At first I wasn't sure what this was all about but then I translated the video description and it all makes sense now.

Jump, is not the only cat overtake. Image processing and image quality has been up only a tiny bit of it was posted to smile.

For the lazy: The most badass part of the video, the .gif portion, with appropriate MI music to accompany it.

How times many do we have to speak when says we, "Jumping ability of the cat is not outrageous distortion."

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points ago

I'd say the more impressive feat is the jump using the wall at 0:47...

[–]meltshake 13 points14 points ago

[–]millidooms 1 point2 points ago

Really? You think using the wall is more impressive than without?

That's so damn high.

[–]danieljr1992 7 points8 points ago

This reminds me of one time when I was 6 years old and my mother left me at a scout camp with people I didn't know. I spent the entire time miserable and frightened by the scary religious men making me pray before dinner. I was taught to use a knife and folk properly one night and put my knife and folk together on the plate to signify that I had finished my meal. It was raining outside. I slept on a bunk-bed and dreamed about being at home with my play-station. I forgot what I was going to say.

WTF?

[–]bael2188 41 points42 points ago

That cat is definitely a black man.

I just watched four and a half minutes of cat on YouTube. Am I an old woman now?

[–]TrollDruid 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for posting it!

[–]KimboSpice 59 points60 points ago

I like how you can see the eyes remain focused on the target all the way through

[–]couragewerewolf 29 points30 points ago

eye of the (mini) tiger

[–]bishman 11 points12 points ago

Its interesting you should say that because this cat appears to be a Bengal, which is a breed that originated from breeding a domestic cat with an Asian Leopard Cat. Here is another video of a Bengal jumping.

[–]BasicDesignAdvice 1 point2 points ago

that and right after you can see the whole body wiggle a few times as the cat makes mid air adjustments to land on its feet.

[–]NathanArizona 83 points84 points ago

That was the coolest cat thing i've seen for minutes.

[–]pauca 50 points51 points ago

I just can't stop laughing! Thanks

[–]mexipimpin 10 points11 points ago

Once I stopped laughing, I started up again because I was fixated on his rear paws. You can see the "oh shit" in his feet as soon as he pushes off!

[–]pauca 1 point2 points ago

exactly the same for me

[–]Special_Redditor 20 points21 points ago

Pretty sure that cat died...

IS CAT DEATH A JOKE TO YOU, PAUCA!?

[–]AmIAManOrAMuppet 37 points38 points ago

No, the wood-chipper at the bottom broke its fall.

[–]birdnerd 1 point2 points ago

And I guess that was your kitty in the wood chippah...

[–]pandalin 27 points28 points ago

Actually if you watch the full video, the cat lands safely on a concrete landing directly underneath the window.

Now, don't let the fact that I just made that up stop you from believing it. It sure made me feel better.

[–]_wafflefries 23 points24 points ago

The cat definitely survived. Remember that gif of the cat jumping off the top of an electric/telephone pole? That cat was fine as well. Carl Sagan basically designed them to fall off stupid shit.

[–]jamessnow 4 points5 points ago

Translated by google translate:

Failure of diving escape from the veranda of the second floor Ran off after landing went in as was safe.

Sagat. I love how when the cat jumps it has his/her arms in and then extends when it wants to strike.

[–]valionis 12 points13 points ago

[–]malmad 43 points44 points ago

I have to admit I'm more of a dog person. But I cannot deny the total awesomeness of the dexterity and physical abilities of cats.

They're just insanely amazing.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 18 points19 points ago

My dog would just derp for a few seconds and rest his head on my lap and beg me to get it for him.

[–]theghostofme 21 points22 points ago

"Hey. Get it for me. HEY! HEY! HEY! I love you. Get the toy for me."

[–]Victory33 1 point2 points ago

Shit....my dog jumps over my 6 foot privacy fence. Gets his head and front legs over then pulls his body over...all in the pursuit of catching some birds.

[–]DJBJ 1 point2 points ago

Cats are all about saving energy. My friends dog will jump down from one couch and jump on the other, and if he doesn't get up all the way he'll keep jumping/climbing till he gets up. My cat though, she'll go to the arm of one couch, sit there for a second measuring up the distance and make one leap. Cats are lazy but they are lazy in the way lazy but brilliant kind of way. They can do cool things, they just don't want to.

[–]TheBfrog86 23 points24 points ago

Love the facial expression........." -_- "

[–]noam_thwompsky 1 point2 points ago

I wish there was a way to take the shot of its facial expression and put a "Fuck Yeah" beneath or around it... If only there was some """program""" that allowed us to edit digital media....

[–]McDeau 1 point2 points ago

Just another reason why you should all be scared when cats start taking control of the owners, how are you going to escape that sorta ninja shit?

[–]VOICE_OF_REASONING 1 point2 points ago

One day I was doing the dishes and a droplet of water came up at my face like that, and then fell back down. I couldn't believe it. It may sound kind of dumb, but its not everyday something like that happens!
