  • I'm gonna try it at McDonalds

  • Every day i'm shuffling!!

  • 0.02 ... thumbs... the world is over

  • "If this were a river I was drinking from, I would be riverdancing...I'm waterbowl dancing."

  • 41 people are from PETA

  • my cat does that by her water too. she is trying to get an even standing and trying not to slip tho. i ended up getting her a higher dish and putting a carpet under it.

  • My family has speculated that perhaps black cats are particularly sensitive. I have had two black cats in my life, and the first one was VERY sensitive, and my current one is, in some ways, even more sensitive. Not much of a sampling, but still…

  • Wow... Cats must have foodgasms too!

  • my cat touches the water with his paw before drinking. I don't know is he is trying to check the water level of to feel the temperature...

  • Moon walk kitteh!

  • Now, just dub in Siamsa and this will be perfect

  • it's an attempt to cover his food.He is eating it but at the same time a part of his brain is wanting to protect his food from other cats by covering it or hiding it.My guess is this cat's owner has another cat in the house as well.

  • thats serious but kind of cute, too O_o

  • What the hell? That's freaking hilarious.

  • My cat does this too! I wish I understood why. :P 

  • Kitteh: "NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMwater!"

  • I have water happy cats also.

  • wow people HAVE TO bitch instead of enjoying life's cute moments.

  • ocd kitteh!

  • this is what the movie `happy feet`should have been about.

  • I think his subconscious instinct is to imitate swimming - his is just a bit on the strong side! haha

  • I love cat videos.....however this one was very, very boring.

    Surely, you can do better than this!!!

  • My cats paw around their food and water dishes. I've read they're either following the instinct to "bury" their food, or marking the area with their scent. But as far as I know that's just using the front paws (?). You cat is very sweet, btw!

  • I'll have what kitteh's having!

  • food is so wonderful...kitteh must dance.

  • I have noticed that cats "dig" at the water bowl when they have kidney problems...I've lost too many older cats to kidney failure not to have seen this behavior, and it scares me. Sorry.

  • all this vid needs is some irish music a playin'! Erin go braugh! ^_^

  • theres tape on the bottom of the cats feet probably

  • My kitteh duz it 2... whenever he drinks water... then he gets his front paw caught in the bowl and tips the water over... :P

  • LOL he's clearing the area

  • lolwut?

  • Hahahaha! My kitteh does the front paw digging thing before he drinks his water. I never really understood that. it's as though he is getting comfortable before he lays his fatass down next to the bowl to drink. he is so cute! lol

  • How adorable. He's the Lord of the Catdance ;)

  • I have one that does that too .. with water

  • He needs the toilet soooo bad

  • LOL CUTE!!!!!!

  • Go go polydactyl kitties! <3

  • lol so cute

  • My cat does this around her food bowl after she's eaten. It's just another way to mark their territory. Like when they rub up on your leg. They aren't saying "I love you" they are saying "I own you."

  • a few months ago my cat started doing the same thing this cat does with her front feet. I think it might just be a thing they do, there's no underlying problem there.

  • As the proud mommy of this kitty ( His name is Prince Addington the 3rd, and no, there were none before him, I just like the sound of his name), I can honestly say that 1. it was not a neurological problem 2. He was NOT taken away from his mom too early 3. There was Nothing on the floor.

    He is just a kitty that gets super excited about fresh water. I love all the analyzing though! My two favorites were the neurological problem and him being taken away from his mom too early. Classic!

  • 8D

    Indeed. Now, the neurological argument does make some sense, but what kind of damage would cause a reaction when confronted with water?!

  • YAY! go Atheists!

    but yeah, this is pretty funny.

  • lol! I was just thinking. SORRY! 8D

  • My cat Squishy does almost the same thing but with just her front feet. Then moves the bowl with her head. I've had to buy a heavier bowl so she dosen't tip it over. It's funny to watch her do it!

  • @thebarrowsbunch

    most of those people are probably just parroting things they have read on the internet, and quite possibly have never even had a cat of their own (due to many people seeming to think that you can force a cat to do something),

  • @thebarrowsbunch We had a tux cat who used to do a lot of stroking and dancing around the dish. The kittehs just have their lil' rituals.

  • @thebarrowsbunch Does he have extra toes on his front feet? They looked a little funny. XD

  • @thebarrowsbunch my cat toonces does that also, and only with water...but he doesnt do it with his back paws, just his front.

  • @thebarrowsbunch nice name lol.my cats name is sir hidealot because we lost him for 4 days when he took his foodbowl and hid behind the washing machine. at the age of 3weeks.

  • @thebarrowsbunch that's AWESOME! Give PA3 a Christmas cuddle for me plz? :D

  • @thebarrowsbunch wow this is so fucked up :| my cat does the EXACT same thing when he's about to eat and I can't for the life of me understand why. he's also black and also a boy, lol

  • @thebarrowsbunch My sister's cat Licourice does the exact same thing XD

  • @thebarrowsbunch Your kitty is super adorible! I personally knew there was nothing wrong with him. A couple of my kitties have unique ways to express when they are excited about fresh water or treats XD

  • lol wtf

    Maybe the milk is too cold.

  • food orgasm

  • lol. kitteh gets happy feet when he gets food.

  • LOLWUT???

  • My cat does even better: if you put a sweater on it, it will do the moonwalk!

  • OMG! It's the next Michael Flatley (Y)

  • Or the next Michael CATLEY. Yeah? See what I did there?

  • This puts my cats odd eating habits to shame....

  • LOL it looks as if the cat was making a vid of himself, cuz he walk away from the camera at the beginning

  • This needs some riverdance music with it xD

  • moonwalk

  • many cats will "dig" with there front paws while drinking or eating so this most likely is just a natural habit gone funny.

  • Butter on the feet... =^_^=

  • there HAD to be something on the floor, but waht is waht i am wondering¿

  • well when my sister's cat drinks water sometimes one of her front paws will spaz out...maybe this cat's a little more extreme LOL

  • what in the world  .... O.o

  • I want the biology behind this lol

  • Oh wow.. You (if it is you) are hot.

    But if you think I'm signing up to some website you can forget it lol.

  • Neurological problem?

  • Kitty obviously needs to go audition for next seasons riverdance tour = ) x

  • I don't get it why is he doing it. he doesn't seem to happy about it.

  • i love the pic at the end X-D

  • lol my cat does that paw thing when he tries to get water from his dish..

    i always thought it was entertaining.

    But I guess my cat isn't cool enough to literally dance.

  • Is the floor cold? I love his mittens!

  • What the heck is some thing wrong with its paws

  • go kitty go!

  • lol... and how do you know this.. i would like proof of your resources.. :) .. you mean you fail because you don't even have proof.. and not all instincts remain.. if it was the case how come not all cats do this? please explain i'm curious

  • da fuck

  • I've had cats my entire life, and I've never seen one do that before! Very odd!

  • You need some music with it XD

  • hahaha my cats do this all the time before they drink water!

  • hahaha

  • HEEHEE :) cuute kitteh.

  • hm

    funny kitty =)

  • is it just me or does that cat have wierd back legs?

  • Better then me D:

    and i'm IRISH :(

    Kitteh can dance :]

  • i think it's tape on the bottom of the feet

  • my cat tries to dig holes before he eats too :)

  • lol !!! Kitteh rocks and de best !!! xD

  • Who cares what the point is to this video... IT'S CUTE! x)

  • xD how come the cat does this?

  • wth :(

  • what's going on there?

    its so random... o_O

  • @Jal1515 While very informative, that was also very depressing.. I'm not sure if I want to thank you or hate you :/

  • you can do neither but it's the truth...

  • aaawh :(

  • Not true. In the wild many animals instinctively know that digging a small hole in the mud near a water source will allow them to extract the water. This is useful during dry times, and also to avoid crock's near rivers.

  • lovely :D

  • it looked like that cat had furry pads on their paws so it was probably just loss of traction.

  • dude spare us of the obvious and go hug a tree cry me a river

  • lol no thanks.. i'm not a desperate loner.

  • If cats don't have instincts then why did you just explain the kneading instinct in your original post?

    Everyone has instincts, even humans. The fight or flight instinct is a big one. Do you think about pulling your hand away from a hot burner or does it happen without thinking? We have maternal instincts too. Instincts are part of being an animal.

  • Seriously, I hate how I can't watch cute cat videos without some animal cruelty nonsense sprouting up. There are many other LOGICAL reasons for the cat to be doing this. Like, I dunno, a slippery floor?

    Just relax, okay? I hate when animals are treated wrong as much as the next person, but going overboard (coughpetacough) won't help anyone.

  • lol i never said it was animal abuse.. no one was hitting the cat no one is trying to kill the cat and no one is neglecting it either.. i think someone needs to relax a bit to even say "animal abuse" when no one even mentioned it

  • my grandma's neighbor's cat goes to ma grandmas house and they have a bowl of water for him and he always smacks the water so he knows its there! :3

    kittehs rock!!!

  • Funny stuff! LOL FIVE stars!

  • LOL thats the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen a cat do

  • hahahahaha i love this hahaha so good =D x

  • Mine does that, but only with his left front paw. And only when drinking water. I have no clue why he does it lol.

  • Looooooooooooool

    Catnip?

  • lol my dog does that after he shits

  • that is a diferent thing with you dog..

  • now thats not a cute kitteh, i don't want that in my house, i might wake up with my balls on the floor.

  • cats scratch the floor when something is dirty or smelly....even when it's their own butt :D but looks funny ^.^ never so a cat doing it like this one :-)

  • This made me laugh soo hard. I wasn't ready for it and then I just lauuuuuuuuughhed!!

  • what? no music for the cat to dance to?

  • My cat does something like this too, but only with the front paws.. I think she used to have a feeder tray before we adopted her so she does it out of habit.

  • I almost thought that it was freaking out because of the floor being too cold...garfield! :D

  • i think the cat has neurological problems....

  • looks like the cat is just getting off of a catnip high

  • Riverdance milk.

  • mmmmm must be some good eaten

  • my cat does that too, scratches :) with her water. its so cute :D

  • LOL My mind just went "wtf?" and then I laughed.

  • no music :(

  • Maybe he/she doesn't like the floor and how it's slippery, so they do this funny thing out of a memory of falling on it. Sort of like trying to establish your footing on ice.

  • LMFAO!!

  • LOL my dad was like "What is wrong with that cat?"

  • lol, homophobe

  • And your point is?

  • words can't make this video sillier
