Awesome Cats

These two furry animals are not enemies – the hamster doesn’t freak out and bail when the cat arrives. But they’re not close friends either, as shown by the hamster’s unwillingness to share.

What would happen if Star Trek were written by and for cats? Perhaps it would look something like this video clip starring Commander Titan and Security Officer Atlas. Beam me up some 9Lives!

If you’ve got a cat in the house, you might actually be familiar with the wake-up technique shown off here by Boo the cat. If not, be glad you aren’t awakened this way every day.

A clouded leopard cub being tickled while it’s sleeping. Guaranteed to melt your heart. You can see this little fella and his other pals at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington.

Poor Arthur had an injury to his ears, and had to wear one of those stupid plastic cones. Needless to say, he didn’t like it one bit – and even once he admitted his fate, he never quite got the hang of it.

We all know that cats can see way better in the dark than we can. Perhaps that’s why this kitteh prefers to have the lights turned off, despite its human’s best efforts to shine a light on things.

Cats will be cats, and sometimes they just need to work things out. But there are times when claws and paws aren’t enough, and they require some bigger weapons. Here, these should do the trick.

Wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas’ BeetleCam is a “lion-proof” armored case that can carry any camera. It can be controlled from more than 300ft away and can send back live video.

This is YouTuber TushiRIT’s cat Tifa. And this is YouTuber TushiRIT’s dog Tifa. Sure, cats can fetch and wag their tails as well, but that stupid look is trademark dog. Now for barking lessons.

We are loving this compilation YouTube user faireset2 created, which works to prove the theory that a secret society of ninja cats exist among us, and are obviously hiding in plain sight.

What happens when you combine dubstep music, a furry cat, a paper mustache and paper eyeglasses? You get sheer genius and a video made for the internet, that’s what. (Thanks everyone!)

Sometimes it’s hard to remember which typeface is which, so the guys over at Sad and Useless have assembled this handy guide to fonts, accompanied by cats. Comic Sans cat is our new best friend.

Despite their size, cats are usually seen getting the upper hand. But put kitty up against this fluffy rooster, and the tables are suddenly turned. Also, proof positive that a good soundtrack is everything.

One thing is certain – the internet loves cats. There’s even a meme about a very long cat. This is not that cat. This kitty just has a really long tongue, and an amazing amount of tolerance for its owner.

The master of chillaxing gets something a little more sophisticated than his usual cardboard hangouts. We could watch Maru climb up and disappear into that tiny house all day.

Image enhancement engineer Brant Widgeon helps bring us awe-inspiring astronomical images. But he doesn’t just have to clean up dust and specks – he’s got a much bigger challenge on his hands.

Mittens the kitten doesn’t grasp the concept of slinking around underneath the bed, and instead, propels itself around in a most unusual way we will refer to only as “catmanning.”

We already know there’s an art to climbing and descending stairs (and escalators). But as is often the case, cats do things very differently, as is demonstrated by this feline’s unusual ascent.

We laughed at this one’s hypnotize-then-attack tactic. This kitten’s version is far more diabolical. We’re starting to see a trend here. Damn cats. We hope YouTuber moongrate is okay.

Maru loves boxes. Sashimi on the other hand loves boxing. And scratching and scaring the hell out of YouTuber Soejima, despite all efforts to make peace with the cat. On Earth what will you do?

We’re not sure what sort of evil ideas this cat has rattling around its furry little head, but all we know is that from the way it’s staring at us, no good can possibly come of this.

Another case of cat bullying caught on camera. This actually happened to us when we were kids. Bruises all over. Not cool, cat. Fortunately the victim here didn’t share our fate and wasn’t injured.

We’re not sure what the original Begging Cat wanted, but this kitty is pleading for your help too. Either he wants the fried chicken in your hand, or maybe little Timmy is trapped in a well.
