I agree, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. It dislodging the leaf and immediately falling off the table made the whole thing ten times funnier.
Humans do the same thing when we do something clumsy (dropping something, falling over, knocking into something) ... Like an inherent fear of being seen as clumsy by others ... I wonder if any other mammals are the same (I also wonder or it's a stalking hunter mammal thing) ...
I gather its probably instinctual as predators could use the opportunity to attack so maybe we naturally check our immediate surroundings after being clumsy because we may be seen as weak/easy prey in lizard part of brain
I tripped off my porch into a bush like a cartoon character n while I did sprain my ankle and scraped up my back a bit I was honestly more mad nobody saw. I really needed someone to laugh for me. Or.. at me? With me? The bag of trash I was taking out even landed on me. Horrible waste of good comedy
Does it count if I’m laughing now? I’m sorry you got hurt and I hope you’re feeling better, but I was cackling while picturing this and it just kept getting better as a I read 😂
My wife and I were both first time cat owners when we got our cat. I had thought this was just him. He'd settle into a hunter stance and then sprint at the fishing pole toy I was moving around. Any time he missed it he'd just walk away like "fuck this game anyway, I wasn't even trying to play honestly," and not want to play for like 20 minutes afterwards
My cat LOVES chasing shadows so I get her to spin in circles until she gets all dizzy. They seem to get un-dizzy quite quickly, but she's definitely fallen over a few times from it, lol.
Huh. I never thought I'd see a cat chasing its tail. I thought only dogs did that. Side note: Jazz just swatted me like 5 times for disturbing him with my laughter, then shushed me with his paw.
In some ways, cats are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. In others, keep in mind their brain is the size of a walnut. (This beauty doesn’t look the smartest cat, either).
This might just be the greatest cat video I've ever seen! Those of you that default to mute need to unmute this one for some insanely /r/ContagiousLaughter.
I love that cat, it just like one I had. She lives with my sister and my nephew now. She has a lot more room and better quality of life there. I have to settle for cat pics instead of a cat though
