So, in the wild say there is a predator. The mother cat picks up her kittens by the backs of their necks so she can take them to safety. So they don't struggle or make noise, pinching the backs of their necks sends endorphins in a rush straight to their insane cat brains. So if you want a cat to like you, scratch the back of its neck.

[–]seemonkey 55 points56 points ago

This should really work on dogs, too, because that's how bitches carry their young.

    Programming bug: what if a predator grabs a cat by the back of the neck?

    [–]marburg 634 points635 points ago

    If one of your predators has access to your neck, it's pretty much game over.

    they stop for a while, several times.

    they look...like "owwww everything is moving now"

    [–]georgeguy007 15 points16 points ago

    From what it seems, they are actually waiting for the other guy to make the move. In those pauses they are having a stare down, and seem to be analyzing each other. It may seem weird because they are facing forward, but that's because of their eyes are on the side of their heads.

    As an example, at around 2m in, one giraffe goes lowers his head, and the other mimics him to block his move.

    Its weirdly awesome.

    [–]HabitOfCreature 47 points48 points ago

    No kidding! Our necks are painfully stubby and inadequate. If a human tried to fight back by swinging his head at a giraffe, he'd only look silly.

    Because I'm not aware of any method of human self defense other than swinging your head at things, If elected Prime Minister, I promise human necks will be lengthened by 7% by 2025!

    [–]danE3030 34 points35 points ago

    I like the text that flashes at the beginning, "They don't show you this on T.V.", like its some sort of a glimpse into the mysterious, shady, perverse underworld that is Giraffe Fight Club.

        I think they are trying to use those stubby l'il horns on the tops of their heads, but as you pointed out, they end up using their faces.

            Giraffes are the Chuck Norris of the savannah. Their knees can rotate a full 360 degrees, and a full kick from a giraffe could decapitate a lion. Don't fuck with Giraffes.

                        It's important to note that it is rare for this reaction to last into adulthood. It's usually only present while they are still kittens.

                        [–]Cecek 18 points19 points ago

                        Really? My family had had tens of cats and I think most of them still have this reaction. They might not get completely "paralyzed", but you can definitely still notice it with them.

                        Are you a vet/have you been trained where the spot on their neck is? if not it probably will just piss them off. My fiance actually is in the process of becoming a vet tech and has done this. They shouldn't really grow out of it, though they can sense if you are under-confident by your actions.

                                    That sounds painful, or a type of STD.

                                      It totally works on human women just as well, except not as extremely, and the proper way is to pull hair there not too strongly.

                                      It doesn't work anywhere else, so it's probably the same evolutionary mechanism.

                                          I think it works better on kittens, I tried it on my 6 year old cat and she looked at me like "What the fuck are you doing Human.Stop it." But my kitten just layed there like she was okay with it.

                                          Not unless you also pick it up like a kitten. Whilst the cat will go limp, an adult cat is too heavy to be picked up by the scruff without injuring it.

                                                      You can put crabs to sleep by rubbing their stomachs. Then you can set them down while they're still and it'll be a few seconds until they wake up again and scurry off.

                                                      I was just thinking this. For a second there, I was sure they would poke the cat and when they took the clip off it would just start crying in agony.

                                                      My only concern is if some dumbass uses an extremely strong clip that would bruise the skin. Tip: if it hurts to pinch your own skin with it, don't put it on your cat.

                                                      I actually came here to ask if it hurts the cat at all.

                                                      Unless you pinch it really hard, nope. That part, the scruff, is a lot of loose skin. It's not wise however to pick a cat up by their scruff since the weight will cause at least discomfort. If you have a fat cat lifting them this way could cause pain. Kittens, being small and light, don't get hurt at all.

                                                      Vets actually do this with a clip to calm agitated cats.

                                                          Its an instinctual reflex from when the cat is a kitten and the mother grabs it by the nape of the neck. It doesnt hurt the cat at all.

                                                          That honestly looks a lot more like a debugger than a bug to me.

                                                          The full video is even more impressive. Moments before the vet put the clip on the cat's neck, the cat was very active, trying to climb down from the table, turning this way and that, wanting to explore the room and look around.

                                                          Then, clip goes on, and... trance.

                                                          I think it might be because the cat think it is being lifted by their mother, so not to fuck anything up they just stay still. But I don't know anything, just a wild guess :)
