I feel like most cats I’ve met in my life would have mauled me to death, had I tried that
I suspect that this cat was declawed.
Notice how he grabs the scruff of the cats neck each time to prevent bites.
The cat is helpless to the tickles and can only bat away with its paws.
There’s just no way it can get that aggressive without a single claw peeking out.
As someone who rough-houses with their cat: No, dude. No. This is just playtime, a lot of cats love that shit and know that playtime and claws don’t mix, so they don’t do it because even stupid cats aren’t often that dumb. You can also trim their claws normally, like you should be doing anyway.
My cat is fully obsessed with me, is currently asleep on my lap, and when playtime comes around will be basically asking me to do this. He will easily switch back to chill mode after, even if it’s me who decides we’re done, and will be back to normal for bedtime.
You’ve either got no experience with cats or have only interacted with cats you’ve thoroughly pissed off because you can’t read their very clear body language.
The aggressive scruffing is bothering me too… And at the beginning when the cat is running away, he’s got airplane ears going and he doesn’t look happy.
I pet my cat’s belly kinda like this, though I never grab the scruff. They’ll scratch and bite you, sure, but it’s never hard enough to actually be dangerous; they understand that it’s play time. You just get used to having a few small scrapes on your arm most of the time.
The video is sped up so it looks way more intense than it probably is.
Yeah, op post is just animal cruelty
You have to teach them as a kitten that hands on the stomach means play time, not biting time. If you give them a pinch a few times when they bite you as a kitten they’ll learn to play gently and if you rub their bellies as a kitten they won’t freak out when you touch their bellies as an adult.
Interesting, I’ve never owned a cat who would hurt me for doing this. (Aside from the occasional cut when they accidentally got a bit too rough.)
Thats why they are holding the cats nape i guess
How long until Nintendo sues OP?
Looks like me and my (of course orange) cat :)
