As amusing as the gif is (as well as old), this is correct. Cute little buggers.

Did they really die? How the fuck did they die?

[–]Peachy88 46 points47 points ago

They had a rare disease that caused their bodies to seize after ANY noise such as a cough or a car driving by. Eventually their hearts gave out.

Came for cuteness. Left incredibly depressed.

Poor kitties.

If the sound is the problem then couldn't they have their eardrums surgically removed to prevent any noise? There is a cure!

[–]jigs_up 9 points10 points ago

Anything that frightens them, not just sound

This is seen in the gif. Just as the hand was petting it on the head, it froze up.

The same disease that the "fainting goats" had.

It's called petrificus totalus.

EDIT: This is the last time I believe what YouTube says.

That's awful :( If it was brought on by something as quiet as a cough they should have been put to sleep. Much better than letting them suffer like that.

They look so healthy.

[–]SgtBanana 2 points3 points ago

Wish they could find a cure for this. It's rare, but not that rare. I've seen videos of several cats who were affected by this, and maybe even a dog.

Came here to say this. I was actually just talking about this last week. It breaks your heart.

[–]mrpotatoes 14 points15 points ago

I always thought that this was hilarious until I found out that they were sick. Then it was far less funny :(

[–]Vole85 18 points19 points ago

This is what's happening if anyone cares

Youtube "Fainting goats" for more 'fun'.

Right. It's actually a breed. They are easier to catch.

I cried so much watching this. I'm a 25 year old man.

Who the hell is cutting onions! It really doesn't help that my cat has the same name...

Kinda cute, but a lot of these animals get put down . . .
