Really? He's biting it and giving the "bunny kick" which is intended to eviscerate his prey.

[–]Drawtaru 54 points55 points ago

When I was a baby, my mom found a kitten on the side of the road that had been nearly eviscerated by just such a bunny kick. They thought he was going to die, but he ended up surviving and lived a hearty 13 years with us. He was the sweetest, cutest, most gigantic, STUPIDEST cat I've ever had. Oh man... so many stories...

[–]DemonKing420 23 points24 points ago

Go on...

[–]Drawtaru 116 points117 points ago

Visualize a 20-pound orange fluffball running full-speed through the house with a Doritos bag on its head, slamming into everything while purring louder than a chainsaw.

[–]Godolin 57 points58 points ago

I did. Fucking worth it.

[–]Drawtaru 45 points46 points ago

Another of my favorite stories... This particular orange fluffball was a Main Coon cat named Bob the Blob (way before Monsters vs Aliens, btw) and we had another cat named Cleo. Cleo was a demonic demon tabby from demonland. Bob loved Cleo, and Cleo hated Bob. Bob liked to sleep under chairs, and Cleo would stand over him for HOURS and just watch him sleep, and the instant he woke up, Cleo would smack him in the face and run away up the stairs. Once he got up to the top of the stairs, he would howl like he was hurt, and sweet kitty Bob, having recovered from the smack to the face, would go charging up the stairs to save Cleo from his horrible fate. A few seconds after he disappeared up the stairs, there would be shriekings and howlings and Bob would come flying down the stairs with Cleo in hot pursuit.

I have a scar on my hand from the demonic demon tabby, Cleo, even 15 years after his death. I still hate him. It's like he marked me with his hate.

[–]Godolin 17 points18 points ago

Ahahaha. Poor Bob, always being lied to.

Was his last name Paulson, by chance?

[–]Drawtaru 27 points28 points ago

Nope. Just Bob the Blob or, more commonly, "kitty Bob." My mom used to use him as a weight to do arm curls. When she raised him up, he would look at the ceiling, and when she lowered him down, he would look at the floor. She'd do a set of reps with him as a weight several times a week. And he seriously did purr like a chainsaw. Constantly.

[–]Godolin 10 points11 points ago

Ah, "Kitty Bob". That's a name I can actually relate to my childhood.

About a decade back, my mom had just made friends with one of her coworkers at a brand new job. As fate turns out, her pet cat had just given birth to a litter two weeks later. They sold/gave away all but one, the runt named "Bob". Every night after work, my mom would come home and ask me and my sister if we wanted to go visit "Andy and kitty-Bob" (I was 8-9, so I put species before name to help remember.)

Yeah, we had "that" cat too. Ours was named Arnold, and she was a hefty chunk of feline.

[–]Drawtaru 13 points14 points ago

I have a funny name story, too, unrelated to the subject of cats. We raised horses, and my parents were always talking about such-and-such horse was named ______ but their registered name was _____ ______. So when I was about 4 years old, someone asked me what my name was, and I told them that my name was [first name] but my registered name was [first name, middle name]. I have never yet lived that down.

[–]Differlot 6 points7 points ago

I put species before name to help remember

"Yes, i would love to go visit them Human mom?"

[–]buddascrayon 8 points9 points ago

You named a male cat Cleo. And you wonder why he hated you and everything you loved.

[–]Drawtaru 14 points15 points ago

I wasn't born yet when Cleo came into the household. My mother named him. He was originally thought to be a "she" and was named Cleopatra. When my mom took him to the vet, the vet was like "Yyyyeeeeahhhhh.... this is a BOY cat." and he became Cleo. The cat loved my mom. He hated the fuck out of me. He died on my fucking birthday. Fucking cat. I miss my kitty Bob, though. :(

[–]buddascrayon 5 points6 points ago

I had a cat named Spaz, and had to give him away when I moved out of my apartment and I still miss him. So I know how that goes. :/

[–]drakehh98 1 point2 points ago

Happiest day of your year? Fuck that, your parents are mourning my death.

[–]Drawtaru 1 point2 points ago

Parent. And yep thats pretty much how it went lol.

[–]bearkin1 0 points1 point ago

Wow. I have two cats, Millie and Cleo. Millie, the 1.5 year old, loves Cleo. Cleo, the 7 year old, hates Millie. Millie will chase Cleo around in an attempt to play. Once Cleo is fed up, she will turn around, bitch slap Millie, and chase her through out the house.

Also, Cleo is also a tabby.

[–]Drawtaru 0 points1 point ago

Cool! Lol

[–]Byrkmire 5 points6 points ago

Instead of visualizing him purring louder than a chainsaw, I just visualized him making chainsaw noises slicing through everything with that Doritos bag.

[–]GimmeCat 13 points14 points ago

Sheathed claws, though; this is the "playful" kind of evisceration.

[–]Xenos_Sighted -2 points-1 points ago

Sheathed..... nice.

[–]Zimoria 12 points13 points ago

i can confirm the bunny kick is meant to tear shit up. every cat i've had does this to it's "prey"

[–]andrushkin 29 points30 points ago

In other words, my arm

[–]tatastitties 18 points19 points ago

I also noticed the reared hind legs readied to shred his foe.

[–]stferago 0 points1 point ago

Yes. That's called the bunny kick.

[–]bwillb 6 points7 points ago

The legs went into position, but didn't kick.

[–]Shanny2129 1 point2 points ago

False, those a love kicks. It's meant to bring them closer together!

[–]Saxgoth 1 point2 points ago

I love love kicks!

[–]Illadelphian 1 point2 points ago

He doesn't go through with it, he stops. If it was treating it like that it would have kept kicking like that.

[–]stferago 1 point2 points ago

Uh, have you ever seen a cat do a bunny kick? That is not what is happening in this gif (Though you can tell it was thinking about it).

[–]blasianninja -1 points0 points ago

this kills the stuffed animal.

[–]el__duderino 97 points98 points ago

Yea, he is not "hugging" it. He is bringing it closer so it can kick with it's hind legs to kill the creature. This misinterpretation is amusing.

[–]cgunner 15 points16 points ago

It's actually a blood sucking vampire kitty. What happened was, in June of 1978 they (government?) commissioned scientists to create vampires, with bat and human DNA, well, everyone knows you can't cross humans and bats, right? So instead, they crossed a cat and a bat, because they rhyme, and cats are natural killers. Anyways, it went horribly wrong, and the the vampire kitty escaped and is now hiding somewhere. So what we see is not actually a snuggly cat, it's a cold hearted blood sucking motherfucker trying to rape that stuffed animal of all it's precious life. Not cute at all really. I don't know why more people don't know this.

[–]Spamallthethings 4 points5 points ago

you tell good stories.

[–]iamagainstit 6 points7 points ago

doesn't that usually involve rapid kicking?

[–]viborg 9 points10 points ago

There's sometimes some playful biting and torture involved before going right for snapping the neck.

[–]Spamallthethings 6 points7 points ago

hurray for cats! theyre so cute!

[–]viborg 2 points3 points ago

You don't want to know how many partially eaten small vertebrate carcasses I've had to clean up in my life.

[–]TheoQ99 2 points3 points ago

this gif prematurely ends before that happens I guess

[–]Spamallthethings 0 points1 point ago

How would you know? You cant even see it. Or do you magically grow eyes for r/aww?

[–]okayplayer720 2 points3 points ago

he's also biting its throat

[–]Fraymond 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand why r/aww is a whole group of people that love cats, and know nothing about them.

[–]monopixel 2 points3 points ago

OP understands cats but also understands how to reap that karma.

[–]DemonstrativePronoun 0 points1 point ago

Thank you! I was thinking there was no way cats would hug things.

[–]I_Found_Four_Oh_Four -2 points-1 points ago

Came here anticipating this being the top comment, even planned writing my pointless reply.

[–]chaddax 15 points16 points ago

we all know the claws were drawn and he was trying to kill it.

[–]scribbling_des 15 points16 points ago

I don't even care if someone posts this every week. I will love it every time I see it.

[–]PantheraAtrox 18 points19 points ago

[–]Probatedignum 2 points3 points ago

I've never seen this before and I enjoyed it. Thanks OP.

[–]Pterodactyl_Time 3 points4 points ago

Anyone who has ever rubbed a cats belly knows that is by no means snuggling.

[–]nyank0 0 points1 point ago

My cat loves having his belly rubbed, I feel like the luckiest cat lady in the world.

[–]isthataturtle 7 points8 points ago

Well i just had an awwgasm

[–]Ashilikia 2 points3 points ago

I had a cat that did something just as cute! My runt cat took a liking to a stuffed black cat we had. She would walk it around the house, holding on to it with the back of its neck in her mouth, and growl at anyone who tried to take it away. My mom thought it was adorable, and said that the cat was carrying it like a mother cat would. One day, we found the stuffed cat's head lying in the middle of our dining room. My mom dropped the mothering assumption pretty quickly.

But yeah, it was adorable.

[–]imafreakingtaco25 2 points3 points ago

CRAP! I had downloaded that gif a month ago. I just never remembered it. :(

[–]merkey 2 points3 points ago

don't worry, it's been posted a dozen times.

[–]SparklyMarshmallows[S] 0 points1 point ago

Post it again in a month. And there go the upvotes.....

[–]SporktallionOf1 2 points3 points ago

I had an ex-girlfriend once who did that when I handed her matching owl salt and pepper shakers.

[–]yah5 2 points3 points ago

Gargling at the mouth from cuteness.

[–]vanashh 2 points3 points ago

[–]cho_O 2 points3 points ago

Hug of death

[–]reddit_poster_anon 14 points15 points ago

Sigh. Repost AND the comments section is already overrun with the obligatory "It's not cute, he's killing it" comments. Maybe I should get off the Internet for a while...

[–]ENM173 15 points16 points ago

Man, it's a .gif of a cat. Don't take the internet so seriously.

[–]toThe9thPower 21 points22 points ago

[–]quickie_ss 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure he was attacking.

[–]TimeTravelingCowboy 1 point2 points ago

it's super effective!

[–]asststic 1 point2 points ago

I gave the exact same stuffed cat to my cat as a kitten and still to this day bunny kicks the shit out of it.

[–]Scarjaka 1 point2 points ago

Really cute, but he actually wants to shred it to pieces.

[–]DanceRedditDance 1 point2 points ago

My whole face lit up when I saw this :D

[–]pleas_ent 1 point2 points ago

I actually said, "Huh h'awww." Didn't think I would ever do that.

[–]louicifer 1 point2 points ago

that's so fucking cute, i think i just grew ovaries

[–]filterspam 1 point2 points ago

That's not a snuggle it's a prelude to disembowelment.

[–]DeliciousDonuts 8 points9 points ago

That has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen

[–]BrainSlurper 2 points3 points ago

Especially after you realize he was hugging it so his compressed hind legs could tear it's stomach open.

[–]DeliciousDonuts 28 points29 points ago

What an adorable finishing move!

[–]gfixler 0 points1 point ago

And that as he pulls it close he bites its neck.

[–]Impetus1 2 points3 points ago

Nice karma machine!

"Snuggle"?

[–]Xenos_Sighted 0 points1 point ago

Aside from my gf sending me a picture of her snuggling with her 2 year old brother (he has.... complications, which made it all the cuter), this is the cutest fucking thing I've seen in a long time.

I wish I were the stuffed animal...

[–]Sudenveri 14 points15 points ago

Given that the cat is about to forcibly remove the stuffed animal's hypothetical intestines, I doubt it.

Which do you think has been posted more times. This gif, or posts consisting entirely of the word "repost"?

I think you may find that the unoriginal one is you.

[–]Phoequinox -1 points0 points ago

OH LOOK IT RESEMBLES A HUMAN CHILD HOLDING A STUFFED BEAR. IT'S WAY CUTER NOW.

I feel like we'd all like animals more if they were just small, hairy humans that didn't talk.

[–]spartaninspace 0 points1 point ago

yeah, but humans are deceitful arseholes, cats at least let you know when they are being arseholes

[–]urspx 0 points1 point ago

I like cats precisely because they aren't humans. If cats could talk that would be awesome.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

If I have to see one more cat I'm going to have a fucking aneurysm.
