawing, I saw it in person.

[–]Bobthemightyone 6 points7 points ago

The fact that the other two cats wasted no time to start swatting the tail shows a bit about cat nature

[–]DeliriousZeus 5 points6 points ago

Why is the title "Meanwhile..."?

[–]WaxyPumpkin72 1 point2 points ago

It really doesn't make any sense.

[–]firebolt989 6 points7 points ago

You should stop the gif right when the cat looks at the camera, pause it, then add in the falling sunglasses and add 'Deal with it' to the bottom XD

[–]DirtyWooster 4 points5 points ago

In order to catch the goldfish, you must first be the goldfish

Did you glue the vase to the table? How come it didn't even move an inch.

The other cats are just tucking him in for the night.

This is an older one, from America's funniest home videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dna0oWu_EU I do like how the other cat seems to help get the tail in for the cat though, good teamwork.

Reminds me of that story of the lady that tried saving her cat that feel into a 50 gallon drum that had some water in the bottom.

She reached in to save the cat and got stuck upside down. She couldn't hold herself up forever and the drum was tethered so it couldn't be knocked over.

Her husband found her dead like that.

Now I feel sad :(

[–]if_you_say_so 0 points1 point ago

[–]dlos22 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a snake with fur. These creatures are nasty as fuk... Go ahead and down vote me. I lived with 2 of these things for 6 months until I couldn't take it anymore and moved out. Shed everywhere, claw up furniture, pissed on my 3D tv, got hair in all my food, tooth brush. Yeah... I have tried my hardest to block all the cat stuff on this site but I some how manage to stumble upon cat posts 3-5 times a day. It's getting annoying as hell. So I typically post some anti cat post in hopes of persuading some poor bastard who might have been talked into a cat by a gf or roommate. Trust me DO NOT GET A CAT!! Ever

[–]OnlyMiddleChild 1 point2 points ago

So the cats threw you out of your house. Wouldn't it be easier to get rid of the cats and not move out.

[–]dlos22 1 point2 points ago

They were my room mates cats. I moved in there reluctantly due to the cats, I know they would be an issue. I was promised I would never have to clean the litter box and that the place would be vacuumed once a week by my room mate and I could do it once a week also if the cat hair became too much of an issue. Well like most cat people, was not true to her word and I ended up doing ALL the house work. In the 4-5 months I was there she vacuumed 2 times. And did dishes 2 times and the litter box 4 times. That's it!!!

It was nasty, such a beautiful house it's a shame she had those nasty animals.

[–]OnlyMiddleChild 0 points1 point ago

OK, I just didn't realise they weren't your cats or your house. Sorry you had to move out.

[–]dlos22 -1 points0 points ago
