I always feel bad for that kitty - we picked up a stray with cerebellar hyperplasia, and that kitty was a lot like the one in the gif - unable to control its muscles very effectively, had trouble standing, no dexterity at all. Terribly sad :(

IIRC the description on the original video said they just got back from the vet and the cat had been given a sedative, it hadn't quite worn off yet so the cat was still a little out of it.
Edit: Maybe not, that's just what this person guessed

Have an upvote for research.

The cat jumped with a piece of paper under it's paws on a wood floor. The paper goes back and the cat doesn't move. Sorry about your pussy though.

no I think cowboy is right. the cats not on the paper that much, a normal cat that landed right side up would walk away from that easily, and cats don't leave the legs sticking out like that when they fall either.

Only saying this because my cat tried a very similar thing this weekend but with a pile of unstable boxes and the headboard of my bed.

The reason it landed upside down was that its claw got stuck on the bedding.

it lands belly down first then topples over, any normal cat would either walk away acting like it meant to do that or fall over, get up and walk away like it meant to do that. The cat in the gif is stuck in that akward leap posture.

Not it's not, look at it's paw, the paw gets stuck in the sheet, at the end of the gif you can see it using it's other paw to try to free itself. His head never makes contact with the ground because his paw keeps him upright, if his paw wasn't stuck his head would have definitely hit the ground.

Despite the fact that the claw is stuck, none of the rest of his body moved the way it should have anyway. The claw got snagged on the way down when he was already stiff.

Have another look at it. Cats do not jump at all like that, and the paper had little effect.

Pretty sure the video of this was posted months ago by the owner of that cat who said it had just gotten home from surgery and was still hopped up on drugs.

Repost, but I don't care because your title made me laugh harder than the first time I saw this.

This is sad. The cat is obviously sick and/or old... I'd hate to see this happen to my cat...

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

Actually, the owners probably just installed that hardwood flooring and the cat isn't use to jumping off it yet. At least that's what happen to my cats when we put new flooring in. I had to lift them up on to the counter until they got use to the new floor.

The game, "Red Light, Green Light." I don't think he's referencing the gum on MI.

Nice. I don't get off the internet too much these days. It does things... terrible things to my thought processes.
