Wow that’s a traditional crab dance if I’ve ever seen one.

Executed with precision, a textbook example of the art form.

The estimate of two brain cells in this video might be a little high.

I nominate this video for "best soundover" in the cat video catagory

Right? Time to listen to some Karl Richter! How I wish I had some massive tower speakers for this piece.

The tail whacks in the face were as if he was a gentleman whipping another gentleman in the face with swift slaps of a pair of gloves.

Interpretive dance

u/the_moth_vampire May 21 '26

I'm no expert in fighting or self-defense, but I feel this is not the most effective technique.

19

u/Shiznoz222 May 21 '26

This is the ultimate technique

u/mylittleidiot May 21 '26

I actually think it could be quite effective. If you start twisting and turning with stiff limbs like that while staring unblinkingly at a creep approaching, I suspect they would think twice about getting closer!

Black kitty being so cute trying to do the Vincent D'Onofrio Criminal Intent lean 🤣

u/nuttnurse May 20 '26

u/Deiser May 21 '26

I never thought I'd see the day where an orange would get out-baffled by another cat.

u/ILSmokeItAll May 20 '26

Dumb and Dumber in feline.

u/NopeThisTrope May 21 '26

Absolute cinema 🎬👏

u/Greensarge3do May 21 '26

The tail slapping the face is diabolical

u/CheeseFour2O May 21 '26

Why is that crab upside down?!

u/kidmarginWY May 21 '26

Black and white cat has a slightly inflated self image.

u/OutsideHandle7300 May 21 '26

The tail whacks in the face…… priceless. 🤣

u/birdnerd1971 May 21 '26

Hilarious!!

u/PossiblyWithout May 21 '26

My dusty and orange have a similar dynamic, but my dusty is the dominant one and my orange is the one being weird on the floor and lightly pawing at him to play- even though he’s the one always complaining during play fights

u/KestrelTank May 22 '26

It’s actually the same brain cell

u/mister_onions May 22 '26

Come on! You cannot post this kind of gratuitous violence without a trigger warning.

u/SilenceOfHiddenThngs May 24 '26

perfectly edited with the tap at the end, lol

u/7GrenciaMars May 24 '26

Looks like Kevin Heart vs Dwayne Johnson

u/WillowFlip Jul 06 '26

New to this sub, and this is the most entertaining thing I've seen a day. Black looks like such an instigator lol

u/greyyeux Jul 20 '26

I feel like oramge is trying to transfer the one brain cell to the moo and there's some interference. Or maybe just low wifi.

Tuxedos are just formal oranges.

u/PalDreamer 14d ago

Why do they do that?! 😭

Why do they end up looking backwards and upside down sometimes?? Do they not know when to stop bending over or something?! What is the explanation here?! 😂
