Hedgehog's spikes aren't just intended for harm

CrazyBunnyLady · 2012-10-06T17:15:04+00:00

I bought these plastic spike pads that claimed they would keep cats out of my garden (sandy soil = way too much cat poop). I put the out only to find the cats enjoyed rubbing against them so they actually increased cat traffic to my yard. I would be sitting outside and a cat would walk up, sit down beside the spike pad, and then start running his/her paws over the spikes to get a little massage.

FOOL! YOU HAVE FALLEN DIRECTLY INTO MY SPIKEY TRAP! RUB YOUR FACE ON THE INSTRUMENT OF YOUR DESTRUCTIIIOOONNNNN!

Rotrig · 2012-10-06T17:00:08+00:00

BRACE FOR IMPACT, ITS RAMMING AGAIN!

Hedgehogs4Me · 2012-10-06T18:44:43+00:00

God dammit, I can never think of what to say when my name's relevant.

EDIT: This gif rubs me the right way.

Anybody has link to original video?

silver_pear · 2012-10-06T16:15:50+00:00

I feel like that is just a more subtle version of one of these.

I could be wrong, just get the feeling a hedgehog would run away/hurt the cat

enneads169 · 2012-10-06T16:19:21+00:00

feels good man

Repost with a worse title. Good work.

TheNitwon · 2012-10-06T15:47:43+00:00

Poor hedgie. They never have their quills up like that unless they're scared.

tittyfister69 · 2012-10-06T17:23:07+00:00

God damn that adorable.

moetzen · 2012-10-06T16:37:37+00:00

Think this is a reel hedgehog, they aren't as sharp as they may look like, you can easily touch them. I carried a lot of em off the roads around here

yonthickie · 2012-10-06T18:14:21+00:00

Only just dawned on me that they are not native to the US. You do have racoons though and according to 101 Dalmations so does London. I have realised that it may be hard for all of us to remember that our own common wildlife is not the background to everyone's life. Except Australia's of course, even aussie's must see them as odd.

Seruz · 2012-10-06T17:00:30+00:00

They are intended for protection, nothing else.

screampuff · 2012-10-06T17:51:46+00:00

Better not let him near a porcupine.

gasteropod · 2012-10-06T17:08:43+00:00

My bloody dog brings home hedgehogs all the time. He will just be covered in blood and then drop a dead hedgehog at my feet.

It's actually rather adorable.

saki604 · 2012-10-06T17:49:01+00:00

this was so adorable I almost punched myself in the face.

jenniferinalaska · 2012-10-06T18:07:33+00:00

This is exactly what my cat would do! She does this to brushes and anything with sharp corners.

Jedditor · 2012-10-06T18:09:37+00:00

I need to punch a bear just to feel manly again. Damn you, sweet and adorable cat.

loldonthate · 2012-10-06T18:13:56+00:00

so itchy..must scratch

David3497 · 2012-10-06T18:14:52+00:00

Hes combing his hair

kraken_kitty · 2012-10-06T18:23:06+00:00

That poor hedgie is probably scared shitless D:

I hope s/he was placed back in their little house afterwards to just have a little quiet time . . .

VikingsVsPirates · 2012-10-06T18:33:23+00:00

that looks like it feels so good!

mackduck · 2012-10-06T18:37:09+00:00

spines don't put badgers off- or a strong cat- you just put your paws into the soft bit, pry open and eat from stonach to spine. Looks a bit liks a hollowed out hedgehog...

Deuceonyogoose · 2012-10-06T18:40:58+00:00

Itchy Kitty!!!!

kinguzumaki · 2012-10-06T18:42:07+00:00

"Oooooohhhh Goooooddd yeeess...! Mr. Hedgehog, don't EVEEEERRR chaaaange.....oooohhhhh yeeeaaahhhhh....!"

spanktravision · 2012-10-06T18:45:25+00:00

BETTER THAN SEX

Bulls729 · 2012-10-06T18:47:34+00:00

Clearly not an Australian Hedgehog.

RhinoDoom · 2012-10-06T18:52:03+00:00

I thought the cat was an otter at first. That would have brought the fun level up a few notches.

ilesal · 2012-10-06T18:52:15+00:00

Have you seen the ticks and fleas on a hedgehog? Now the cats gonna have them.

TheHerbalGerbil · 2012-10-06T18:53:01+00:00

Yeah OP, I saw that like three days ago on /r/videos too.

rdpulfer · 2012-10-06T18:54:19+00:00

The hedgehog is probably thinking, "Worst. Defense Mechanism. Ever."

argv_minus_one · 2012-10-06T18:55:08+00:00

Cat has made a new best friend.

neostead2000 · 2012-10-06T18:56:39+00:00

Christ, that cat has balls, hedgehog spines hurt sooo much

Metrollolsta · 2012-10-06T19:02:20+00:00

Being a owner of a hedgehog no other pet crosses on the same side of the street.(they keep their distance)

enamresu · 2012-10-06T19:04:21+00:00

Your cat now has fleas.

scrash · 2012-10-06T19:11:46+00:00

anyone have any more videos have cute hedgehogs? plis?

daveshow07 · 2012-10-06T19:15:39+00:00

That's not at all a real hedgehog. Threatened hedgehogs will lunge at a creature that insists on bothering them. Looks like a catnip filled cat toy.

schmeryn · 2012-10-06T19:17:22+00:00

Nature's round brush.

zelosdomingo · 2012-10-06T19:31:38+00:00

I always confuse hedgehogs with porcupines.

I imagine it would be much more unpleasant to rub your face on a porcupine.

horses_around · 2012-10-06T20:05:35+00:00

aw....... a perfect scratching post.

brianbot5000 · 2012-10-06T20:17:54+00:00

Can we repost this about 20 more times in the next few days? Thanks.

cuda123 · 2012-10-06T20:28:47+00:00

And like that, mittens suddenly got thousands of fleas

Darkhatred · 2012-10-06T20:28:57+00:00

awww for days

Azara1th · 2012-10-06T20:32:32+00:00

Defense mechanism: fail.

mrfluffleballz · 2012-10-06T20:44:19+00:00

Uuuuuuuuuh yeeeeeeaaaah baby. That's the stuff riiiiiiiiiight theeeere.

Icedrive · 2012-10-06T20:59:00+00:00

I was bitten by a hedgehog once. That hurts way more than touching its spikes, I can tell you that.

iamapagan · 2012-10-06T21:02:59+00:00

I don't know if this has been said yet but:

When a hedgehog is relaxed, as that one is, the 'spikes' are not sharp. It's basically like running your hand over a brush. When they roll up, the spikes stick up straight, and that's when they hurt.

babytaz777 · 2012-10-06T22:13:11+00:00

sort of the same feeling when you get a stubbly hair cut

SargentMcGreger · 2012-10-06T22:38:21+00:00

the hedgehog is not amused

ruski_brewski · 2012-10-06T22:54:02+00:00

Russian cats. Always.

hirudora · 2012-10-07T00:09:31+00:00

For some reason I expected it's quills to get even longer all of sudden

cydril · 2012-10-07T00:17:33+00:00

Cat: Feeels so gooodargfghkljhgsfg

Hedgehog: OH GOD OH GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE

SeriousMoad · 2012-10-07T00:49:43+00:00

Quills. The spines on a hedgehog are called quills.
