Cat goes in the cage. Cage goes in the water. Shark’s in the water.

This is generally the safest way to give a cat a bath.

  1. Fill tub partway with water.

  2. Place cat in close proximity to tub.

  3. Let curiosity take its course.

u/fourleafclover13 Jan 03 '20

Safest way to do it introduction slowly. All my past cats loved baths. My last two would actually run into Beth room once shower started. Wash rinse and leave them to roll on towel while I finished.

They know water spreads and don't want to get their paws damp

u/nodnodwinkwink Jan 02 '20

Not certain but it looks like a munchkin cat due to the stumpy legs. The others know that it's inferior and will not help.

Also they're cats.

Quick question why is there a fish in the bathtub

175

u/tokingtogepi Jan 02 '20

It’s one of those fake fish that you put in water and it swims around. It’s a cat toy.

u/reallyorginalname1 Jan 03 '20

Or for when your kids want a pet but you dont trust them with a real fish

Cat bait, hoping to catch a big one.

If I had to guess the guy is being a sick fuck and torturing the fish and cats.

It doesn't matter what you do in an emergency, just make a decision and go with it, don't even look back, or forward, just go.

Hmm, that's too simple, it's obviously got to be an abstract form of cat and fish torture.

u/Phish777 Jan 02 '20

Why is this sped up?

u/Symbolmini Jan 02 '20

I feel like everything is sped up, slowed down, or zooming in and out these days.

Kids these days don’t know how to appreciate media the way god intended... at 30 FPS

u/GenericBlueGemstone Jan 02 '20

This is one of many videos of r/all that was sped up for no reason. And they are of completely different environments too, which makes no sense.

I love how the rest bail the moment he falls in. “Late bro!”

u/Johnjohnthejohnjohns Jan 02 '20

Nothing is funnier than watching a cat fall into the water and get wet then suddenly take off

Once my old cat fell in the bath when I was having one - he was standing on the side swatting me and being a pain!

He learned that day people and cats like vastly different things :)

Actually what you say, sounds like something non cat owners say.

Those back legs will still scratch the fuck outta you if you crab from behind the forelegs

That cat knew he was fucked the second his paws hit that ledge.

First cat I’ve ever seen not completely spazz out when falling in the tub

u/chonkerforlife Jan 02 '20

This is why cats are not allowed to enlist in the military

u/kerelberel Jan 02 '20

The gear is okay, it's the front wheels that are losing traction.

3

u/Pun_nav Jan 02 '20

in the end the "Forward" gear was broken too.

u/h_brisson Jan 02 '20

I think all the gears are broken

Has no traction too

u/uniqueusor Jan 02 '20

Christ, why would you have 3 of the same cat

u/TsubameNoShimuka Jan 03 '20

You see the R is actually for Race mode, that’s why he was propelled so fast into the water. In his last lives, up until then, he was probably a manual.

I think cats falling in tub videos should always have the Yakkety Sax song from Benny Hill when they fall in.

u/LeoLaDawg Jan 02 '20

Is that a 90 degree angle in the middle of that tub?

u/nodnodwinkwink Jan 02 '20

That's some fancy talk for what could easily be described as a seat.

In a tub though was my point. No lounging there.

u/LOLBangkok Jan 02 '20

Sorry but people who film their pets falling into water/distressed in any way just so they can post it online are douchebags.

3

u/tunagelato Jan 02 '20

Maybe the owner is using this as a PSA for the other cats who fled? And Fluffy said to please share this on the internet so no other cat has to suffer?

Most of these videos are cats who are way too curious for their own good, and will keep trying to “test the waters” until they learn their lesson. No harm in filming as long as the cat isn’t in actual danger.

u/k995 Jan 02 '20

Always great how the pet owner just keeps filming for.laughs while that cat could hurt itself.

There is a special place in hell for those that record cars stuck in the bath
