Except, the idiot guy seems to be the only one high on something. My cats will play like that without catnip as do most cats I've known.. With catnip they tend to do more amusing things like chase their tail, act much more noticeable stoned, plenty of rolling around and stretching. These cats seemed to be barely under the effects, though I guess maybe they don't play at all without catnip?

Amusing to see this after reading this comic a few days ago:

westy, the data to display doesn't follow similar paths from the video card to a CRT compared to an LCD. Any component in those 2 paths could cause one to be much slower than the other. The image isn't taken directly from the gfx card.

It's also highly possible that in this comparison he used some things known to cause such delay. Either using a vga cable to connect the gfx card, or running it at a non-native resolution requiring the LCD to rescale each frame to fit the native LCD resolution. Both of these introduce lag, but there could be any number of other components processing the signal to get it onto the display that could also introduce lag.
