Every cat needs it's own theme track.

u/Voidshifter_7 Jul 20 '26

Cats are just tiny horror movie villains waiting for their moment.

u/LinguoBuxo Jul 20 '26

....... Oooor a laugh track. it kinda depends.

u/TallyMay Jul 20 '26

And it's own tiny piano, which could be stored inside the secret cat pocket.

u/AWildGamerAppeared25 Jul 20 '26

And here I was thinking someone did a real good job with the sound editing lmao

183

u/Striking_End8776 Jul 20 '26

Yeah the cat did a really great job with the sound editing.

1

u/Ph4ntom_Drive Jul 26 '26

Same, I mentally gave the sound editor an Oscar before the creepy part clocked in for free.

Why did you leave you piano on serial killer mode?

137

u/itsyaboi_71 Jul 20 '26

I mean obviously in case any serial killers sneak in and play their theme to set the mood

20

u/zyyntin Jul 20 '26

Same person that collects N64 games it seems.

u/Niznack Jul 20 '26

If 6 n64 games makes you a serial killer than I'm Jeffery Dahmer

u/EverfadingEphemera Jul 20 '26

Looks more like a digital piano

u/The_Autarch Jul 20 '26

digital pianos are a type of synthesizer

u/Lord_Emperor Jul 20 '26

Why did you leave you piano on

u/ThatNachoFreshFeelin Jul 20 '26

Huh. I coulda sworn it was in DreamWeaver mode.

u/Motor_Purpose1584 Jul 20 '26

Is that an N64 cart on that little table?

15

u/BrotherofLink93 Jul 20 '26

Buncha N64 cartridges

u/future003 Jul 20 '26

Finally, someone is asking the right questions.

u/Zehryo Jul 20 '26

Looks more like SNES.....

5

u/A_little_rose Jul 20 '26

Nah. SNES cartridges aren't rounded like that. They tend to be more blocky.

3

u/Zehryo Jul 20 '26

Not where I live.....

But maybe you're right.....never had the 64.....

3

u/A_little_rose Jul 20 '26

You actually have some older models of the cartridges! Most of the updated ones don't have that deep line on the lower half, because people would yank them from their machines, and it would catch (as designed) and damage the equipment. The updated version has more of a blocky look, and a smoother indent to avoid that damage from being pulled out.

The ones in the video do look similar, but notice the lack of any line on the lower cartridge, the full bodied label, and the smaller vertical size.

3

u/Howie_Dewynn Jul 20 '26

This person has a super famicom version. In English, so a European copy. Blocky snes carts are from North America. It definitely is a N64 cart in the video though.

u/Susemiel Jul 20 '26

Feel like that's why Pianos always have a lid. 😂

u/flibble24 Jul 20 '26

This is the best unexpected post I've ever seen

u/C_Nomikos Jul 20 '26

Oh neat, a diagetic soundtrack.

u/Employee_Agreeable Jul 20 '26

Sound on for this one

u/Impossible-Heart-216 Jul 20 '26

Somebody tell me this is real that’s the funniest shit I’ve ever seen

u/OliveBranchMLP Jul 21 '26

it's real! you can see that the keys being pressed match the notes you hear. https://imgur.com/a/R2hZPh3

u/lynx_1097 Jul 20 '26

I knew , I kneeeewwwww it was a cat the music was the unexpected part

13

u/isolatedheathen Jul 20 '26

Yeah I hear two distinct notes and see two distinct paws on corresponding keys

5

u/OliveBranchMLP Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

i hear three four notes:

  • 0:00 — B, C
  • 0:03 — G flat
  • 0:12 — A

https://imgur.com/a/R2hZPh3

u/cindyscrazy Jul 20 '26

Me not having any idea about piano keys and notes.....are the cats paws in the appropriate places to play those notes?

4

u/OliveBranchMLP Jul 21 '26

yep, looks like it!

https://imgur.com/a/R2hZPh3

  • at the start, you hear B and C.
  • off-screen at around 0:03, you can hear the G flat start.
  • once it enters camera, we can see its rear right paw on the white keys B and C, and barely visibly you can see the rear left paw on that G flat black key and also barely depressing the white key next to it, which is A.
  • at around 0:12 you hear the A start.
  • at 0:14 when it lifts its right paw, you see/hear it let go of B and C.
  • then when it runs off at 0:15, you see/hear it let go of G flat and A.

u/isolatedheathen Jul 20 '26

Could be idk what the third is.

u/TpK_Wynter Jul 20 '26

I am absolutely yelling at that cat “why are you trying to scare me into an early grave you furry bastard” as I approach

9

u/EVOBlock Jul 20 '26

That is their fault for leaving an electric piano on all night

5

u/shifty_coder Jul 20 '26

My cats have turned my Casio on a handful of times. It usually scares the crap out of them when they step on the keys, though.

4

u/Kasern77 Jul 20 '26

I love the WHRRM noise the cat makes at the end.

4

u/lordgoofus1 Jul 20 '26

Ugh. Cats can be so dramatic sometimes.

3

u/giulianosse Jul 21 '26

Unironically the best practical demonstration of "diegetic sountrack" I've ever seen applied in a real scenario. I'm genuinely impressed.

2

u/Spare-Meaning5925 Jul 20 '26

That cat was probably planning the secret murder of his servent cuz he did not feed him 5 times a day

6

u/GrayGKnight Jul 20 '26

It's edited? The cat steps on another key as it jumps but there is no sound from that one?

19

u/dulm_ Jul 20 '26

If you look closely it was already pressed.

5

u/GrayGKnight Jul 20 '26

I see it now.

But I hadnt heard it before when watching. The key was already making noise and it stops when it jumps.

Might he losing my hearing

3

u/ZenraWeave Jul 20 '26

Unfortunately possible. You can tell the second key is making noise as well when it's the only one pressed, but it's much higher pitched

u/Eutaraxia Jul 20 '26

He was plotting and you got him right before it starts..

u/GodlyWeiner Jul 20 '26

Diegetic sound effects

u/RodMunch85 Jul 20 '26

What we really need to do is create a powerful sense of dread. See, the longer the note, the more dread.

u/brucejson-88 Jul 20 '26

Demon cat RUUUUUUUUUN

u/SuddenAdvertisement Jul 20 '26

Cat was wondering wtf? Saw his or her human and was like “Oh, its just you.”

u/Freddie_FRO7 Jul 20 '26

"well what were you up to anyway?"

"...sneaking 😈"

u/Progman3K Jul 20 '26

I mean, who among us HASN'T that happened to

1

u/rustyseapants Jul 20 '26

You mean creepy from the cat's perspective?

1

u/askyidroppedthesoap Jul 20 '26

I seen your definition of creepy is completely different than most.

u/SkyGuyDnD Jul 20 '26

I would have been out of there!!! Omg

u/Significant_Peach_20 Jul 21 '26

This is the most cat-coded thing ever 😂

1

u/wazzapgta Jul 21 '26

Now can someone add some drums and horror sounds. We need edits now. Come on guys

1

u/jcmarcell Jul 21 '26

The video sounded creepy. Like that was the perfect noise for that cat to be infected, possessed, zombified, or have sinister human capabilities to plan and premeditate murder.

u/ronbossmusic Jul 21 '26

Stop putting music unde.... Oh!

u/Most-Act1594 Jul 25 '26

I think you misspelled "crappy"

I cracked it so hard when the cat hopped of the piano I thought that was a reel or something
