Hey that cat didn't land on its feet! Are we sure it's a cat?

[–]jzr1991 0 points1 point ago

Haha same, I imagine the exchange was similar to shooting a big stunt in a movie.

"is that it? did we get the shot? are we done? good"

How to deactivate a cat

[–]Wanderlustfull 23 points24 points ago

I laughed unreasonably hard at this. Exactly what I needed after that thread about the boy with the dead eyes and the murdering.

[–]corpsefireNL 13 points14 points ago

wait, what?

[–]Wanderlustfull 10 points11 points ago*

You genuinely do not want to know. I'm relatively desensitized to the internet and all it has to offer, but even I ended up feeling ill after that wiki expedition.

EDIT: Because apparently people are psychologically masochistic:

Original thread.

Thing that made me sad in my head:

you should link to this too, as it gives information without giving an emotional scar. (urban dictionary)

[–]bullfightr 0 points1 point ago

oh, the dead eyes, I did not want to read about that again today.

[–]I_r_redditmans 27 points28 points ago

Mother cats, including big cats, carry their young by using their mouths to grab the nape of the neck, at which point the kitties just go limp and go along for the ride. This is probably the same effect.

[–]PhillipPriddy 2 points3 points ago

i am SO going to use this next time my cat wallows in something filthy...SHE STINKS SO MUCH!!!

[–]corpsefireNL 5 points6 points ago*

Be careful, I may be mistaken but it can be harmful to adult cats, kittens are meant to be picked up by the scruff by their parents, but once they get older the only real pressure the scruff is meant to take is biting during mating.

Follow up: It's not harmful per se if you're just grabbing them by the scruff to hold them down to deliver medicine or bathing, but be careful about picking them up. If you pick them up at the wrong angle or while holding the wrong part of the neck without supporting the rest of its body that could be painful, and be sure to keep in mind that just because it's still does not mean it's comfortable.

[–]PhillipPriddy 2 points3 points ago

she's about three or four months old...is that too young??

[–]corpsefireNL 2 points3 points ago

Nah, I looked into it because I thought it was a good idea for bathing my own cats. I edited accordingly :)

[–]mr_burnzz 3 points4 points ago

The trick to scruffing them properly is to scruff them using all five fingers. The entire thumb and the base of it is used so that the other four fingers can clamp down on it. Don't use just the finger tips, its almost the entire upper part of those four fingers. My cats are 8-9 months and I can still scruff them perfectly fine. However, that trick with the paper clip clamp I think may be harmful. They have a lot of power and pressure. May pinch them too hard.

[–]corpsefireNL 4 points5 points ago

Indeed, this is what I meant originally when I said it may be harmful, those damn clamps.

[–]iamiamwhoami 0 points1 point ago

This is a pretty good trick for cutting their nails.

[–]BaconChapstick -4 points-3 points ago

I want to do this to my dog, and then put him in silly poses so everyone on the internet thinks my poor poor Tater Tot is a fool!

[–]corpsefireNL 23 points24 points ago

I don't think scruff paralysis (I just made that term up :D) works on dogs, they just look at you like "I don't know what you are doing but it's okay because I love you."

[–]Thirdyearfreshmen 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for word make-upping :D

[–]corpsefireNL 19 points20 points ago*

For those wondering about the board like object

It would appear that the cat is hitting its head on a wooden board but it's much more likely to be a corrugated cardboard scratching board, the giveaway is the texture on the side here. These things are pretty soft in relative terms, as soft as cardboard can be, so I'd only be concerned if it had hit its head on a corner.

[–]dreamawake 6 points7 points ago

phew

[–]Theditor 3 points4 points ago*

Actually it's the end of the board that makes me convinced it's a wooden board. The side facing the kitty woudl be darker too, even with this crappy resolution. The end of a 2x4 is rough, so the shadows make sense. If it were cardboard, you'd see the darker color on more than the end.

Also physics. The air from a wafting down pillow would probably knock over that light of cardboard.

I could very well be wrong though.

Actually quite good!

[–]MVolta 0 points1 point ago

sooooooo shitty, it's nothing like the original, which, I might add moved.

but for real though quite good

[–]thelazydeveloper 11 points12 points ago

Best thing about this is when the cat turns its head to look at the camera, confused as to how the situation suddenly became so comfortable

[–]Sir_Meowsalot 0 points1 point ago

That's how I feel, especially when I fall asleep while reading in bed and suddenly find myself tucked in with the book on the sidetable. Nobody lives with me...either I have a very caring Ghost in my house or a very nice stalker.

Rather than make the obligatory repost comment, I'm going to say I'm just now realizing that kitty must of hit that block of wood pretty hard :|

[–]Gobias_Industries 35 points36 points ago

Not a block of wood, it's a cardboard scratching block.

[–]Theditor -1 points0 points ago*

Disregard what was previously here.

In conclusion, that is a lucky cat.

[–]Gobias_Industries 2 points3 points ago*

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's a cat scratching block sort of like this one I just took a picture of. Here's a picture of it standing on end. You can compare it to a still from the gif. I think any reasonable person would agree they're likely the same thing.

As well, while they're light, they're not that light. I just dropped a pillow by the one here and it didn't really move.

Additionally, I'd argue that I can't really think of a reason why someone would have a block of wood standing up like that in their living room. However, the scratching block makes a lot more sense considering that they have a cat and have clearly bought it other toys.

In conclusion, that is a lucky cat because its owners buy it things and play with it.

[–]Theditor 0 points1 point ago

bows to logic

[–]Varnn 6 points7 points ago

My asshole cat hits his head on our wall on his own every day when he tried to lie down. From what I've seen cats have a pretty durable head.

[–]RalphiesBoogers 3 points4 points ago

This is my only thought every time I see it.

[–]quailman03 6 points7 points ago

First time I saw that I thought it was a bag of cement and was horrified.

[–]lookieausername 1 point2 points ago

I don't know if you know this or not but cats have very hard skulls.

[–]ih8uall 2 points3 points ago

I wish someone would post the video source of this instead.

This is the oldest cat GIF in the world.

[–]eambutu 3 points4 points ago

I like how the cat looks around after he's been immobilized by the bag.

[–]DoctorPimpslap 3 points4 points ago

For your grand repost I allot you 1 downvote.

[–]Tanie 0 points1 point ago

Something very similar happened a kitten of mine when I was growing up and it injured its neck. Couldn't eat anymore after that.
