Didn't expect the broken leg

[–]Scopolamina[S] 110 points111 points ago

I think it makes the whole thing so much better. If this little guy can get under a door through a ~1 inch gap with a cast on his leg, what's your excuse?

[–]LightningMaiden 385 points386 points ago

My excuse is my skull and ribcage.

[–]WongFarmHand 109 points110 points ago

You sound just like my mother

[–]The_Painted_Man 59 points60 points ago

Does she have a skull and ribcage as well? We could be related...

[–]Layzeeboi 23 points24 points ago

She has a full set of ribs.

[–]peachesgp 6 points7 points ago

My clavicle is attached to other things, where as in a cat it's not attached to other bones, but essentially floating in muscle.

[–]CrackersInMyCrack 1 point2 points ago

Even if it wasn't, you still couldn't get under that door.

[–]peachesgp 2 points3 points ago

Well I was thinking along the lines of a proportional space, but you're right, I couldn't get under that door.

[–]toofatfor24 4 points5 points ago

I lost it when i saw the leg because it made me feel like this cat does whatever with no regard to his safety. Now that I think about it, a lot of cats are like this.

[–]sme00 0 points1 point ago

i'm not a cat :(

[–]Jdeucey 4 points5 points ago

but when I saw it I wasn't at all surprised

[–]AlwaysLupus 334 points335 points ago

If you play it in reverse, it looks like the kitten is being pulled into the wall by an unstoppable force.

Now you know why cats hate vacuum cleaners.

[–]Dr_Seuss_Novelty 40 points41 points ago

The sounds they make; the kittens they take, the vacuums of Satan, destroy a cat's faith and, tear them apart, the kittens so smart; to use their best sense, per-se-ver-ance.

[–]djinfish 3 points4 points ago

Reddit makes me chuckle out loud at times.

But this... in conjunction with the reverse .gif, nothing will ever beat the "lol's" I exerted that made me make a fool of myself to the unknowing that rapidly gathered around me.

Thank you.

[–]guydude24 49 points50 points ago

That might be the hardest I've laughed in a while, and I'm a cat person.

[–]calvinaught 9 points10 points ago

Works especially well when the cat is trying it's hardestto hold onto the door.

[–]3Jane_goes_to_Earth 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad I can count on reddit to reverse every gif that gets posted so that I only have to look at the good ones.

[–]ManaSpooky 0 points1 point ago

I started laughing uncontrollably before the gif even loaded.

[–]darkneo86 259 points260 points ago

That little 'mew' at the end. Poor kitty. He just wanted to be in the room with the person with the camera.

Bad person with camera, bad.

[–]Seicair 57 points58 points ago

That wasn't a little mew, that was a long, drawn out reproachful "mrroooooowww!"

At least, judging by how long his mouth was open.

[–]Marzipan86 95 points96 points ago

"Why you didn't just open the door? You know I hurted my leg"

[–]peepants3 21 points22 points ago

I know. I still lol'd but at the same time was like "c'mon guy...just open the door...the poor thing has a damn cast on".

If it was my cat and I did that she would probably wait untill I was asleep and then "accidentally" hit me in the face repeatedly with the cast.

[–]Lyeta 2 points3 points ago

It was a 'so, what do I get?'

[–]cunger 59 points60 points ago

At first I was all "haha cute" and then I was all "aawwwwww"

[–]Anticrastinator 19 points20 points ago

Curiosity killed the cat, but perseverance just breaks limbs.

[–]insufficient_funds 11 points12 points ago

This should be in /r/getmotivated

[–]ahoymehearties 11 points12 points ago

I require the YouTube version of this so that I might hear the "meow" noise at the end. Thank you in advance for your procurement of this.

[–]rule_27 9 points10 points ago

Rarely does anything make me "awwww" out loud (esp. at work), but in this case...with the cast...I just couldn't hold it in.

[–]Kellianne 3 points4 points ago

I like at the end how she looks up at the camera and meows as if saying,"Bitch, didn't you see me trying to get in here? Would it have killed you to open a door?

[–]elbowdoodle 3 points4 points ago

No wonder that little guy has a broken leg! He seems like such a cute little trouble maker.

[–]tragic-waste-of-skin 3 points4 points ago

At first I was like :-) and then I was like :-D . And that meow at the end killed me. Dawwwwwwwww.

[–]feor1300 2 points3 points ago

I like how at first he's like "Dammit skull, why are you holding me back?"

[–]flowboy 2 points3 points ago

I feel like his perseverance may be the cause for the broken leg. Ridiculously cute though.

[–]KingNak 2 points3 points ago

Ironically, this is how he broke his leg in the first place.

[–]LFK1236 2 points3 points ago

More like purrseverance, amirite?

can you believe that! there has now been 10 different kittens with broken legs squeezing under doors, what are the chances!?

[–]Brony2you 15 points16 points ago

So..?

Think of reposts like this. The post got upvoted. Who upvoted it? People who enjoyed it. Who would probably enjoy it? Preferable people who have not seen it.

The only point about pointing out its a repost is pointing out someone is getting karma. That and more people are seeing it.

Please explain to me what is the problem with that? Cause taking the time to point something out as a repost is beyond me.

[–]SemiProJoe 2 points3 points ago

I like this guy.

[–]sad_Chilli 1 point2 points ago

[–]theinvisiblegirlinCT 1 point2 points ago

where can i get my cats to do that? they're fat as hell so the gap would need to be like a foot tall.

[–]SaggyBallsHD 1 point2 points ago

That busted leg at the end was like a twist ending in a movie. Nobody say it, don't even fucking say it.

[–]lilcutie4017 1 point2 points ago

It just squeezed through XD

[–]barakasauras 1 point2 points ago

My cat was able to get rid of his cast within 20 minutes of getting home. I have never seen so much flailing in my life.

[–]shakycam3 1 point2 points ago

My rule is if the post makes me make a noise of any kind it gets an up vote. This one did. I went "AWWWW HAW HAW HAWWW!"

[–]AustinKozlowski 1 point2 points ago

the cast at the end is a total curveball

[–]LightningMaiden 1 point2 points ago

Awww :(

[–]the8bit 1 point2 points ago

Seeing as how this guy has two repost gif's on the same page, I figured I would click his name and see if that is all he does. Spoiler: it is not

[–]Goodykoontz 1 point2 points ago

OPEN THE DOOR YOU MONSTER.

[–]silverwolf761 3 points4 points ago

What kind of owner videotapes a cat (with a broken leg, mind you) trying desperately to fit under a door? I realize simply opening the door would help the animal and deny the owner the satisfaction of posting it online, but seriously, just open the fucking door

[–]dikdiklikesick 7 points8 points ago

As someone who has a cat like this, it totally doesn't matter. If you open the door they will just yell at you and run away. Then you close the door and it starts crawling under again, just to yell at you and run away. Heaven forbid you leave the door open, because it will come running across the house at full tilt to leap into the back of your head.

[–]silverwolf761 1 point2 points ago

Oh, I know cats often operate without thought or reason, but seriously, you wouldn't make a person crawl through a narrow opening like that, would you?

[–]dikdiklikesick 0 points1 point ago

Well, cats have great personalities, but they aren't people. They are also incredibly hard to reason with. So any attempts I would make to stop a human from crawling through a small crack would not work with a cat.

I have no doubt that this cat does that constantly. At some point it will get too big and that is the only way it will stop.

[–]Teabrat 0 points1 point ago

This video was taken by a lady that fosters kittens (and sometimes their mommas) till they can find a new home, Here is a link to the blog with all the videos on this precious kitten and all the dozens of others she has nurtured through some bad injuries and illnesses till they went to new homes. http://www.pitterpatsofbabycats.com/search/label/Hedda

[–]VonIsengard -3 points-2 points ago

The kind whose kitten gets a broken leg. :(

[–]silverwolf761 3 points4 points ago

tbh, shit happens and I can understand that, but videotaping a (temporarily) handicapped animal struggle in the name of "awwww"s is just something else entirely

[–]muons_and_gluons 6 points7 points ago

The cat didn't look stressed or concerned. Why are you?

[–]silverwolf761 2 points3 points ago

Not stressed? Did you happen to see the urgency with which it wanted out of that room? Some stress cannot be avoided (to be sure, and some stress is caused by actions that are for their own good - say at a Vets) but that surely can.

[–]VonIsengard -5 points-4 points ago

I agree, shit does happen, but sitting there taping a kitten in a leg cast squeezing under a door that you could just open for the poor kid already shows a lack of judgement a pet owner, so it makes me wonder.

[–]Lamar_the_Usurper 0 points1 point ago

Costs a shitload to treat a cat with a broken leg, give him some credit.

[–]VonIsengard 0 points1 point ago

I'm not calling him abusive, just a knucklehead.

After watching this I can only assume that whatever he did to break his leg must have been awesome!

My kitten used to do this. Luckily, she got bigger and can't do it anymore. It would scare the crap out of me.

[–]moviedude26 0 points1 point ago

Oh god. My cat has figured out that nothing is more annoying and attention demanding than to hit the door stopper dangly thing. He paws around until he hits that god forsaken noisemaker, then wait patiently until I inevitably let him into the fucking room... only for him to paw for release mere minutes later.

[–]nrrrdkitty 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought 'ok whatever, another .gif of a cat pawing under a door.' Then he got his head through and I was like 'ok whatever, he got through, great.' But then I saw the cast and made an audibly loud 'AWWWWWW.'

[–]MissCharleston 0 points1 point ago

Ohmygod!! Seriously.... that is just... that is just the saddest, most adorable fucking thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life.
