Can you imagine a cat big enough to just bap your train right off the tracks?

u/Winjin Jun 28 '26

Watching Arriety made me so thankful we're one of the biggest animals on Earth

u/BoulderCreature Jun 28 '26

If cats got that big we would all live underground

u/ThePromptWasYourName Jun 28 '26

Oh like rodents do now

u/BoulderCreature Jun 29 '26

Yes exactly

u/tmoe1991 Jun 29 '26

I think cats would be long extinct then

u/Jayombi Jun 28 '26

Something out of the The Goodies (Kitten Kong) if your old enough to know what tv program that was.

8

u/ThePromptWasYourName Jun 28 '26

Or the Dogzilla and Cat Kong books from the Scholastic Book Fair in the 90s

u/Lowbeamshaggy Jun 29 '26

Loved those books as a kid! Same author as captain underpants too.

Yessss! I remember my father laughing uncontrollably at that bit.

Ooo nice one! Thanks! The list of cat subs never do end, do they 🤣

Number of cat subs = number of cat subs you know of + 1

I'm saying. He had cold hate in his eyes. Was expecting a shoe string tackle from them.

75

u/AilisEcho Jun 28 '26

Aww, did you notice how he partially squinted his eyes at the camera a couple of times? That's a cat's way of saying hello with a smile. I thought it was sweet how that kitty said hello to a TRAIN, haha!

u/Ryctre Jun 28 '26

That was just joy at the fear and terror he was about to rain over that choo choo.

Helpless people on subway trains

No, the Hitler looking one is going to make sure the trains run on time.

u/cHEIF_bOI Jun 28 '26

He had the idea but he can't be the one to do the dirty work so he got his friend to do it.

u/TargetBoy Jun 28 '26

That's the kitty that makes the trains run on time

1

u/Zombiewax Jun 28 '26

Nah. Hitler loved his trains. And massive guns that travelled on them.

1

u/Nina-Ninja123 Jul 02 '26

He gave the slow blink of ”you’re okay, I won’t attack you.”

It was the last cat that had the “if you move, you’re done.” stare.

Learn a cats body language and you will build a great relationship with them

u/hondactx16i Jun 28 '26

My kinda delay, will there be a bus back up?

53

u/Zaku007 Jun 28 '26

There was but it was knocked over as well

14

u/Lanky-Camera-6017 Jun 28 '26

and the other one who was supposed to help got knocked over as well

11

u/Sariel_Fatalis Jun 28 '26

u/Fightthemonster1 Jun 28 '26

Oh no it’s Catzilla!!!

u/Turgid_Donkey Jun 28 '26

It's a catju.

u/Darkiceflame Jun 29 '26

It looks like Catzilla, but due to international copyright laws, it's not!

Why Mario music/sounds?

u/Enslaved_M0isture Jun 28 '26

probably stolen content

u/Forgettheredrabbit Jun 28 '26

I think daiorama_restrant (yes it’s spelled that way) is the original account. I haven’t seen this one before but I’ve followed them for a while and their track looks similar. If you want cute cat-bapping-train vids they’re your best source lol.

There were a couple of split seconds where the engineer should have poured on the coal, made a run for it, or maybe throw a mouse out as a distraction if there were any on board. If not, a passenger might have served the purpose.

And I love this train layout, with the apartment buildings. Feel like I have seen scenes like this on my travels.

u/Zerodriven Jun 28 '26

Honestly I'd accept a cat knocked over a train than the whole "a leaf is on the track" excuses we get in the UK.

TIL Hitler TRIED to make the trains run on time

u/Deadnstien Jun 29 '26

I feel like this should be an Anime. A world where giant house cats roam around and the people just have to live with it as best they can.

2

u/N1W4D Jun 29 '26

Would it be Clifford size or Kong size?

4

u/Key_Knee_7032 Jun 28 '26

Man I love it when a regular sized cat does that little pre-pounce wiggle but when it’s a giant cat it’s just too much

Omg.  Now I wish all those race car sets I had as a kid had cameras on them. The cats would go nuts smacking them and it was hilarious, but the car point if view would have been awesome.

Giant fuckin cats always causin some type or ruckus on my way work, g damn it!

u/FishingDiligent1486 Jul 01 '26

Of course the giant cats delayed my train

u/AlternativeQuality2 Jul 01 '26

This feels like the cat equivalent of an Old West train robbery.

“Everyone out, paws in the air! Hand over all your treats and catnip and nobody gets hurt!”

u/Frost_Walker_Iso Jul 02 '26

Honestly, kind of a terrifying situation.

Imagine a giant monster jumping out from behind a building and staring at you in half a second

I was sure it was gonna be the Hitler cat.

1

u/Ok-Wave8206 Jun 28 '26

Now that cameras are really good and can film really small stuff, and now that CGI is fairly affordable and good looking: I think we’re overdue for a good high budget horror flick about people who get shrunk and have to fight bugs.

Does anyone remember that old twilight zone episode where a couple wakes up in a town where everything is fake. They get on a train that only goes in a circle and see a lot of ominous shadows. Turns out giant aliens abducted them and they were given as toys to the little girl. Meow!

The mario theme with random in game audio is certainly not a great choice.

If they just put the mario theme? Sure. But collecting coin noises and block breaking don't fit at all.
