One of the best uses of this gif I've ever seen.

[–]coolmandan03 20 points21 points ago

It's as though he turns to the camera to say softly, "what the Fuck is his problem?"

[–]Baz85 7 points8 points ago

Looked like doc brown.

[–]kadmylos 9 points10 points ago

That cat must be declawed. It feels funny when they do that.

[–]davie18 13 points14 points ago

Or maybe it just didn't extend it's claws?

I don't have a cat, but I've seen people say before that cats actually treat kids/babies with care and only ever pat them to tell them to get away, instead of using their claws.

[–]ajw827 10 points11 points ago

This is true. My cat is not declawed and used to "hit" me when he want me to move out of his way or slide over on the bed.

He would meow, and if I didn't move after a while, just start smacking me on my head. Never scratched me.

[–]Kilmir 0 points1 point ago

They're quite aware about their nails. My cat in the morning wakes me up by putting a claw on my cheeck and then very slowly extends the nails. Never draws blood, but it feels like he might putting me wide awake without fail.

[–]chriswu 4 points5 points ago

If it is declawed, it might explain why it is so f-ing grumpy. Declawed cats have eternal sad faces.

[–]JLContessa 1 point2 points ago

Bullcrap. I’ve had declawed cats my entire life, and they’re all happy, active and give no fucks. I’ve known WAY grumpier clawed cats.

[–]Tovora 0 points1 point ago

Well of course. When your cat puts it's paw on your hand, it's cute. When my cat puts it's paw on my hand, it's fucking painful because she's trying to scratch me.

[–]Paper_Champ 0 points1 point ago

reminds me a lot of Craig Ferguson.

[–]mithrasinvictus -1 points0 points ago

The parents lack of reaction is worrying.

[–]nervousbreakdown19 -3 points-2 points ago

I came here to say this. "Lets film the baby getting attacked by the cat, what could happen? LOL America's funniest videos!"

Poor little guy.

[–]ZenaLundgren 2 points3 points ago

Oh silly voice of reason, don't you know cats are regarded way higher than human babies here at Reddit?

[–]nervousbreakdown19 3 points4 points ago

Meow?

[–]7Aero7 2 points3 points ago

Your majesty.

[–]nervousbreakdown19 0 points1 point ago

LOL. My "defend that child" post gets -2... my "Meow" post gets +5.

That gave me the giggles.

You are a god. I have looked for this, but never been able to find it again. It's the one gif that gets funnier the longer I watch it.

This was the very first gif I ever posted on Myspace.

[–]I_DRINK_PERIOD_BLOOD 11 points12 points ago

I feel like we've seen a lot of cats being mean to toddler gifs recently.

[–]xgcfreaker 62 points63 points ago

I feel like we've seen a lot of fucked-up usernames recently.

[–]TheQueefGoblin 8 points9 points ago

All caps help your username get noticed!

[–]infinitemonkeyrage 2 points3 points ago

whereas lowercase letters help you build up an infinite supply of shit to fling at other redditors without anyone noticing what you're up- oh fuck, I gave the game away.

[–]Anne_Frank_Dildo 2 points3 points ago

What seems to be the problem here, sir?

[–]xgcfreaker -3 points-2 points ago

These users jokes are a gas, anne frankly I've had enough of them.

[–]GODFATHER_OF_REDDIT 0 points1 point ago*

I've seen multiple threads with andrewsmith1986, karmanaut, etc. bitching about people saying "I see you everywhere!"

They spend (waste?) countless hours per week commenting in /new and /top/?t=hour.. who cares? What's the point in repeatedly pointing out to them that they are so often seen in the comment threads on this website? And if there is merit in that, why be surprised that they find it annoying after having it said to them for the 1000th time?

[–]richard_photograph -1 points0 points ago

[–]applejade 1 point2 points ago

mmm Not gonna cry. mmm Not gonna cry.

[–]fancy-chips 10 points11 points ago

poor cat was probably declawed.

[–]Doilyn 2 points3 points ago

Not unlikely, but not definite. When I was growing up, our cats would almost always keep their claws retracted with the kids. I'm not sure why, maybe they can tell they are the master's offspring, not to be harmed? I don't know, but it was great.

[–]xdonutx 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, otherwise a cat that mad would have destroyed that kid. My friend has a cat just like it (including declawed paws) who has done the exact same thing to my face. It's like a nice little cat-paw massage in the head.

[–]Feathrende 2 points3 points ago

I've owned a lot of cats and had several family members own cats as well. And I can say this with the utmost sincerity, if the cat is suitable for adoption it will not claw a child unless the child were doing it serious harm (Poke eyes, punching too hard). And even then it'd probably just be a small slash.

[–]singlehopper 4 points5 points ago

My cat wears soft claws.

[–]TheSystem_IsDown 11 points12 points ago

[–]PuppyBreath -1 points0 points ago

Woman. Thanks.

[–]xdonutx 0 points1 point ago

I just looked those up, and by gosh, that's genius! Cat gets to keep its claws, you get to keep your limbs unbloody. Win-win.

[–]dangerjoe 4 points5 points ago

Maybe it was just being nice.

[–]dsfox 7 points8 points ago

Very likely. Cats, like dogs, are genetically designed to live with humans. That's why there are a billion of them, and only about eight tigers.

[–]CheeseAttack 2 points3 points ago

that tiger estimate is a bit high

[–]chriswu 7 points8 points ago

Declawing is so barbaric. If you can't handle a cat with claws, then don't get a fucking cat.

[–]airmandan 7 points8 points ago

My cat's former owner declawed him. I'm not a fan of the procedure and would never do it myself, but damn if the results aren't convenient.

[–]imfm 0 points1 point ago

....also bite-y. I've never had a declawed cat, but some of my friends do, and they all bite (the cats, not my friends).

[–]airmandan 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, my cat is indeed a chomper. He doesn't bite hard enough to cause actual damage, but it's still unpleasant for people who aren't expecting that behavior from him.

[–]whatwasmynick 1 point2 points ago

Ive never owned a cat. What's horrible about declawing?

[–]Crabalicious 1 point2 points ago

Declawing is a surgical procedure that removes a part of the cat's toe that it walks on - the claw is not like a toenail (although it can be trimmed like one). Declawing cats is illegal in lots of countries since it's considered extremely inhumane.

Technical article about what's involved: http://www.declawing.com/htmls/declawing.htm

List of countries where it's illegal to declaw a cat except in exceptional circumstances: http://www.declawing.com/htmls/outlawed.htm

[–]whatwasmynick 1 point2 points ago

Ahhh, I just assumed it was like a toenail. Is there some compromise for people who have a newborn and want to protect it from the cat's claws, like clipping/filing, or must they simply keep the cat away from the child?

[–]Crabalicious 1 point2 points ago

Some people swear by Soft Paws: www.softpaws.com. They're like little gloves for the claws.

It's easy for me to say because I only have cats and no kids, but personally I either wouldn't leave the cat and child alone together, or I'd choose to have one and not the other. I wouldn't choose an elective surgery that's widely considered inhumane to suit my convenience. I know that sounds very condescending, but I grew up with cats that had claws and I never lost an eye, and where I live, declawing is illegal and I don't know anyone that lost an eye.

I certainly wouldn't stand there videoing an encounter like the parent did here.

[–]chriswu 0 points1 point ago

You can't extract just the claws, so declawing involves removing part of the cat's toes up to the first knuckle. This effects their balance and ability to defend themselves.

http://www.declawing.com/

[–]Manial 3 points4 points ago

It's possible that the cat simply didn't extend its claws as a warning. But sadly you're probably right.

[–]Nailpolished 0 points1 point ago

Looks like it's not using claws, most cats recognize that it's a small child and they don't have to get aggressive. He's just telling the baby to go away without hurting it.

[–]DiscountDoubleChoke -5 points-4 points ago

cats are dumb. this would never happen.

[–]bang_Noir 15 points16 points ago

My aunts cat has all of her very long, super fucking sharp claws, and I have the scars to prove it. My son punched her when he was about two and she slapped the shit out of him, no claws extended so it could have happened.

[–]JimmyJamesincorp 5 points6 points ago

Yes it can. My cat did this to me when she was playing. RIP Sophie :(

[–]pushingHemp 0 points1 point ago

I have owned cats for 15 years and they can certainly choose when to claw. One of mine knew how much he could use his claws without hurting you. It took him several years to learn but eventually was very gentle with them.

[–]str8slash12 1 point2 points ago

Or, it's claws were retracted.

[–]Mrbananpants64 0 points1 point ago

It's not very effective...

[–]Jrckel 2 points3 points ago

Those swings looked more like slaps, not swipes, so I would hazard a guess that it wasn't.

[–]brynet -3 points-2 points ago

People who declaw cats are cruel.

[–]Lots42 2 points3 points ago

Why do you think the cat is declawed? I've been smacked with a paw with the claws retracted.

[–]brynet -3 points-2 points ago

This was not the case. Whomever mutilated this poor animal disrupted natural selection.

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

How do you know the cat in question was declawed?

[–]CherenkovBlue 0 points1 point ago

because its the internet, cmon, you can trust em

[–]doctorcrass 0 points1 point ago

natural selection was already ended when we started feeding and selectively breeding the cats in the first place.

I meant, that kid went unscathed. That's just not acceptable.

for good reason, he could have blinded or scared that child.

[–]Lots42 -1 points0 points ago

Why do you think the cat is declawed?

[–]fishyman 1 point2 points ago

Because the kid didn't get clawed in the face?

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

Am I being pranked here somehow? Cat claws are RETRACTABLE.

I feel like I'm going insane.

[–]fishyman 0 points1 point ago

Cats don't bat at things like that with their claws retracted.

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

Okay, I'm definitely being screwed with here.

[–]Nailpolished 0 points1 point ago

Cats usually know they don't have to get too aggressive with kids, he's batting the kid with claws withdrawn to make him go away. Also the way the cat turns away at the end shows he's unfomfortable but not angry.

[–]trakam 1 point2 points ago

Because it has no claws

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

How do you know? Claws are -retractable-.
