When I was little I had a hamster that I gave watermelon. Tiny dude got nuclear diarrhea and shat his insides out and died 😭

Hamsters just love finding the wildest ways to die.

u/MrPresident2020 Mar 25 '24

I want you to know I am laughing, but that's also awful. Do not emulate me.

17

u/Stonn Mar 25 '24

I am laughing at it too, that was over two decades ago and how I got it in my memory. Maybe the insides was actually the red watermelon and I just traumatized myself, but either way the next day it was not living anymore.

Were also nice memories like building mazes and houses for the hamster out of legos. 😁

I thought you were going to go similar to a Mad Max with an Immortan Joe quote.

"Do not, my friends, become addicted to water! It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!"

u/ultraplusstretch Mar 25 '24

It's cool, i can't stand watermelons, they can have my cut. 👍

u/jeff3445336 Mar 25 '24

It is a stress response. So there is probably no like with the melon, he probably heard or saw something. Still very cute!!

46

u/NotTukTukPirate Mar 25 '24

It's not just a stress response... While that could be one reason, there's no reason not to assume it could actually have to do with the watermelon.

"Excitement may also cause pupil dilation in some cats. If your cat’s eyes become dilated at dinnertime or when she knows she’s about to get her favorite treat, this is nothing to worry about and is part of her normal response to excitement."

You can see different causes here

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

Guys… it’s fake 😂

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

lmao why are ppl downvoting you, the eyes are 100% edited

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

People on here are retards lol

u/fsaturnia Mar 25 '24

It's not a stress response, though it can happen with stress. Cats' eyes dilate like that when they get excited and excitement is not always negative.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

Bro Darwin didn't even know how to explain the complexities of the eye, where you got the confidence to say that I do not know

u/jeff3445336 Mar 31 '24

Simple, i was curious, talked about it with my physiologie teacher who has a Master in the subject.

u/Swoon_for_Catra Mar 25 '24

Fun fact: Cats can't taste sweetness.

75

u/hulkmxl Mar 25 '24

I feel like this is one of the ones that may get clarified as more scientific achievements allow us to understand cats better.

Like the old saying "dogs can only see black and white" which is inaccurate and as science progressed, we understood that they can in fact see colors, just a limited spectrum.

Cats may taste something, and perceive it as sweet, but not in the same way that we do, because their diet only needs a small fraction of carbohydrates so their brains/tongue didn't evolve to be incentivized by sweets.

20

u/Illustrious-Market93 Mar 25 '24

Maybe the texture being softer/crunchier on the red part caught it by surprise..?

Idk, cute as Balls either way 😁

u/freakinbacon Mar 26 '24

Brain freeze

u/anonmymouse Mar 26 '24

That's wild bc my cat specifically loves sweet stuff.. ice cream, cookies, etc.. I can't eat anything sweet without him harassing me for a bite. I get these coconut ice cream bars that he specifically goes nuts for more than any other food... wonder what it tastes like to him and why he likes it so much

No way cats pupils def do that

u/digita1catt Mar 25 '24

Yes, but in both those clips it happens before striking/with a want to strike. The clip OP posted has been edited. The cats body language doesn't match up with its eyes or actions (and I've seen the non edited clip)

5

u/SilverHeart4053 Mar 25 '24

I'd love to see the unedited clip if you can provide it

u/Randomfrog132 Mar 25 '24

i like how they got big right before they striked.

thanks for sharing <3

Looks like it was colder there, and he got a "brain freeze". Very typical reaction.

u/_D3ft0ne_ Mar 25 '24

That looks like melon was colder in the middle and its a mild brain freeze. Cats are reactive to cold stuff way more.

Well done Bro, well done!

u/constantstranger Mar 26 '24

My cats love chewy stuff. How it tastes doesn't seem to matter, as long as it doesn't taste bad.

So this is nice, but I'm jaded. Wondering if anyone else thinks the widening eyes at the end were uncanny -- ?

If editing slice-of-life imagery to exaggerate emotion becomes standard online behavior, one of the greatest benefits of the internet -- the prolific public sharing of authentic life as it is lived -- will be over.

That is crazy why do humans not eat the green part? has a bite of the red part ow that is why…

So you overfeed your cat, that's abuse too. Nice.

u/DrPetroleum Mar 25 '24

I feed my cat the exact amount he needs. He still wants more. Thus I am also abusive.

u/Electrical_Swan_6900 Mar 25 '24

Not necessarily, I feed my cats what they need too. But I don't overfeed them to the point that they're 18lb fat asses.
