I like the very end: "Oh, look. Ham."

You can just tell that this is the kind of cat that freaks outs, runs into furniture, and immediately tries to play it off like that didn't just happen.

In other words, the best kind of cat.

[–]oditogre 14 points15 points ago

Ohhhhhhhh.

I didn't get what was going on until reading this; didn't notice the ham.

[–]SirBenjamin 1 point2 points ago

I would mess with that cat all the time.

[–]wallplant 30 points31 points ago

Gotta have the video. The guys laugh is hilarious.

[–]Brokomo 7 points8 points ago

Yeah the laugh is the best part

[–]CrimsonEchoes 0 points1 point ago

[–]jpoblak 53 points54 points ago

I didn't notice that was ham at first. I thought that was the cats face.

[–]Sirspen 4 points5 points ago

I thought the same. I thought the ham just swooped by its face, which somehow imploded as a result.

[–]Drive207 -2 points-1 points ago

Haha me too

[–]FOR_SClENCE 15 points16 points ago

It does this because cats use their whiskers to judge whether or not they can fit into a given space. It's like an extension of their sense of touch, which they rely heavily on when moving around. So the ham pretty much made this cat think it was crammed into a tiny box.

And so it responds accordingly, flipping out in a restricted manner until it thinks the wall (ham) is closing in on it like it's the trash compactor on the Death Star. When he flips backward, it hits the ground, and only then does he realize that a piece of meat is anywhere near him.

[–]Norma5tacy 89 points90 points ago

God damn it. I love this gif. It's such an unrealistic and silly way for a cat to react to ham being slapped on it's face.

[–]Forever_Awkward 81 points82 points ago

It's actually a very realistic way for a cat to react. A cat's whiskers are really, really sensitive. Having something covering them up is a sensory overload, sort of like staring directly into stadium lights.

[–]Korberos 60 points61 points ago

It's also realistic in the sense that it's real... so it has to be realistic.

[–]Sirspen 9 points10 points ago

Nah, it's shopped. I can see the pixels.

[–]LaterGatorPlayer 2 points3 points ago

Nope, Chuck Testa.

[–]thebritface 1 point2 points ago

Zebra?

[–]Nightly1029 12 points13 points ago

Why did he throw ham at the cat in the first place? There are other ways to feed a cat. For example, regurgitation.

[–]Dresdin 5 points6 points ago

Kids, don't regurgitate on your cat.

[–]helloon 7 points8 points ago

Why am I reading this in the voice of the Daleks?

[–]goldlobster39 0 points1 point ago

Oh God that just made it so much better.

[–]BonusHam 139 points140 points ago

Never has my user name been more relevant!

[–]JAfball77 54 points55 points ago

You could have done better than that.

[–]digijin 9 points10 points ago

Its a pretty blatant karma grab, he could at least be subtle.

[–]theredlight 21 points22 points ago

Cry about it.

[–]digijin 2 points3 points ago

qq

[–]MaceonH 0 points1 point ago

Dude, less qq more ham. If we had more ham we wouldn't have lost Stables.

[–]satanscat 1 point2 points ago

Oh shit. Really? I appreciate you pointing out that. I would've never known, seriously. Your comment was groundbreaking.

[–]digijin 1 point2 points ago

I know, right? I've been studying this subject for a while and I'm just glad that I could have been of some help to the unenlightened masses.

[–]hamsalesman 31 points32 points ago

You. I like you.

[–]BeezAweez 0 points1 point ago

This guy

[–]hamsalesman 2 points3 points ago

Well thank you sir!

[–]DanHam117 0 points1 point ago

Are we having a party? Am I invited?

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 6 points7 points ago

for it to be relevant your comment has to have some content in it.. simply existing and pointing it out is just lazy

[–]weskokigen 0 points1 point ago

DM;GK

[–]weskokigen 0 points1 point ago

Except every other time this has been posted.

[–]clearlyclassy 5 points6 points ago

I have this weird thing about me that when I'm stressed out, whenever I see some totally random thing that's kind of (or very) funny, I'll start laughing. And then I'll keep laughing after I should have stopped, and then I'll start laughing at how much I'm laughing, and then I'll keep laughing some more, until eventually I collapse, sobbing in tears from the mirth. This .gif just gave me one of those little meltdowns, and now I feel a lot better about my midterms. Thank you.

[–]R3luctant[!] 10 points11 points ago

His cakeday is my cakeday too.

[–]BigBassBone 3 points4 points ago

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?

[–]marnyroad 1 point2 points ago

Did the exact same thing in my head.

[–]racattack[!] 11 points12 points ago

His cakeday, which is your cakeday, is also my cakeday!!

[–]ledgerdary_ 4 points5 points ago

[–]TheWhyteMaN -5 points-4 points ago

hahahhahah @ that gif

[–]Akuadarkwa 0 points1 point ago

I think at the end it should say reboot.

[–]Cripesamighty 5 points6 points ago

It's so weird to see a video shot by a friend turn up on reddit as a gif out of nowhere.

[–]Kreeker 12 points13 points ago

Liar, liar ham on fire

[–]matt01ss 0 points1 point ago

Cool isn't it. Coworker did a "matrix mouse" video where a mouse jumps around avoiding a snake, seen it a few times on reddit.

[–]crazyfingers619 5 points6 points ago

Happy cake day, here's a new favorite gif:

Only 3 times, that's well below average for such a quality .gif. I give him the benefit of the doubt.

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could hear the slappy noise of the ham hitting the kittys face.

I have never seen this before but it was great thank you

[–]Mannex 1 point2 points ago

The videos even better. Just because when he starts the guy says, "Oh it's on your face. "

[–]jmsplat -1 points0 points ago

[–]deek1618 -1 points0 points ago

Upvote for being funny; downvote for mentioning cakeday.

[–]MashedHair -1 points0 points ago

I like the part where cat

[–]robotlionprincess -1 points0 points ago

Reminds me of a haiku my friend wrote " cat up in a tree Hiding from his family Eating ham and cheese"

[–]Tyco747 -1 points0 points ago

I love this GIF. Plus my name is Tyco too. That's awesome!

[–]sniff3000 -1 points0 points ago

[–]Verus_Amicus -1 points0 points ago

They need a tripod for that potato.

...or just steadier hands.

[–]darderp -1 points0 points ago

cat.exe has stopped responding...

|close the program

|wait for the program to respond

[–]guns_of_navarone -1 points0 points ago

And then, after the ordeal is over, he's like "Aw man, I want dat ham, Imma eat dat ham".

[–]xxllamacornxx 0 points1 point ago

I don't think I've ever laughed this hard before. Oh the joys of being sleep deprived

[–]victoriatx 0 points1 point ago

oooh man, this gif made me crack up for 10 minutes. Thanks...

[–]idma 0 points1 point ago

same thing is done with lobster. They're so over come with ecstasy they don't know what to do withthemselves.

[–]electromonkey222 -1 points0 points ago

Oh my gosh that's so mean. He was looking up at him so cute and then he just throws a pice of ham in it's face. MEEEEAAANNN!!!!!!

[–]firehead316 0 points1 point ago

Thank you.

[–]dog_named_spaghetti 0 points1 point ago

Predictable, yet highly entertaining. Thank you Reddit for delivering exactly what I came here for, even though I'll never admit it. 10/10 would Reddit again.

[–]stardustx12 0 points1 point ago

Lmao. I almost spit my dinner out laughing at this. Damn funny.

[–]azgeogirl 0 points1 point ago

I have a new favorite gig. Been laughing with tears streaming down my face for about 5 minutes now.

Former favorite.

[–]tmeuze 0 points1 point ago

Guys, GUYS. This is a JPEG. And it's moving. How?!?!

Ahhhhhh hahahahah... My god...

OMG I keep watching it...it keeps getting funnier!

God this is good

[–]Burps_TOO_MUCH 0 points1 point ago

Definitely was not disappointed!

[–]notsurewhatiam -2 points-1 points ago

The fucking text is gay. Without it would be ten times funnier

[–]dbt4949 -3 points-2 points ago

When i first clicked the link I got a red X box and I thought that was funnier.

[–]ElectroClimax -3 points-2 points ago

That cat has epilepsy, the sudden shock of cold ham in its face brought on a seizure. Assholes.

[–]Beastage -4 points-3 points ago

Downvoted because of "cake day" being mentioned in the title. I have no idea why alluding to your cake day isn't against the intergalactic internet law.

[–]flamingbiskuet -5 points-4 points ago

Look like that ham went ham on him

[–]RetardedClownBoner69 -5 points-4 points ago

Tools are only upvoting this because it's your cake day. This is a .gif of a cat getting injured. Any other time it would be downvoted to hell. It sort of looks like the cat has "fainting goat syndrome."

[–]bleedgreen96 -1 points0 points ago

People who upvoted this are tools? How so? Also, please explain to me how this cat was "injured". I'm in the mood for the ramblings of a retard.

[–]Fagmotron -2 points-1 points ago

Why do retards reply? You look just as stupid as him, no wait, even more stupid.

[–]RetardedClownBoner69 -3 points-2 points ago

Don't feel like arguing. I just know it hurts when I stumble and hit my head on a wall.

[–]Dr_Medic345 -1 points0 points ago

...

I need to do this now.
