More likely its the chicks in the nest that bird was protecting that died shortly after the events depicted that regreted it.

Thanks Mr. Buzz Killington. What do you do for an encore, kick puppies in front of small children while popping their balloons? How dare you? Just who do you think you are, bringing your logic, and reason here? These comments are for outdated memes, overused gifs and terrible puns.

It must be fun to be able to jump up several times your body length in the air. Landing would be problematic for us non-cats, though.

[–]legacy5k 14 points15 points ago

I love the way the cat basically exerts a huge amount of force to get off the ground, but once he is airborne he just lets his body relax and cruises upward like a rocket. The slow motion makes it just awesome to watch.

[–]whatwouldscoobydo 183 points184 points ago

At First I thought that bird was being an asshole to the cat, and the cat "taught the bird a lesson". Then it occurred to me the cat was probably going towards the bird's babies, so the bird tried to lure the cat away. Now I am sad.

edit:Yeah lets just assume all birds are assholes instead

[–]timmoose1 641 points642 points ago

That could be the case, but it was a mockingbird, and they tend to just be assholes.

[–]sirmuskrat 339 points340 points ago

This is true. I remember a mockingbird constantly divebombed my friend on the way back from school. At first we thought it was just in protective mode because my friend wandered too close to its nest full of hatchlings. But then a season later the attacks continued, but this time by the mockingbird along with its army of newly airborne children.

Typical example of assholes raising assholes.

[–]Attempt12 56 points57 points ago

well this one vastly underestimated anti gravity cat.

[–]SoloWing1 0 points1 point ago

Gravity Cat is not amused.

[–]NoNeedForAName 140 points141 points ago

I regularly see them chasing the squirrels in my yard. The squirrels have no reason to bother the mockingbirds, and stick to the trees and the ground, while most of my mockingbirds live in my bushes.

Some birds just want to watch the squirrels burn.

[–]lotsoluck 58 points59 points ago

Squirrels eat bird eggs.

[–]NoNeedForAName 14 points15 points ago

Interesting. I just googled it and apparently they do sometimes eat bird eggs. I've still never seen mine bothering the birds. My squirrels seem to stick to the pecan trees.

I might feel sympathy for your friend, if he weren't a green pig.

[–]OfRiceAndHen 6 points7 points ago

There's usually a mockingbird that takes residence somewhere near my house every summer. They are fairly territorial birds with a decent size territory. I often see it flying to various places like mailboxes and house roofs to patrol its territory.

[–]Taatero 3 points4 points ago

There's this little island, more of a large rock actually, like fifty meters from the river bank where our summer cottage is located. Now, to be able to have a boat access to the river, we need to keep the coast clear of weeds and such. We do this by fixing a giant underwater chainsaw on the side of the boat. The problem is that the seagulls on the island get very pissed of if someone dares to go close. There are no nests there. They are just divebombing assholes. Solution: one man on the rudder and three armed with heavy supersoakers. They quickly learned not to fuck with us.

[–]goofball_jones 34 points35 points ago

Was it a mockingbird or a bluejay?

Growing up on a farm, we had lots of barn cats and the only thing they really feared were bluejays. If you think mockingbirds are assholes, times that about 10 and you have yourself a bluejay.

[–]Light-of-Aiur 25 points26 points ago

There's a hawk that likes to chill out in the oak tree in my yard back home. His (her? Iono) favorite meal is a bluejay. Which is convenient, because our neighbour has a bird feeder that attracts a bunch of the buggers.

It's cool. You'll just be sitting outside, reading a book, and all of a sudden hear a soft "poof" noise, see a rain of bluejay feathers, and then the occasional feather as the hawk sits in the tree enjoying its catch.

[–]Zomgondo 8 points9 points ago

This story brought tears to my eyes. Those little blue bastards used to peck the shit out of my poor cat. JUSTICE IS SERVED.

[–]AcadianMan 10 points11 points ago

Hawks got nothing on crows though. I was golfing when I heard this hawk screaming. The kind of scream that just says "Their, murdering me!" two crows were chasing this hawk down and just wouldn't let up on him. I felt bad and I wanted to tee one up and crank some balls at them, but I'm lucky enough to hit a fairway let alone a damn bird.

[–]A_Stinking_Hobo 2 points3 points ago

What is it about crows?, where i live we are frequented by herons, these are largish fish eaters. i cant count the amount of times I've been sat in the garden, hearing screeches, looking up only to find a pair of crows ruining a herons day. explanation?

[–]AcadianMan 2 points3 points ago

Crows are extremely intelligent and they work together. Usually the hawks are trying to raid the crows nest of eggs, so the crows will gang up and attack.

[–]Gorillaz_Noodle 15 points16 points ago

I concur, bluejays are nasty.

[–]GluonJetPilot 9 points10 points ago

I used to get regularly attacked by bluejays walking to school. It got to be a ritual -- when approaching the bluejay tree, put our books over our heads and run like hell.

[–]srb846 11 points12 points ago

My vote is for Mockingbird. The white markings on their wings generally make it pretty easy to identify them.

[–]nixonrichard 9 points10 points ago

Looked kinda like a magpie to me. Magpies are giant assholes too. I once saw a group of magpies chase off a dog and then proceed to fight over who got to eat another magpie that was recently killed by a car.

[–]Darkman473 61 points62 points ago

well it's a sin to kill a mockingbird so the cat is fucked anyway, right?

[–]anchorsaway7 34 points35 points ago

It's only one life lost.

[–]CowFu 37 points38 points ago

How does that work with cats, do you just average your lives out at the end? 3 lives went to hell 6 went to heaven so cat ends up in heaven? Or does it go to heaven level 3 because it was better than the 4/5 cat?

Can I get an animal priest in here for an AMA?

[–]swicken 64 points65 points ago

Animal priest here. All dogs go to heaven, all cats go to hell. Humans may love them but in the animal kingdom they are regarded as some of the most evil creatures in existence.

[–]handonbroward 11 points12 points ago

[–]Time_for_Stories 28 points29 points ago

It has been foretold that the coming of the Cat Kingdom will herald a new age. The sky shall split open and catnip shall rain upon this Earth.

[–]horsesemen 19 points20 points ago

Can everyone please be kind of careful here? There's been one too many religions that started out as gags already. It doesn't take long for some idiot to take it seriously and then suddenly you don't hear from Katie Holmes for 5 years.

[–]MikeyToo 15 points16 points ago

Holly: Morning, Dave. I've finished your translation.

Lister: Who's Cloister? Is it me?

Holly: Yes, Dave. The cats have made you their God.

Lister: Hey! Working class kid makes good!

Holly: Your plan to buy a farm on Fiji and open up a hot dog and doughnut diner has become their image of heaven.

Lister: What?

[Holly displays a picture from the Holy Book, showing the noble, biblical, sort-of-Lister standing on a mountaintop, reading a scroll to the black cat. Holly reads from the book in voice-over.]

Holly: And Cloister spake,Lo, I shall lead you to Fyushal, and there we shall open a temple of food, wherein shall be sausages and doughnuts and all manner of bountiful things.''

[The picture changes to one showing the pseudo-Lister standing in front of a sausage and doughnut cart on a beach, with palm trees.]

Holly: ``Yea, even individual sachets of mustard. And those who serve shall have hats of great majesty, yea, though they be made of coloured cardboard and have humorous arrows through the top.''

Lister: Does it say what happened to the rest of the cats?

Holly: Holy wars. There were thousands of years of fighting, Dave, between the two factions.

Lister: What two factions?

Holly: Well, the ones who believed the hats should be red, and the ones who believed the hats should be blue.

[Another picture, showing the holy wars. It looks like a scene from the Bayeaux Tapestry. Incidentally, the artist stuffed it up -- both sides are wearing red hats!]

Lister: Do you mean they had a war over whether the doughnut diner hats were red or blue?

Holly: Yeah. Most of them were killed fighting about that. It's daft really, innit?

Lister: You're not kidding. They were supposed to be green.

[A corridor. Lister is walking along.]

Lister: Go on, Hol.

Holly: Well, finally they called a truce, and built two arks and left Red Dwarf in search of Fyushal.

Lister: But there's no such place as Fyushal. It's Fiji. I mean, how are they supposed to find it?

Holly: And Cloister gave to Frankenstein the sacred writing, saying, Those who have wisdom will know its meaning.' And it was written thus: `Seven socks, one shirt--''

Lister: That's my laundry list! I lined the cat's basket with me laundry list!

Holly: The Blue Hats thought it was a star chart leading to the promised land.

Lister: Well it wasn't, it was my dirty washing.

[Lister and Rimmer's cabin. Lister enters.]

Lister: What happened next, Hol?

Holly: `And the ark that left first followed the sacred signs, and lo, they flew straight into an asteroid.'

[Another picture. This one shows red Dwarf in space, with two arks (they look like boats with rocket engines stuck on the back) leaving it in different directions.]

Holly: `And the righteous in the second ark flew ever onward, knowing they were indeed righteous.'

Lister: This is terrible. Holy wars. Killing. They're just using religion as an excuse to be extremely crappy to each other.

Toaster: So what else is new?

[–]daniel_panther 1 point2 points ago

And here we have the stately mockingbird: nature's little assholes.

[–]Indieindie85 32 points33 points ago

It's called mobbing. It's the result of a predator being in your territory, and I don't think it necessarily means that offspring are close, though it can.

[–]czarchastic 7 points8 points ago

I lived in a common area where someone had a mangy outdoor cat. That thing would just lay in the grass and two birds would divebomb it all day. Birds are assholes.

[–]MickiFreeIsNotAGirl 12 points13 points ago

Imagine a new species is invented. This new species kills your friends, family members, and admittedly, your enemies too. But it does so relentlessly, your entire life. It tries to kill you too. Now imagine seeing one of these species near you.
I'd be pretty pissed too.

[–]Umsakis 10 points11 points ago

So you'd go and start a fight with your number one predator?

[–]SgtOsiris 28 points29 points ago

Arnold did.

[–]BrotherSeamus 5 points6 points ago

Arnold didn't start the fight. He finished it.

[–]MickiFreeIsNotAGirl 5 points6 points ago

If I could fly and he couldn't, yeah. I'd chirp (literally) him all day.

[–]gguy123 17 points18 points ago

Mockingbirds will do this any animal.. sometimes their nest is nearby and viewable, and sometimes I think they're paranoid about their territory PERIOD. I've literally been physically attacked by mockingbird.. and they do it with your back turned.

[–]billyfalconer 23 points24 points ago

The cat is just eating grass. Also, mockingbirds build their nests pretty high up, usually in trees, and the cat wasn't going up any trees or bushes.

[–]HugeNJapan 6 points7 points ago

The Bird might of also been collecting the fur for the nest.

[–]JamersonRosenburg 74 points75 points ago

You can see the cat spinning its tail like a helicopter's propeller. Give evolution a few thousand years, and you'll see cats will the fully fledged ability to fly using their tails

[–]Gorillaz_Noodle 38 points39 points ago

I'm not sure that's how evolution works...

[–]Time_for_Stories 81 points82 points ago

Shut up you, cat does what cat wants.

[–]Jetboy01 22 points23 points ago

It's not how evolution works, but it is how cats work.

[–]overwhiteflies 10 points11 points ago

this cat would not have caught that bird without his tail propeller technique, it clearly gives him an evolutionary advantage over other cats.

[–]dziban303 29 points30 points ago

This was made even funnier in the original video by the cameraman saying

"Whoa, he caught it, WOOOOOOOOW!"

[–]SOncredible 17 points18 points ago

10/10 baked

[–]galile0 8 points9 points ago

At around 00:57 when the cat starts darting its head around he's like, "Anybody else? ANYBODY ELSE WANNA FUCK WITH THIS?!"

I wish gifs/jpgs posts were automatically run through Karma Decay and if a picture has more than 5 reposts your reddit account automatically gets deleted. This would encourage more original content.

The only reason why that bird was attacking the cat is because it's nest was in that tree and the cat smelled/listened to the chicks. Poor thing gave it's life to save its babies, which chances are later died of famine.

"sad". Right. Animals eating animals is now "sad". Grow up.

[–]zaidka 15 points16 points ago

Just because it's natural doesn't make it not sad.

[–]DiscoPopStar -4 points-3 points ago

This is why, for me, cats are forever better than dogs (you, of course, may have a different (wrong) opinion). That cuddly purring ball of fur? One of nature's most effective killing machines. A pinnacle of evolution.

[–]Irrepressible87 47 points48 points ago

A pinnacle of evolution... that is easily confounded by a paper bag, and can be deterred from prey by a squirt bottle.

[–]Surprise_Buttsecks 9 points10 points ago

But they get all the upvotes. They're Nature's perfect karma machines.

I love cats for this reason. They're fun sized jungle cats. They're small enough that when they freak out while you're petting them instead of taking your arm, face, and life, they just leave a few scratches. But they can still hunt like champs.

It's funny because that mother bird died protecting her chicks.

Fuck you .gif I'm a .jpg!

Clearly you can see the cat rotate its tail like a helicopter rotor to propel itself in the air. No magic here, just physics. Move along folks.

Reminds me of the time I saw a stray cat running across the parking lot of my complex with a bird in its mouth.. Now I know how he got..

it's like he uses his tail to fly!

It's great to have a tail, I want one.

It's like the cat has a tanooki mario suit... flapping his tail to get lift.

[–]BlueMunky -1 points0 points ago

How in the hell does the cat do that? He's not even in a crouched position. I really think the tail moved him through the air, that or the bird lifted the cat.

Holly shit it's like he fucking double jumped.

It looks like he trained at the Raccoon Mario School of Aeronautics.

that bird was asking for it.

Oh a real life downvote! Karma in action.

[–]hungoverlord 0 points1 point ago

i'm really curious as to why the bird is pestering this cat, and whether or not the bird is capable of finding it "funny" on any level.

DID IT JUST DOUBLE-JUMPED?
