Sammy the Cat VS The Mantis

[TheKeygans]

recorded with PAPER:P

[Picatrix333]

awe, that was a brave little mantis. he had his paws up the whole time ready to defend himself. that was cute at the end too when he watched the cat walk away in relief.

[waterballon38]

xD lol

[Tiddlyfish20]

Wow, I love the preying mantis. My favorite insect. I used to on two. But I let them go. I got them a couple hours after they came out of their egg.

[misusamzoe2009]

Thank you for not allowing your cat to torture and kill the mantis...although that mantis looked like he was ready to kick cat-butt!!!

[ZombieCallum]

FUCKING AMAZING INSECT! damn America is exotic

[MBXfilms]

They are really rare. I've only seen 4 ever

[Tiddlyfish20]

@MBXfilms um, they aren't rare. They are a regular bug that is common in the warmer states. Do live somewhere up north, it doesn't look like it. I see them all the time. I live in Florida by the way.

[MBXfilms]

@Tiddlyfish20 Indiana, not real common here at all

[Tiddlyfish20]

@MBXfilms Oh, then that's why. They aren't really in the north.

[mikaila31]

@MBXfilms They are easy to get a hold of. What you do is buy the egg cases off ebay or some other site. Then once they hatch let them go around your yard in late spring. They don't wander far from where they are released. We did that and later in the summer found 4 adults that we kept. They can not survive permanently up here in WI, so once winter comes they SOL. I've only had them once, but they were fun bugs. This year I raised various native caterpillars.

[MBXfilms]

@mikaila31 Well if you saw my other Mantis video you'd know I wouldn't wany many around anymore, I tried to tape it and it jumped onto my camera to attack me

[ZombieCallum]

@MBXfilms Ya! it has pretty much every type of terrain also swamps deserts, forests, snow mountains and compared to England which is boring buildings after buildings.

[TheGusto69]

@ZombieCallum America is exotic? Wow, the first, and probably last time ill ever hear that ;)

[judomouse]

Quick someone pour bleech on the cat.

[EyesMustBeOpened]

That mantis is a fucking warrior!

I bet it could go three with Mike Tyson.

[rumyluvgrl]

Praying Mantis?  Looks more like a Boxing Mantis lol

[ripleyandhoneydog]

that cat just gave up...

[Krawll02]

hahaha, GO mantis GO.

that was a nice video. Nobody died at the end .

[MBXfilms]

That's my favorite part too.

[gagetuckerfilms999]

[laksirvak]

[MBXfilms]

I've already served my 7 minutes of community service so it's OK.

[gage11hello666]

[gagetuckerfilms999]

im back on u tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gagetuckerfilms999]

that was cool

[ashleyytim]

That was intense. Too bad he didn't eat it as a fatality.

[gage11hello666]

cool video

go sammy

[VennMoMo]

The question I was thinking throughout the clip was, will Sammy eat it?! Very cocky that he laid down to relax whilst dishing out the blows.

[riccig93]

awesome vid haha i wanted the mantis mantisto win no offence to sammy but the mantis put up a good fight lol it looked like sammy was punching the

[gage11hello666]

[MBXfilms]

[draksde]

[bigern1990]

[xxWEINERxx]

[megamanxtc]

Sammy! Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!

[barbi6]

that's awesome

[ThebeginningTheend]

the freakiest moment is at 1:23 seconds!"Thug life bitch!" lol

[charmedjames]

I was just sayin it basically looks abit cruel when you could of pulled ur cat away!

[MBXfilms]

Yeah but at the end when my cat leaves it's because I told him to stop and the mantis got away. I won't be posting a sequel that's for sure.

[draksde]

i nominate you for carebare of the mantis ppl.

[charmedjames]

what watching your cat torment a prayin matid >_> anyway im just saying not arguin.

[charmedjames]

you watched it get attacked tutut

[MBXfilms]

It's called nature.

[FreshBlade]

Mantis is like "C'mon BITCH let's DO IT!..Yeah that's right..uh huh...what's this?.....My left hand?...yeah BAM!...tagged you with my right bitch....Watch this, is it the left the right the left the right? BAM! Yeah that's right who's your daddy bitch!"

[duterte13]

If the mantis was 1/2 the size of the cat, you'd be seeing a headless cat.

[cantslowdown]

lmao, i agree.

[coughmint]

the cat was playing beacuse he didnt use his claws poor mantis cot tossed around a bit but it got the cats nose and its pads a few times when the cat the walked away the mantis got out his found and called his mates and told them how he beat up a cat!

[OGIGA]

Yay for mantis! :)

[supa122]

props to the mantis for holding its ground against an animal a lot bigger and more powerful they are the best Insects ever

[supa122]

Can a mantis heal after it gets beaten up like we can say if it broke its legs?

[OGIGA]

An adult mantis won't be able to heal itself. If it were a nymph (non-adult) then it can regenerate a lost limb after molting.

[Dr4g0nstyl3]

praying mantis kicks ass i bet that was a northern praying mantis xD

[tjjavier]

That's the bravest mantis I've ever seen! Props to that sumbitch. Walks away with battered legs but with his head up high.

[marcusdangel]

the cat was like, "Bitch going to make a fighting pose with me," pow(cheesey hitting effect),"ill take you down mantis"

cat again,"oh fuckin it im bored by." no it would've ben funny if you put it the cats back

[sixlotties]

POOR MANTIS CURSE THE CAT!

[princessamorena]

fuck u!!cats rule, u suck dicks!

[88KeViNG88]

cute little cat

[Zralf]

this is a GREAT video, its obvious that the kity just wants to play, and doesn't hurt the mantis even though it pokes it with it's paw, the mantis is dead serious though, look how fiercly it defends itself from a much much much bigger adversary, and how proudly it walks away later, like it's sying" yea keep walking you cat.

[SERVICECANADAGC]

where u going kitty i didnt finish with u bring your sorry ass so i can make sushi out of u coz ?

[ZoeMyGod]

I LOVE THE CAT OMG OMG OMG OMG, thats so scary tho i didnt want to see tht kitty get hurt! Go sammy!

[MBXfilms]

He's got his own show now, click the video response to this for the first episode.

[Girlie1986]

Lol mantis at the end was all like,

"..And stay the hell away!" Great :P

[Girlie1986]

Curiosity killed the ...

Well very beautiful mantis and cat btw! :D

[TethAdam]

Excellent! I want to see a rematch!

[boudzuy]

mantis are the master of martial arts humans learn martial arts from mantis..

[FASpitfire]

haha, enviromentalist panzy what do you think cats do in the wild huh? THATS RIGHT!!! they kill stuff like rats or birds, now the normal thing is to say "aww isnt fluffy cute just tairing the throat right out of that bird" cause thats what they do!

[urbanfolk]

Haha! Awesome!

That cat is HELLA cute. =)

[MidnightRunway]

Hell no!

That cat kicked its ass!!

It was all like "WUT BITCH WHAT!?" when it was punching it with its paw.

That mantis got jacked up! The cat was like

"fuck you you aint worth it" at the end. It legs looked like they got jacked up.

So the award goes to sammy.

I love these kinds of videos!

YOU GO SNOWBALL...OR SAMMY W/E YOUR NAME IS!

[LgDuality]

ok first of all mantis stand there ground til death they dont fear anything and second of all a prey-mantis is a defensive it was protecting its territory (hunting spot) or someone put it there just to watch it fight the cat ur lucky the prey mantis wasnt 1 of those violet eyes (violet eye endangered Prey-mantis)

[troymantis]

all of what you said was suprisingly stupid and untrue.

hunting spot?

violet-eye,endangered 'prey' mantis

you look as if you dont know what the hell you are talking about.

kinda wished the owner stopped the cat really.=(

[Dhampir50]

wow are u one of those gay ass "enviromenalist's" its fuckin life get used to it !!!

[troymantis]

now what the fuck are YOU on about?

im no so called 'environmentalists' where the hell did you pop that one up? just keep youself to yourself ok?!

YGGR

[MBXfilms]

I didn't "put it there". They had been fighting for a few minutes before I got there, someone called me out to film it. I made my cat stop, that's why it just stops at the end, I called his name.

[troymantis]

ah, ok, sorry for the commotion here, most youtubers always make a fuss about things, including myself.

damn...

[Zralf]

go you ^_^

[tone1245]

the mantis broke all his legs but still walked away the victor.

[wadia860]

Lovely cat!

[JaxooLC]

my cat was like that until it got hit by a car, man that mantis owned the cat wow!!

[JaxooLC]

my cat was like that too until it got hit by a car

[Lexaaa21]

ouch that mantis got squashed lol

[atlanticl]

wow....that mantis sure put up a fight...a mantis on a defensive! wow! i guess if an animal is big, that is when the predators go on a defensive, be it a mantis, cat, snake, or dog

[shizerman125]

cats are wierd all that have to do is punce it and some do but some just play with is its strange

[pudwad]

Ace vid, the mantis at the end still had his dukes up & was all come back & fight ya pussy!

[pwblank]

Nice editing.  I guess mantises are tougher than they look.

[Valnar2]

lol,nice blow exchange after the cat lied down^^

dont think that the mantis could defeat the cat^^

like it cause usually the it isnt the mantis who gets his ass whippded xD

[bestamerica]

a cute cat liked to play with a praying mantis..a cat fed up and walked off from a mantis..pooooor cat

[FCCAGut]

My cat beat up and rammed a pit bull into a fence and made it bleed, trust me my cat can fight like a praying mantis.

[takanoritoriyama]

ur puttin ur pet cats life at risk

[MBXfilms]

MY PET CAT! Right well, he's fine, this happend a long time ago.

[ninjaofyaoi]

Yaaay! The mantis lived! ^^ That was pretty cool. That mantis was keen on living!

[hahahyena]

ALL HAIL TO WARRIOR MANTIS

[bejakitus]

me wish me could fight like Mantis

[DJFURY2oo6]

dammin mantis sure know how to stick up for them self!! good vid lol loved when you zoomed in with the cam at the end with that music playing

[supasouless]

that reminds me of the time my cat came running thorugh the house with a big mantis stuck on his tail hilarious!

[zolo1243]

that's why i like praying mantises

[shengchenfan]

You have to give that Mantis credit they will stand up to anything,win or lose.

[MBXfilms]

Hey "YoDudesWhatsup333"....did you just agree with yourself there? That's special.

[YoDudesWhatsup333]

hope the cat died. cat eats too many animals.

[NFMF420]

im high as fuck and that was the most epic battle ive ever seen... that cats a bully and like what dude said that mantis is fuckin crazy ... like if this was the movie antz that mantis would be the king of the world, he fought a fucking cat.. thats like a human fighting going toe to toe with king kong

[tjjavier]

Haha! Damn Straight!! Hail to whatever it is you're on!

[bigyin109]

go gat >.< major PWNAGE on the mantis lol

[RoseMilord]

KITTY KITTY, BOY KITTY NEKO-CHAN POWER ^_^

*feeling so feline*

meeeoooow

[spartan3065]

Sammy the cat ftw the mantis got pwned =D

[KuKulzA28]

that mantis has courage...

imagine if you saw a cat, whose paw was the size of you... would you put up a fight? Man, this is why I love Praying Mantids... they are so ballsy and fearless

[blackseraphmike]

the cat is just messing around with the mantis, but thr mantis thinks it's playing for keeps? lol. the cat then gets bored and runs off. I wouldn't be surprised if that wounded mantis got eaten by another mantis.

[koron5]

mow your lawn hippie

[pheeeel17]

dam, that mantis has some balls

[cOiLcRy]

the mantis was defintely harmed, but by the cat.

[olivepip90]

Hope the mantis died. Hate those fuckers.

[mrboxleytheonly]

Mantis vs a Bull Beetle, that would be a fight.

[sylid]

cat: want to play?

mantis: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[zabpowday]

lol that boxe

[goldseal81]

its big that the mantis didnt back down..

[Fluffy1292]

lol lol the cat is just trying to play and the mantis thinks that this is his last day ahahaha the cats like what the hek??

[GmelMkII]

Man, Sammy could'a killed that sumbitch. He had him on the ropes the whole time. Good thing for the mantis he got bored. XD

[predaking50ae]

That cat may have killed that mantis. This is a little known fact, but dropping a spider onto the floor is all it takes to kill it because it will bleed to death through tiny cracks in its exoskeleton that you can't even see. Since that's true, I figure a battering like that mantis took may be enough.

[MBXfilms]

Oh.....that sucks then.......

[johnplaystuba]

kitty got pwn'd.

[magi185]

i thought the mantis held his own the cat could of chewed him up in a second but respect for the mantis

[TheMotherbrain]

lol tourian music, (in metroid bad guys are mantis-beast monsters xD ) lol nice video

[ShadowBrownie]

The cat is only playing ^^ You can see that since he's laying down on the ground while trying to catch the mantis. Yeah, nice cat btw.

I love mantis, and I love cats, so I love this vid lol

[xXMaverickHunterXx]

I've never seena mantis around my neighboord. Jeez they're big. Nice cat.

[AX3L666]

the cat is just playing and is able to kill the mantis easily even tho the mantis is a killer machine. my cat often plays a lot with flies and then eats them.

[Pokedude378]

I know it's a real mantis, but my brother here doesn't know if it's real for some reason.

[MBXfilms]

They are really rare where I live. I've seen one before this one, and I only got to see this one because I saw my cat acting weird outside. The sad thing is I missed the better parts of their "fight."

[hackbob987]

if i were the mantis i woolda been lyk FU* U KAT n lyk summon lyk ahundred other mantises n been lyk WUT NOW KAT lol.

[Doctorwaffles]

Probably the BEST comment I've EVER read on Youtube! Pure genius ROFLMAO

[masterofpuppies91]

Retard! The best strategy would be to summon the BUG GOD and have him smite the kitty and the camera...NO WITNESSES.

[YoDudesWhatsup333]

lol, good idea.

[itachi205]

i was very dissaponted that the cat did not smash it flat and did not eat it but overall this vid is fucking awsome !!!

[turdslinger]

thats sickening. i was wishing the cat would have killed it. to know that a cat cant kill a mantis is really troubling to me. after the mouse video i wanted to see a cat vs mantis video, i am very dissapointed that cats cant kill mantis's. can a mantis kill a cat?

[MBXfilms]

Mantis are pretty rare here, I really didn't LET it kill it. So...whatever.

[djsmithy]

Try scorpion versus mantis too.

[djsmithy]

Dude search for Giant Hornet vs Mantis on youtube. Its amazing! best video yet.

[GaryJohn2]

A cat could kill a mantis easily. So could a kitten. The thing is, many cats will play with their pray, sometimes for hours, before killing it and eating it. The simple fact is they'd rather have fun while they can. :)

[turdslinger]

a kitten could fall prey to a mantis

[GaryJohn2]

A mantis couldn't kill a shrew, much less a kitten.

[turdslinger]

couldn't kill a shrew? havent you seen the mantis vs mouse video?

[turdslinger]

thats sickening. i was wishing the cat would have killed it. to know that a cat cant kill a mantis is really troubling to me. after the mouse video i wanted to see a cat vs mantis video, i am very dissapointed that cats cant kill mantis's. can a mantis kill a cat?

[joeabro1]

cool video the mantis held his own but the cat was fighting to the death lollllll.

[Eximity]

That mantis is like "bring it on bitch!"

[Ap0c0l1p53]

Great vid

[khill2001]

and its a draw!! WOW, great vid!

[MBXfilms]

Well, I kinda called off my cat in the end because we rarly see Mantis around here and didn't want it to get killed. Is the music cool enough? I had a hard time finding some fight music that would fit.

[khill2001]

Yes music is fine, such a rare sight to see, the music doesn't take presedence.. ;) To be honest I'd rather hear just the video even if there isn't much to the sound. But like I said, funny vid, dont see mammals fighting insects to often for that long.. lol

[lancerb]

awsome, every1 on youtube who has commented on other mantis vs videos wanted a cat vs mantis, and here it is!

[MBXfilms]

...What!? There are other "VS Mantis" videos? That's...interesting.
