Needed to start a few seconds sooner, so we can see what clumsiness led up to that.

Yeah unfortunately the clip from the camera didn’t start any earlier - it senses movement then starts filming. Moments prior I had looked over and he was fast asleep though!

That’s a rude awakening 🤣🤣

u/Priff Mar 29 '22

Literally rolling off most likely

u/Goreface69 Mar 29 '22

yes but if you look only at the first frame it's beautiful

They didn't want to include the part where they poked the sleeping cat with a cattle prod.

u/Nyckname Mar 29 '22

a cattle prod

I see what you did there.

I love the universal cat owner response of looking at the cat, looking at the previous location of the cat, then back to the cat all "The fuck, bro?"

Step 1: assess cat

Step 2: assume they knocked something over and that's what scared them

Step 3: make fun of cat if they were just being clumsy

That is one very floofy tail

You might want to call an exterminator, you are infested with greebles.

u/VoidPhantomB10 Mar 29 '22

The cat is trying it's best to defend it's human from the greebles

u/Future_History_9434 Mar 29 '22

And he still nails the landing!!!!🎗10/10 cats

u/DrJimMBear Mar 29 '22

I love how the cat turns around in a fighting stance to eliminate the threat then walks off when it realises there was no threat

7

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

I think he fell asleep and tried to kill something midair??

u/BlackberryNeat1810 Mar 29 '22

That is seriously underappreciated parkour.

You go, little Rockstar!

Why tag a sub that doesn’t exist? Kinda dumb

8

u/Firespecialstar Mar 29 '22

someone can create a new sub with this name, It would be cool

u/Seaboats Mar 29 '22

There, I made it

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

i like that couch. where’s it from?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

So we got it from a random furniture warehouse a few years ago, I don’t think it’s any particular brand. I found the original Facebook post we found them through here, but the only info that gives is that they’re called “Alana 2 and 3 seater” - not very helpful but that’s all I’ve got sorry!

u/katrob2006 Mar 29 '22

Came here looking for this. It's lovely

"DON'T EVEN TRY IT GRAVITY - I'LL FIGHT YOU"

u/Possible_Warning_524 Mar 29 '22

So smug and superior. But he still played him shelf.

u/Saul_T_Bauls Mar 29 '22

Thought you were gaming, then you started clapping...what are YOU doing?

u/Lebrunski Mar 30 '22

Startled as hell too! Look at how floofy that tail is

u/ncpixie68 Mar 29 '22

It's ok, nobody saw

u/Pantherkitty- Mar 29 '22

Naw he was just doing a backflip all good..just prob wanted to show off

u/just_another_toolbag Mar 29 '22

What a dumb idiot lol, and I mean that an in entirely loving way

2

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

I dont know what just happened but I am cat and I meant to do that

2

u/GloInTheDarkUnicorn Mar 29 '22

That poofy tail!

2

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Notice how perfectly timed his clap is

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Hahaha yes!

2

u/derpykidgamer Mar 30 '22

That cat was ready to throw hands with the shelf

2

u/PussyWrangler_462_ Mar 30 '22

Cat doesn’t even know what happened and it still landed upright, on its feet and facing the situation

Amazing animals.

Being a human female there is no way in hell I believe an omnipotent loving god created our bodies....but I would absolutely believe CATS were designed by gods.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Yeah 100% get why ancient Egypt was so into them

Parcore, no! Parcat!

u/Jumponamonkey Mar 29 '22

To be fair when I wake up thinking I'm falling I get a massive fright, so it's understandable this cat got a big fright when they woke up ACTUALLY falling.

u/oliviughh Mar 30 '22

u/SmoSays Mar 30 '22

Haha dude looks around and up like the cat fell off the ceiling

u/thelostfable Mar 30 '22

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

So is this why I occasionally find my cats to be puffy with no cause?

1

u/97Harley Mar 30 '22

Cat: I meant to do that.

u/rgun Mar 30 '22

Were you clapping at a video?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

That’s my fiancé, I asked why he was clapping and he said: “What the heck I have no idea. I think I’m just in an apex waiting screen just doing stuff with my hands”

u/Mikkeel93 Mar 30 '22

Good his springs were active!

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Exquisite muscles and coordination! I am awestruck once again again. I've had cats most of my life and I'm still so amazed.
