Not a blinker, eh?

Whoa, the way his pupils change size when he gets excited is almost freaky.

Awesome find. I love it when cats are in this state. It makes me laugh how they can go from lackadaisical to bionic in 2 seconds.

Woah!

Favorite one is 1:33; looks like it just shoots up heroin.

Now you know why cats love to play. Adrenaline boost!

5 minutes of a cat sitting in a corner "wary?" No more damn cat videos!

^I respect people's different opinions and taste. But I think ObsidianFire is downvoting my recent cat videos just out of spite. You've got problems with cat videos being sifted here? Alright then, nothing I can do about that. But that's still YOUR problem.

If you didn't want to see cat videos, don't watch it. It's clearly labeled 'catsanddogs', thumbnail has cat images on it, and the title & tags clearly say the word 'CAT'. Why watch something you know you're not gonna enjoy and bitch about it later? Whose fault is that?

^(grabs mic from legacy) EVERYBODY CALM THE F DOWN!!!! CALM THE F DOWN!!!!

ahem... anyhow... its obsidian's prerogative to whine and downvote for whatever reason just as its your prerogative to share a 5 minute video of a wild-eyed cat repeatedly pouncing out over a camera in dramatic fashion. I upvoted, but admittedly didn't make it through the whole video.

Must... absorb all... light...




ps. You just KNOW he's watching a Cheezburger.

It's IssyKitty!

I downvoted on your cat videos because the sift is already overflowing with them. It's clogging up the rest of the sift. This is Videosift not Videocat. I'm just tired of seeing it. It's an easy way to make a top 15 and I think that's sad when we have other videos on here talking about Large Hadron Colliders and studies about how and why we sleep. You know, intelligent things. I don't like that the videos that let people think aren't getting very many votes and the videos that dumb people down are getting a ton. It's my opinion, so I downvote. That's the point of downvoting. If it were out of spite, I'd be downvoting ALL videos wouldn't I? It's nothing against you, and I know how it feels to have your video downvoted, but I've just had enough of it. So I'm being less passive and more aggressive. I do have the right to do that here, that's the point of the sift. If people don't agree then so be it. But that's what I feel and I'm not going with the crowd here.

We can always just assume OF's downvote counteracted choggie's upvote and have choggie beat him up...

Besides, it's not really Wary Cat, more like Locked-On Pounce-Cat...

^It's Calico NINJA!

Well... more like spotted white tabby... or something lol

Exactly the opposite reaction here - that scares the hell out of me. You do know there are 500+ lb cats in the world, right? Tigers and lions? Yeah, they kick our asses. I'm so glad we have guns (and whatnot).

How exactly does this dumb us down? I'm guilty of having a (briefly) top-15 cat video, of absolutely no intellectual value, and I can't fathom how you think it could have been guilty of impacting anyone's mental abilities in any way. Cats frequently do weird shit and some people get a kick out of watching that - so what? Actually, per earlier in this comment - slap on a title screen with "NEVER mess with large cats if you aren't *certain* they can't get you", shorten it quite a bit, and end with a "The more you know" outro and you've got a useful PSA. So there - this might actually smart people up.

Everyone can vote any way they want to. Don't knock on OBF because he didn't like the cat-video.

*asian kittyyyyyyyyyy

Adding video to channels (Asia) - requested by JAPR.

i need to find that video on why we sleep. its the question that drives me.

The tubes aren't clogged. Other than taking up a slot on the top 15, what is the damage cat vids cause? None. What is the joy they bring? Much!

Sorry, if people like cat vids (like me) then they should absolutely be in the top 15. If you like vids of the LHC and sleep theory (like me), then go to the science channel (like I do).

Sift to channel, that's the way it works. The top 15 will represent the lowest common denominator, that's just how it works. Feel free to downvote if you object to people enjoying cuteness, but I for one think it's strange to expect anything else.

Beware the video that will feature both cats AND Obama. It will shatter the vote record for sure

I love how it appears to just go into hover mode as its entire body flies into the air and dosnt seem to land.

X cat is Y

Don't forget atheists. And Yahtzee. Yahtzee's wisecracking Obama-supporting creationist-smashing cat will destroy the sift.

waste of five minutes

has anyone ever observed cat eyes to do this? is this manga-mation here?

Yes, cats pupils get real large just a moment before they pounce. If you're playing with a cat, this gives you a seconds warning that you're about to get bloodied

Is the techno remix of this cat video still on the sift? I can't find it.
