    Cats are plagued by almost supernatural reflexes, no one is more surprised about this than the cats.

      almost supernatural reflexes

      For real, that video of the mama barn cat in India fighting a fucking KING COBRA to protect her litter is out of this world… Even as a cat lover I was hesitant to watch because of what I thought were impossible odds, then she absolutely bitchsmacks it repeatedly and it just physically isn’t fast enough to strike her.

    My cat is a himbo with no fear response, he doesn’t have enough brain cells for fear or mistrust, or landing on his feet.

    On the fourth of July my asshole neighbors were setting off mortars that sounded like actual gunshots and instead of running or freaking out he ran up to the window to see what was happening and get closer to the action. He jumped on the back of a chair because he was excited for treats and knocked it over, causing a chain reaction of chaos, and never was he concerned about anything but getting his treats, I don’t think he even noticed. There are a bunch of loud biker assholes that do a group ride by my apartment all the time and every time they do he jumps up in the window and excitedly meows like he wants to get in on it.
