Cat That Claps Its Hands!

[rylraven13]

Yelle and an Aby? Automatic loves for the vid.

[kitykatykath]

wow thats amazing my cats name is Orion also!! and she actually looks a lot like your cat shes an oriental shorthair. i thot i was the only one in the world to name my cat that!

[CDeuce152]

My neighbor's dog does that. That's how he begs for attention whether if its his owners or guests.

[ObliquusExternus]

Ugly ass cat

[cB8209]

My cat does the same thing!!!!!! We call it the prayer though :P

[cB8209]

My car does the same thing!!!!!! We call it the prayer though :P

[simon6115]

@cB8209 Nice. Cool to see that you've got a cute cat clapping video as well. An abyssinian, no less. However, Orion is a firm atheist so there's no praying going on here.

[Matilducka]

@cB8209 car :D

[ksionc100]

abyssinians look great in blue

[ssoozee]

Yes, that shoulder move is something all of our Abys have done. I can't tell you how many guests in our home have been the victim of an unsolicited jump. We just refer to them as fur collars and walk around the house with them perched on us!

[CahillandDelene]

Aby's are great cats. Please check Abyssinian cat rescues first. There are many that need forever homes. Please don't buy from breeders when there are so many wonderful Aby's in rescues. I have adopted 2 Aby's from shelters and we LOVE them!

Our Aby loves to jump up and balance on top of the door jamb. It's the funniest thing we've ever seen!

[KEVINSAWESOME1]

lol he looks funny wen he movea his hands i hav the same cat myself luv them

[DigitalFrangipani]

haha I can hear it purring :)

[fuckthediet]

I so what an abby, infact no I want YOUR abby! What a sweet boy he is, all he wants is cuddles aww :)

[vanessahardy75]

I think that if cats knew how silly they looked clapping, they'd never do it!!

[HeartbreakerSecurity]

simon, your cat is fascinating! :) people can see how much fun he has! I'm sure you have many great moments with orion.

[ChoppaC1000]

i cant wait to get my two baby ABYSS!!!!

[simon6115]

@ChoppaC1000 where they at? make a video! 

[ChoppaC1000]

@simon6115 I got two baby Siamese instead chocolate girl flame boy, they are crazy butts, day 2

[MinsterRogers]

hey how did you teach your cat to jump on your shoulder like that? what hand motion are you using? thanks

[simon6115]

@MinsterRogers Actually there's no hand signals or training involved. I'm not doing anything other than holding a camera and making eye contact with him. He's simply done the clappy move since he was little, and the shoulder jump move, well, that's just Abyssinian behavior.

[MinsterRogers]

@simon6115 ok thanks. amazing that this vid hasnt got a million views. you should change the title to 'cat that claps its hands' or something. this vid should have at least 1million views.

how old is he now?

[FloppyCat1990]

@MinsterRogers No training needed, my kitten that I saved from a sewer drain does it by himself.

[MinsterRogers]

do abyssinian cats shed a lot? and how is their intelligence level?

[simon6115]

@MinsterRogers No they don't shed that much. I'd say average for short hair. It's managable, but probably not if you are allergic etc. Abyssinians are incredibly intelligent and love learning tricks and predicting your actions. Most importantly, they are very active and require a lot of attention. If you're looking for a calm, lazy cat, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a playful, highly affectionate cat, get an Aby.

[3Katzi3]

i love this kitty :D soo sweet ! I'm new at youtube :)

[OrganNLou]

SO CUTE!

[DumbDuck44]

perhaps all cats are different, but for our cat its a form of begging, done whenever something is wanted.

done at you means pick me up. done towards the fridge or bowl means feed me. done towards door means open it.

[fuckthediet]

Which Yelle song is that? :) I love aby's sooo much, so darn cute.

[Huntress187]

Hahaha that's cute. Orion is a doll ^.^

[astridaplenty]

This is brilliant! My cat Kaiser does exactly the same but is too fat to stand up - lol

[yfl487]

ПРЕЛЕСТЬ!!!!

[csylvester123]

hahaha i love how you can hear him purring in between the music as well

[3and3BeccaMarie]

my chihuahua daisy does that same thing lol we call it praying never saw a cat do it

[soniccage]

Horrible music.. poor cat

[JudeMaris]

Bwaha! I LIKE the ending where the cat leaps up and over the camera! :D

Our Abyssinian "Thor" also does that peculiar thing with his front paws. I guess to some extent that comes with the breed :)

[di0519]

What a beautiful abyssinian. I had one myelf and they are definitely a class by themselves. Did you train Orion to do the clappy dance or did he learn it on his own? I also see that he is a shoulder rider - mine (Paco) was, too. Love your video.

[simon6115]

he learned the clappy move on his own, no training. I think it's an extension of 'kneeding' which most cats do.

[morebloodplease]

if my cat simon could do that i'd form a band and give him tiny symbols!!!

[DPO263]

Can Orion also do the MEOWcarena?

[jdmrjdmr]

Princess Sahara loves to watch this video, she wants to dance too!

[assholio666]

Orion is the coolest cat i know. See ya at british teli night

love-

your stalker

[mjrcntv]

awesome! although you don't have to know cat sign language to understand what he's saying...CHANGE THE MUSIC.

[mctdotname]

great ending!

[onenineteen]

i hope orion got to go to the Yelle show. such a fan.

[cjmalkin]

Gotta love an abby, they are the clowns of the cat world! =^;^=
