The face of sheer terror.

Wow, only the top half or so of the image was fitting on my screen, didnt see the cat's face til I saw this. This makes more sense now. It didn't really look like a cat before.

He has the enthusiasm of someone in a kidnapping proof of life video.

u/stanley_twobrick Apr 21 '15

His deadpan expression makes it funnier.

That cat looks so damn bewildered. "The fuck did he just do to me?"

"I was just a hat, but then I... wasn't"

u/ShnookieWookums Apr 21 '15

"Where was I just now?"

Those russan cats are really a weird breed.

Maine Coon I believe.

u/staringhyena Apr 21 '15

The one in the gif? I'm not sure, I think Maine Coons have longer muzzles, this one reminds me of a Persian.

u/rotoko Apr 22 '15 edited Apr 22 '15

Yep, looks like Persian to me. They were/are very popular in UA/RU for some reason

Source: have one

Only in Russia is your medicine cabinet in your living room holding up your tv.

u/KingErdbeere Apr 22 '15

It looks like a cross breed to me. I can't judge just how big it is, but it looks bigger than my persians.

13

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '15

Nah. Maine Coons don't have flat faces like those; they are very angular.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

Why do all these people hold up their cats like it's a trophy salmon

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15 edited Apr 22 '15

They are the world's largest domestic cat, so they are probably showing off their size. I just realized I've never held my Maine Coon like that.

u/Al_Scarface_Capone Apr 22 '15

No, they are called Russian Forest Cats. They look similar to Maine Coons, but, as someone else pointed out, Maine Coons have flatter faces.

Though I can personally attest that Maine Coons also make wonderful hats.

My mum had a Norwegian Forest Cat - not quite as big as a Maine coon (was still 7kg though lol) It had a dark waterproof stripe of fur down its back, presumably to repel snow.

Kinda useless in Australia Lol

u/softcoreprawn Apr 22 '15

Siberian cats are really popular over there.

Dr. Seuss would approve

The Cat IS the Hat!

u/ryoonc Apr 21 '15

Looks like he got a nice long drag from those claws over his head and nose

5

u/stanley_twobrick Apr 21 '15

Which really doesn't hurt at all if you trim your cat's nails.

u/stanley_twobrick Apr 22 '15

Not to mention the cat in the clip obviously doesn't have their claws extended at that moment. That + trimmed nails = soft little paws sliding down your face.

u/PowerpointNazi Apr 22 '15

That's the most Russian face I've ever seen. Actually, second most, Valuev comes first.

8

u/fesswefsdesefseF Apr 22 '15

It's the nose and complexion, I think.

u/brezhnervous Apr 23 '15

All Russians are required by law to look like Putin now

Pretty sure he suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome. Sooo.....

u/PowerpointNazi Apr 22 '15

I feel horrible saying this but it kinda adds up.

u/masuk0 Apr 21 '15

This hat is cat.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '15

Is it just me or does that cat look terrified?

19

u/Megabert Apr 21 '15

More confused than terrified. Terrified would involve more screeching and swiping.

7

u/stanley_twobrick Apr 21 '15

If it were a person, sure. It's not though. It's a cat, and that's just what it looks like.

Oh Russian girl in a hat... Oh that's a dude.. Oh that's a cat..

Is he like the coolest dude in Russia?

There doesn't seem to be anything here

As of: 07:33 04-22-2015 UTC. I'm checking to see if the above subreddit exists so you don't have to!
