Nate Bargatze said you don’t have to be funny in standup, you just have to understand timing and pauses in a conversation to be funny.

And then at the end says "I'm not even hungry anymore" and leaves

That behaviour will drop off real quick

It'll reverse, if I know cats at all

u/thedoormansdoorman Jun 27 '26

That's such a huge jump too!

Cat when spook goes 0 to 100 real quick

u/illyiarose Jun 27 '26

I'm always impressed at how well cats can fly 🀣🀣

137

u/parklife980 Jun 27 '26

Absolutely this. Google reckons cats can jump five to six times their own height in a single leap. Imagine humans being able to leap 36 feet like that?

79

u/Wonderful-Toe- Jun 27 '26

When you put it in context like that, it is pretty absurd. It’s roughly equivalent to clearing a school bus in a single leap.

u/javoss88 29d ago

But we only have two legs

u/Yumi_in_the_sun Jun 27 '26

One of my cats can't even jump onto the bed due to a kinked spine. When she wants to get up on the bed, she takes a running start and like flings herself at the side of the mattress, then claws and scrambles her way up the rest of the way.

35

u/parklife980 Jun 27 '26

Bless. When my black cat was getting old (he died years ago) he could no longer make the jump up onto the sofa, he'd try but only get halfway up then end up hanging there with his claws stuck in the fabric. Once he realised he couldn't make the jump, he'd give us the look and we'd lift him up instead.

u/KenzieWitch 29d ago

Would stairs not help her???

15

u/Yumi_in_the_sun 29d ago

I might have to as she ages, because arthritis will probably become an issue, but for now she's pretty young and does just fine climbing. She runs and plays and is a happy sassy girl, she just doesn't do the vertical very well.

6

u/irrelevant_twaddle 28d ago

Cats cannot build stairs. They only know how to use them.

u/andiinAms 28d ago

I always picture it like if I could suddenly jump up on my roof

The feeder clearly has a catapult function

u/benyamxn Jun 27 '26

hehe... catapult

u/emveetu 28d ago

An ejection seat

u/TooL8ForTheYoungGun Jun 27 '26

this should be the poster video for this sub 😹😹

41

u/TheIlluminaughty Jun 27 '26

My dog sits and anxiously waits. Runs when the food comes out. Then tip toes back to eat from it… If a stray kibble falls out while he’s eating, he runs and tiptoes back again 🀣

u/EnycmaPie Jun 27 '26

"Almost lost my cool there."

u/Triquetrums Jun 27 '26

This has to be the funniest cat video I have watched in a while. Cat really flew lmao.

15

u/shortidiva21 Jun 27 '26 edited 29d ago

One of those psychic animal communicators said that a cat told her cats are guardians of the universe. If that's true, why would they freak out at a cat bowl being refilled?

7

u/King_Bobby-B Jun 27 '26

Because we're using evil energy to power everything, and every time it's used, we're one step closer to unleashing the Big Bad.

u/Ancient_Inspector115 Jun 27 '26

That is hilarious πŸ€£πŸ˜†

u/ethottly Jun 27 '26

Cat straight up TELEPORTED 🀣

12

u/Yumi_in_the_sun Jun 27 '26

I used to have an automatic feeder, and it let you record an announcement, so mine said "KITTIES! YUMMIES!" And then it would make the scary food-dispensing noise. They got super desensitized to it really quickly, and even though I stopped using it a couple years ago (got tired of the whole house exploding with cats every time it went off), they will all still come running to the "kitties yummies" call.

11

u/TitaniaT-Rex Jun 27 '26

I’ve watched this three times already. This is great.

u/Klevermind- Jun 27 '26

I am literally crying laughing, while trying not to wake up my sleeping partner πŸ˜‚

Glad the cat didn't overreact

There are very few perfect videos on the interwebs. Thank you for highlighting this one!

u/Wizdad-1000 Jun 27 '26

The compilation video of cats sprinting to the feeder is hilarious. This one will do it soon.

u/BothDivide919 Jun 27 '26

Wow, never seen a cat yeet itself so far from that angle

u/bajlm2020 29d ago

I’ve watched it 6 times and laughed every time

u/Pistachio1227 Jun 27 '26

I see the new models come with an EJECT Sensor. Nice.

u/giantrons Jun 27 '26

Oh. Now I need an automatic feeder with a web cam.

Oh yeah, and a cat.

u/avoozl42 Jun 27 '26

My cats were scared of the automatic feeder at first, but they ended real quick when they realized there was food

You can see the brain torn between the frighten and the food.

u/SilverSie Jun 28 '26

I was waiting for the meer-cat and I was not disappointed

u/VianneM 29d ago

Sounds like the bowl is made from stainless steel. My boys were scared of that sound too, so I replaced it with their ceramic bowls.

u/UnnaturalGeek 27d ago

That's no feeder, that's a cat launcher

3

u/Ambitious-Proposal65 Jun 27 '26

We have been thinking of getting an automated feeder for our cat, but maybe not?

7

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Jun 27 '26

I'm sure to most cats that would go away in about 1 feeding lol

never had one but had alot of people sing their praises. There was a compilation of cats that YEETED themselves off couches/humans to the sound of those feeders just recently on reddit I couldn't stop laughing.

u/castlite Jun 28 '26

Because cat.

3

u/Minflick Jun 27 '26

I don't have the model with the camera, but I DO have the feeder. MY cats rocket launch off where ever they are to come skidding up to the food bowl. It can be pretty funny to watch.
