Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

The cat has actually been dead for weeks, the op just puts the cat in various situations for Karma.

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 4 points5 points ago

Or the cat has epilepsy, and OP shines a flashlight at him everytime he needs karma.

[–]SirCannonFodder 0 points1 point ago

That's even worse!

[–]kabukistar 5 points6 points ago

:(

[–]pizearke 14 points15 points ago

[–]HEHEUHEHAHEAHUEH 200 points201 points ago

I see you have the volume on full. Please turn it down, their hearing is much more sensitive than ours. My cat likes jazz.

Edit: op says the cat is fine, master volume is down. Nice cat op.

[–]OccamsRazer 70 points71 points ago

Pop music actually plays much louder for the same volume setting than classical does. It's called volume inflation. I'm sure the cat is fine. Additionally, the cat would probably not just sit there if it was in pain.

[–]averad[S] 117 points118 points ago

You are 99% correct, the master volume is also lowered. No blown ear drums for this cat.

[–]CaptainAmsterdam 25 points26 points ago

Good man.

[–]nahojjjen 14 points15 points ago

It is possible that he lowered the maximum volume in settings, like I have. It's still probably a little loud though.. But wouldnt the cat just toss them off if they were annoying?

The fuck are you talking about

[–]candyman420 -3 points-2 points ago

look at his name

[–]BerryGuns 5 points6 points ago

What about it?

[–]Wasshehomeless 0 points1 point ago

aha what did he say to get 45 down votes?

[–]BerryGuns 0 points1 point ago

It was really weird,one how the cat is stunned and can't move. He also gave an example of how his cat can't move when he has speakers turned on loudly.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]geetar_man 13 points14 points ago

What the hell are YOU talking about?

[–]Phallindrome 2 points3 points ago

Looking at this now, I don't understand why he was downvoted, but you were rude.

[–]MadroxKran 7 points8 points ago

I bet it really sucks when you get logged out and have to retype your username.

[–]HEHEUHEHAHEAHUEH 5 points6 points ago

Nah, it's just phoenetic.

[–]forumrabbit 0 points1 point ago

Dogs can't hear the difference between consonant and dissonant intervals. By extension I'm guessing cats too.

Sorry, they cannot hear music.

[–]HEHEUHEHAHEAHUEH 1 point2 points ago

That really is quite interesting. Wouldn't it just be that they can't hear music the same way we can, but they could still enjoy what they do hear? As in it could calm them or improve their mood.

[–]Superabound2 0 points1 point ago

Yeah they can, theyre just not giant douchey pretentious hipsters about it.

[–]malik753 27 points28 points ago

For some reason, I doubt that the cat in this picture is alive.

[–]nullibicity 1 point2 points ago

What, can't you see the vibrations? That's, um, breathing.

[–]Ghastlygherkin[!] 16 points17 points ago

Everyone's having a good wank about the volume aren't they.

[–]BerryGuns 2 points3 points ago

That's... One way of putting it.

[–]Milkslinger 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

EDIT: I had a 2 paragraph essay trying to further express myself about this, but it seems that there is no better way to sum everything up than what you said.

[–]_Spider-man_ 13 points14 points ago

"Oh are you asleep? Let me just stick these headphones in your ears and take pictures for karma."

[–]Uberninjaa 1 point2 points ago

"Look how happy he is!"

[–]zidanetribal 28 points29 points ago

Or a cat that hates classical music blasted into its ears.

[–]SoFisticate 26 points27 points ago

My cat fucking loves Meowzart

[–]UncleHonest 13 points14 points ago

My dog loves Barch

[–]Rohan21166 6 points7 points ago

Saint Bernard's like Beethoven.

[–]poidogpon 0 points1 point ago

HE should make her a MeowMix!

[–]deliverydriverguy 1 point2 points ago

10 years later… Meow that's what I call music volume 150

[–]tuutzori 25 points26 points ago

You say you love music, yet you have apple earbuds.

[–]averad[S] 29 points30 points ago

I traded 62 hats to get my ear buds

[–]PacoTaco9001 14 points15 points ago

Well he can't go sticking his expensive headphones in his cat's ears!

[–]xQcKx 0 points1 point ago

But he does have a point

[–]PacoTaco9001 -1 points0 points ago

Indeed he does.

[–]mrtomjones 3 points4 points ago

OH no, someone has a certain brand of ear buds from such a terrible company. They can't possibly really like music.

[–]emnar 1 point2 points ago

I own two Macbook Pros, on my fourth iPhone, have an Apple TV, and have purchased iPads for my family. I like Apple. So trust me when I say, those white earbuds are horrible.

[–]Handyland 1 point2 points ago

I use them because they're comfortable. Last time I tried a different pair (Sony, I think) it ended up just being wasted money because they didn't fit my ears well. They also blocked out a lot of sound, so it wasn't as safe to walk around with and I couldn't hear when people called my name.

If you have any recommendations for something that fits like the Apple earbuds, lay it on me!

[–]WolfenDragoon 0 points1 point ago

klipsch image s4 headphones are what I use, they fit well and have good sound

[–]Canadian_Government -5 points-4 points ago

if they really liked music that much they could spring $30 for a better pair

[–]bultonic 3 points4 points ago

Wait, I have to spend money for better sound quality to love music? Man, this changes everything.

[–]Canadian_Government -1 points0 points ago

It's like being a car enthusiast and driving around a rusty old minivan.

So feel free to go ahead, I'm sure you have your reasons but it doesn't really make sense to not make that tiny investment into something you love.

[–]jefjefjef 5 points6 points ago

i already spent hundreds on a damn iphone, i'm broke now okay.

[–]generalsunshine 26 points27 points ago

This kills the cat.

[–]exatorp 1 point2 points ago

Really hope that cat's asleep, and not dead.

[–]thespot84 1 point2 points ago

If the cat likes Ravel you should treat it to Miroirs.

[–]Crazyhappygirl 0 points1 point ago

Do you smile like this when you listen to it too?? Just feel like I need to know...

[–]sivablue 0 points1 point ago

I like it says "Classical".

[–]Popxorcist 1 point2 points ago

Our cat used to only listen to Pantera. She would sit by the window in my room because it had a great view. As soon as I changed the music to something else she'd run out of the room.

[–]blueduckwatchout 1 point2 points ago

I can read "classical," I can probably make out "Maurice Ravel," and roughly judging by the length of the title, I'm gonna guess your cat is listening to Bolero?

[–]Danno131313 1 point2 points ago

Pavane!

Cat Scat

Eamon Grennan

I am watching Cleo listening, our cat

listening to Mozart's Magic Flute. What

can she be hearing? What

can the air carry into her ears like that,

her ears swivelling like radio dishes that

are tuned to all the noise of the world, flat

and sharp, high and low, a scramble of this and that

she can decode like nobody's business, acrobat

of random airs as she is? Although of course a bat

is better at it, sifting out of its acoustic habitat

the sound of the very shape of things automat-

ically-- and on the wing, at that. The Magic Flute! What

a joy it is, I feel, and wonder (to the end this little scat)

does , or can, the cat.

[–]nitrogen76 1 point2 points ago

One of my cats adores Pink Floyd, especially "Dark Side of the Moon." Whenever I play it, he'll sit on the speaker or subwoofer and sometimes lay on his back, with his head drooping over the speaker.

[–]Ryo95 0 points1 point ago

Your cat is a stoner.

[–]dspang 0 points1 point ago

My cat likes metal, errr, metal relaxes him. If I have metal blasting on my speakers, he goes to sleep so well and easily in my room. If I put on classical he gets up and walks right out. Though, he may not like the extreme high frequencies of violins.

[–]TehSheep -1 points0 points ago

Saw this on Facebook on Tuesday. Get it together, Reddit.

[–]bigred326 0 points1 point ago

Has any asked what song is actually playing yet; I'm slightly interested to which artist can produce this reaction from any animal

[–]Large_Fanny 1 point2 points ago

None of your cats like music, holy shit.

[–]jelde 1 point2 points ago

yes they do. cats are people, dude. i talk to them about it every day, and trust me i know they love when i do. they never answer, but i can just tell that they understand.

[–]bazzer66 1 point2 points ago

Be careful, I'm not sure his ears can Handel that.

[–]The_Jim 0 points1 point ago

When I was a kid we had a cat that used to insist on being allowed to sit in my brothers room when he was playing his guitar, but ONLY when he was playing jazz.

I wish somebody had told me in the 1990s that reddit was going to be invented and I needed to start photographing this shit.

[–]SlinkoSnake 1 point2 points ago

Cat: "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

[–]JohnLateralus 0 points1 point ago

Everyone knows Vivaldi, Bach and Handel are the best.

[–]Jorgemeister -1 points0 points ago

with the fucking ibuds?! poor animal, stop torturing him. those are the worst sounding electronics ever including cellphone's speakers

[–]shazbonk 0 points1 point ago

And then... THERE WAS A FIREFIGGGHHHHTTTTTT!

[–]FullSexWithAWoman 0 points1 point ago

He hates Bach.

[–]osheasf 0 points1 point ago

Well I just found my new favorite cat picture

[–]cplegend 0 points1 point ago

They peed on your fucking rug.

[–]VAPossum 0 points1 point ago

I would LOVE a video of this guy listening to the music.

[–]Mycakedayis1111 0 points1 point ago

Or the cat is just asleep and the OP put the headphones on him.

[–]homer1969 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, on a weird hard shitty day this made me smile.

[–]Dawgishly 0 points1 point ago

If only they had some type of device or apparatus that would allow OP and his cat to listen to classical music at the same time.

Like one jack with four ear buds. Or maybe something capable of filling a whole room with sound. Oh well.....

[–]Ago_Solvo 0 points1 point ago

Didn't they used to make string instruments out of twined cat guts? You may have the Buffalo Bill of cats...

[–]Morris_theCat 0 points1 point ago

Your cat has good taste.

[–]timmyisme22 0 points1 point ago

I cringe knowing you use those tinny earbuds on classical music. At least upgrade a little.

As for the cat, nice.

[–]ihasakiwi 0 points1 point ago

Jailbroken?

[–]Ryo95 0 points1 point ago

My cat loves it when I play melodic death metal on my acoustic guitar.

[–]Vilexxica -1 points0 points ago

That looks like wincing, not a smile D:

[–]jinklmun 0 points1 point ago

I have grown fond of beethoven's ninth ever since i watch a Clockwork Orange. And singin in the rain as well.

[–]ekzo_ -1 points0 points ago

this cat is dead

[–]Maceman25 0 points1 point ago

Looks in pain...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

This is fake. That cat is dead.

[–]averad[S] 2 points3 points ago

Volume inflation & master volume is down

[–]ThroatySteak 3 points4 points ago

you obviously don't listen to classical

[–]lezlad -2 points-1 points ago

Not through those earbuds it doesn't

[–]s70 -2 points-1 points ago

You can see clearly that the cat is listening to an epic trance track..

[–]energyinmotion -2 points-1 points ago

i hear cats like mice. deadmau5.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Step 1: Find dead cat.

Step 2: Place headphones in its ears.

Step 3: Post to Reddit.

Step 4: Burn headphones.

[–]moto301 0 points1 point ago

This cat's hooked on the drugs, too.

[–]thelbane -2 points-1 points ago

Cat dies. One more chance for karma!

[–]nilmade -1 points0 points ago

I'm really glad there is someone else that still appreciates classical.

[–]OpiateCocktail 0 points1 point ago

check out /r/classicalmusic! there are more of us

[–]breadschtick -2 points-1 points ago

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[–]AFewSecondsAgoDouche -3 points-2 points ago

People who love classical music don't call it classical music, they call it music.

People who want to seem intelligent and sophisticated "listen" to classical music and make sure to tell everyone it's classical music they're listening to.

[–]fitzydog 1 point2 points ago

"What're you listening to?"

"Music"

"Don't get smart with me! What KIND of music?"

"..... music."

[–]AFewSecondsAgoDouche -1 points0 points ago

Um, no.

Person A: "What are you up to?"

Person B: "Just listening to some music, you?"

or

Person A: "What are you up to?"

Person B: "Listening to some classical music, I'm so intelligent and in tune with the arts".
