  • LOL i love it when my kitten does this, except my kittin puts his ears all the way backwards

  • lol he isn't scared, he's playing lol when my cat was a kitten he always did this, he was never scared :)

  • Youtube needs to go back to the way it was! I can't even find my own comments anymore!

  • AHAHA I love it when cats do this.... especially kittens with kittenfluff.... it's so cute! My cat used to do this, but bounce sideways down our wheelchair ramp while doing it. Oh man, the giggles she used to get from doing that!!

  • I love cats because they do things like this.

  • my cat do that when she really wanna play, :)) its fun, she really love jump and scaring us haha LOL

  • AMERICAN STANDARED

  • Chicken cat.

  • My kitty does that =D

  • did it died?

  • Its trying to look big and intimidating when it sees something that could attack it.

    (They do that when you scare cats, or when they see other cats.)

  • LOL!! I Love kittieeeeees!!!! xD

  • i bet he/she is seeing JB

  • lol

  • my cat will do that some times.

  • lol my cat gets a massive bushy tail when she gets scared

  • hahahah !!!!! its great :)

  • Replay from 0:06 seconds! They laugh is funnier than the cat!

  • that type cat is my favourite

  • when my cat does that to me i do the exact same thing back to her

  • Why would anyone want a cat? They can't even fly.

  • mi cat be doin dat crap to me

    he freaky

  • thumbs up if this shit is only funny when you're tired as hell.

  • Why do people perceive posturing behaviour as being scared...

    Buy a book about cats if you own one or more :/

    If a cats really scared they run away/crawl into the smallest hole or nook they can find and fit in, growl, hiss even shit and pee on themselves to make you (the perceived predator) lose interest.

  • @InnSewerAnts Are you referring to the name of the video or other peoples comments? People associate this posture with being scared because of the media , Google "Halloween cat" or "scared cat" and you'll find a lot of images that look very similar. As far as I know this is actually a defensive Posture. he was defending himself from a pair of socks, lol.

  • @roadrunner2131 It wasn't an "attack" on the video, and the book part I think can't be made into anything but good advice to new pet owners :) I hate mainstream media, the quality of information rarely doesn't suck. And yes it's posturing, it's not necessarily defensive though, aggressors do it too, why fight and possibly get hurt if you have a chance of just intimidating the opposition. And it's used while playing of course :) Did some work with animal amb., saw many a terrified cat. (GLOVES!)

  • @roadrunner2131 A pair of socks. hehehe that's great.

  • @roadrunner2131 A pair of socks OMG that's funny you should have shown the socks, I like this video.

  • @InnSewerAnts you don't need a book to know the real thing! :)

  • @InnSewerAnts The cat IS scared or intimidated. Hence him puffing up to look bigger. Running away is a last resort. I've had cats all my life, currently my family has 9 of them. I used to read books like crazy about them. Something has him startled and he's showing confidence and aggression. He however has slight bend in the hind legs meaning he is unsure about attacking or running away.

  • @doryphish333 You're just describing flight/fight mechanism, being scared is not necessarily in the equation. Posturing is used in playfighting as well, one of my cats actually uses it to engage me to play with her. I've had cats all my life as well and worked for the animal ambulance for a while. If you think that cat must be scared just because the posturing then I would still recommend a good cat behaviour book. I've rescued scared even terrified cats. This isn't it. Cheers.

  • @InnSewerAnts you know posturing like this involves fear. so yes scared is one of the words that can be used to describe this.

  • @chockn Sigh no it's to entice play, bluff of another cat without fighting, or challenge, (the opposite of fear.)

    A real scared cat will not waste time on or take the risk of posturing.

    Ask a cat behaviour specialist, or as said get a decent book about cat behaviour.

    I have a traumatized cat, I know when it's posturing OR when it's afraid.

    because when it's afraid it wont waste time on posturing/challenging.

    I've also seen my share of actually scared cats and know the difference first hand.

  • @InnSewerAnts OMG all this misconception of beautiful cats is wrong, OMG I hate when they have a false perception of these majestic animals, like OMG

  • @CzarThePlezer If you mean my "opposition" on this old discussion, you'd at least think they'd look up any of the recommended sources instead of just throwing their opinions back at me.

    Probably afraid they will turn out to be wrong. They probably assumed I'm so arrogant I didn't check out my own statements.

    I guess my cat is scared of her toy mouse when it's posturing at that too. (according to them, get that scary stuffed mouse away ow no... (sorry got tired of this thread 3 months ago.))

  • @InnSewerAnts ur an idiot...

  • ....Why is this video related to "Fat kid on Rollercoaster"?

  • I don't know, but I got something from Happy Tree Friends recommended to me by YouTube because I watched a video with video game music in it. YouTube can be so weird sometimes lol.

  • Cat's will also do this in play. Usually if it's defensively frightened in nature it will growl or hiss in combination. The objective of the stance is to appear bigger and more threatening to the offender(s). Cats are tacticians by nature and will run if out-numbered.

  • @humanbeer I take it you don't own a cat and don't know how a cat reacts.

  • that cat have a hunchback xD

  • so cute! :D lol hes like "wtf is going on"

  • I want a cat like that

  • i love cats

  • @animalsalways102 you ARE annoying as hell. Cecilia can be IN my bloody bed for all I care, cause it's all fake. I was supposed to be dead way back in 2002 when someone posted this shit on a AOL chat room. You fail -_-

  • @TwilightBellaForever ha um i believe its YOU the one that fails since I believe i posted that on this OVER A F*CKING YEAR AGO!.

    good job freak :)

  • your cat looks just like my cat!!!!

    i have a video of her on my profile

  • all tux cats look alike.. lol!

  • cats are the strangest creatures. but most definitely entertaining. :)

  • KITTY!!!!!!!

  • My cat got freaked out over a pair of my shoes one time. He walked by them, and for some reason they didn't look right. He decided to do war with them, and kept backing up and coming forward to box at them, and then jumped back, and came forward to box them again.

    He was terrified, you could tell; but he just wouldn't leave them alone. Finally, after he determined that they weren't going to "get him", he walked away. But is was so funny I laughed until I cried.

  • one time i think i stepped in "racoon dog" or fox poop around a mulberry tree and my cats were terrified of my sandals for a couple days and wary for a week

  • Thats Looks My Cat XD

  • that's funny. My cat jumps at everything..even if you just move your arm or something! Cats are funny!

  • omg mine too..like he'll be at the door and I will move my head and he will make this sound and run out the door, and then he'll come back and I will move my arm wrong and he runs again..I think it is so entertaining..dogs wouldn't do that haha

  • Kittens will also do this in play, especially younger ones...it's funny when they puff themselves up and start doing that lil side hop stalking just before they pounce on that "dangerous" catnip mousie!

  • hahaha - kittens

  • i dont understand cats. when i stroke em, they usually claw me to bleed!!! :(

  • you go right for the good spot to quickly. It"s too intense. Try a long firm but gentle stroke from bottom to top. No? Top to bottom. Pussy...cats, right? Top to bottom

  • LOL! And isn't it a shame that you had to add the disclaimer? The pet vids really bring out the judgmental jerks. I had to make the comments needing to be approved on a couple of mine.

  • My cat used to pose like this in front of a mirror when she was a little kitteh :)

  • does no one read the caption... funny cat i've seen em do that kinda thing befor. usualy when a kitten bugs a big cat enoughf.

  • omg, anyone who thinks this is animal abuse, shut your fucking mouth, you've obviously never owned a cat in your life...anyone who has knows they're completely retarded sometimes. I have four and love them all to death...sometimes they just have these little spaz attacks...and I laugh at them cause it's funny.

    GREAT VIDEO! Just ignore the douche bags ragging on you...

  • all cats who want to have fun behave like this... well at least mine and yours ;) (mine does it when i walk into the room, the next thing is that he is "playing" with my feet/socks :). cute kitten!

  • Comment removed

  • @DansHavis @DansHavis You fail. Go home. My cat does this when you give her a cat nip toy.

  • oh its not scared, its pissed

  • When my cat scared he jumped on the wall and avoided me.

  • @toastyovens I think you mean RSPCA. And while you're at it, go have a talk with them. They'll tell you it's normal.

  • The only difference is that my cat is a girl

  • My cats do that all the time...when they're hyper and playful...it's hilarious!

  • nothing abusive happened here. I assume the people leaving negative comments, have never had a cat or just don't understand how cats behave.

  • She looks exactly like y cat !!

    Watch my vid to see!

  • kittens are scared by everything.

    why do people always jump to the conclusion that these people are animal abusers? for goodness sakes. some people are sick but don't paint everyone with the same brush!

  • @beanminion

    They're called trolls, fag.

    *wink*

  • lol
