Epic fail! Poor little kitty. That’s what my kitten does, except it’s in the direction of the dining room table.

10 Katrina 01.27.09 at 2:55 pm

Poor little thing… and you know he went and tried it again.

12 Michelle 01.27.09 at 2:58 pm

Poor baby.

13 Delaina 01.27.09 at 2:59 pm

ha ha ha!…… I laughed so hard my sides hurt and my eyes watered. There is probably a special place in Hell for people who laugh at kitties crashing into doors. See you there!

14 meleah rebeccah 01.27.09 at 3:02 pm

that was crazy cuteness

15 Acacia 01.27.09 at 3:03 pm

16 Mia 01.27.09 at 3:04 pm

I LOLed an unexpected LOL but also a LOL of sadness ~_~

17 charliewabba 01.27.09 at 3:05 pm

Tooooo much funny. I am a bad person.

19 David (the first one) 01.27.09 at 3:11 pm

Just how tiny is that kitteh?

20 Fegli 01.27.09 at 3:12 pm

Hahaha it’s so awful to LOL at this but cats are indestructible… the only thing that gets injured is their dignity. Love the Black Beauty-esque rear at about 00:04

22 jen 01.27.09 at 3:16 pm

“Not Clear!”

i want to pick up kitty and make sure she’s ok. what a cutie!

23 ButtaRumCake 01.27.09 at 3:16 pm

LMAO @ NOMTOM!!! Good one!!!

24 Gail 01.27.09 at 3:23 pm

Talk about “Failure to Launch”!!!

Currently, my youngest (9mos) Helen is recreating her early kittenhood by trying to scale my living room curtains. Grrr!!

25 firepikachu 01.27.09 at 3:23 pm

I literally screamed! Poor kitty!

26 Meers 01.27.09 at 3:32 pm

Aw, we all have bad days. (head pat)

27 Kristabelle 01.27.09 at 3:42 pm

I totally did not see THAT coming! hahahahahaha Poor kitty!

28 Hon Glad 01.27.09 at 3:53 pm

Oof I felt that. Kitty looks very stubular, a Munchkin mayhap?

29 Lise 01.27.09 at 3:58 pm

awww!! Poor little baby! I felt sad and then I giggled! now I’m gonna watch again!

30 DumBunny 01.27.09 at 3:59 pm

It’s not often I LOL at something, that one got me, poor kittie.

31 Jezebel 01.27.09 at 4:01 pm

I sure hope he learned his lesson!

32 Jennie Mello 01.27.09 at 4:02 pm

omg I have been having so many days like that lately, kitteh.
“Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!”

33 chanpon 01.27.09 at 4:08 pm

Bwahahaha! I love it when kittens get clumsy (vs. their usual grace and miraculous ability to get on top of just about anything).

One of mine tried to jump on the sink this morning, but accidentally landed on a hair clip I placed on the edge. He quickly slid off, and ran off to hide from embarassment. Poor baby – they’re usually not hurt, save their little bruised egos.

34 nads 01.27.09 at 4:14 pm

In theory this is cute/funny but today it just made me sad. One of those days,I suppose.

35 Katiedid 01.27.09 at 4:18 pm

lol Poor kitty with its stubby legs, tiny tail and bad depth perception..

36 lsuhillary 01.27.09 at 4:19 pm

Ha,Ho, Ho, dodge, turn parry, thrust…Yoiks and away..crash!!

37 Rachel 01.27.09 at 4:26 pm

This is so ridiculous and horrible. I’m in the library trying not to laugh hysterically. I am sending this to all of my friends. Its the “bang” at the end that really gets me. I hope he’s not hurt!

38 superboymom 01.27.09 at 4:30 pm

1 down . . . 8 lives to go!

39 claudia 01.27.09 at 4:38 pm

I’m going to hell… but I don’t care… LOL!!!!!!!

40 Linda H. 01.27.09 at 4:42 pm

It’s hard not to laugh. Ouch.

41 Jimbeaux 01.27.09 at 4:44 pm

Agreed, this is one of those few moments that is a little sad, a little cute, and very silly. I would love to give the little guy a hug and say, “That’s okay, you’ll get it next time!”

42 LisaL 01.27.09 at 4:52 pm

ROFL…. I can’t stop laughing.. I’m starting to cry now. SO funny, SO cute!!!

No nuffers pls! That kitten was totally fine and you all know it.

43 LazyKat 01.27.09 at 4:52 pm

There’s just something about the posture of it’s ‘flight’ that is too amusing for words.

Poor kitty! When the Greeks were going on about Comedy and Tragedy, I don’t think this is what they had in mind… But it’s close enough!

44 Chris 01.27.09 at 4:53 pm

My kitty has only one eye, so he fails a lot. He sits on the couch and swipes with his paw to try and hit the coffee table. Poor kitty.

45 whiskers 01.27.09 at 4:53 pm

mew…*rearing up*…meeew…*CRONSH*

46 Looloobelle 01.27.09 at 5:04 pm

Oh my god seriously guys, watch it again – it is even FUNNIER the second time!
Mew…CRASH! (We are none of us getting into heaven)

47 Katrina 01.27.09 at 5:05 pm

Oh, it is so true- we have all done that one way or another-literally or metaphorically. I think we can all identify with the little bugger. The kitteh is fine, they bounce. But I’ll bet you s/he tried again and again mewling all the way to get out! That is one pathetical, but oddly musical little mew-er s/he has there.

48 starling 01.27.09 at 5:06 pm

Hahaha!

I’m sure it bounced, they always do.

49 Annie 01.27.09 at 5:15 pm

For me it is the little butt wiggle before the failed launch. HEhehehe poor cute little fuzzy kitten

50 MEGarde 01.27.09 at 5:17 pm

I tink dat’s why dere squishy when dere kittehs.

51 Noelegy 01.27.09 at 5:23 pm

Delaina, do you ever read Nicole Hollander’s comics? According to her, we will have to answer for it when we go to Heaven. There will be an angel with a clipboard wanting to know if we ever laughed when our cats tried to jump on something and missed.

52 Theresa 01.27.09 at 5:39 pm

When my little Dante first came home at twelve weeks old, we optimistically put him into a kitten play pen. One SPROING and he was on his way to the kitchen.

53 Shadyman 01.27.09 at 6:10 pm

I LOL’d.

Thanks for making my day, Meg.

54 Laura 01.27.09 at 6:13 pm

Oh the leg dangle during the jump is way too cute. Little kitteh pantaloonettes.

55 auntyb 01.27.09 at 6:13 pm

When any one of my six kitties does something dumb like that, they take a couple of steps, sit down, lick their front leg, and look at me as if to say “What, I meant to do that!” then calmly stroll off with tail straight up in the air while I’m laughing my butt off.

56 riolinda 01.27.09 at 6:16 pm

awww.. poor thing! i can’t help but giggle!;)

57 Von Zeppelin 01.27.09 at 6:46 pm

Wile E. Coyotekitteh.

58 gryt 01.27.09 at 6:52 pm

Possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

59 Zombie 01.27.09 at 7:06 pm

That was a pretty good jump even if he did miss. Bet he can make it next week.

I’m sure kitteh was fine – nonlinear scaling and all that.

60 emily rachel 01.27.09 at 7:18 pm

there is entirely too much nuffology going on here. come on peeps, kitty is probably fine.

61 kodalai 01.27.09 at 7:35 pm

True fact: Kittens are made of cartilage and rubber.

62 Juniper Jupiter 01.27.09 at 7:36 pm

AWWWWWW!!!

Lurve the mewww!

LURVE the mittens! :D

Didn’t lurve the thump, ackshually. :(

Owch.

63 Kelly 01.27.09 at 8:13 pm

HAHAHAHA!!! The funniest part is the part they didn’t show – the part where the kitty stands up afterwards and swaggers away like “I meant to do that.”

64 Loris 01.27.09 at 8:24 pm

Cuteness WIN.

65 yaya 01.27.09 at 8:25 pm

What gets me giggling is not the crash at the end, but that you can hear him sliding down the door.

You just KNOW he’s on the other side going, “now how do I extend those claws again?”

66 Boomer's Babysitter 01.27.09 at 8:32 pm

On the third viewing (yes, I know…), I noticed how CLOSE those front paws were to the top of the door. Kitty will have it mastered and conquered by next week, easy.

67 Theo 01.27.09 at 8:36 pm

…or by the very next jump.

68 victoreia 01.27.09 at 9:17 pm

Poor baby!

(Some advice, kid: you need a running start. And leaping *closer* to the gate is important!)

69 Elle 01.27.09 at 9:22 pm

This is NOT funny. That sounded like it hurt and shame on the person filming.

70 Jessica 01.27.09 at 10:46 pm

hahahah, each time I watch it, it cracks me up! (i had to stop though because i’m at work) so adorable with its little legs, hehe. how far of a jump was it??

71 harmony 01.27.09 at 10:56 pm

OMG this reminded me of my poor froday, he did almost the same thing the first night we had him (it was a dresser) awww

72 harmony 01.27.09 at 10:57 pm

froday? opps I meant friday!!

73 Melody 01.27.09 at 11:58 pm

What is WITH CO today posting these cruel/sad things?! Come ON! It’s not cute. This isn’t funny. Kittens’ limbs are fragile and they don’t know their limitations yet. This kitten could have easily broken one or more legs.

74 luvspupstoo 01.28.09 at 1:33 am

Why is the word ‘fail’ so funny now!? Where did it even start!? I did LOL unexpectedly too!
I’m sure the kitteh was fine and sailed through the 2nd time.

75 amaretto bunny 01.28.09 at 3:19 am

Elle –

Shame on the person filming? Seriously?

Because I’m sure the camera operator KNEW that the cat was going to jump at the door, and they KNEW that the cat was going to whack its face. I don’t see how you can place blame on the person filming, since he/she has no control over the actions of the cat.

76 Minya 01.28.09 at 3:47 am

@ Chris

My dearly departed Chester was a one eyed kitteh with depth perception problems as well. Luckily he was never much for leaping, but he would sit at the end of the coffee table and swipe at the TV every time there was a show involving fish. Every time Norman and Oscar have an epic fail like this they give me a dirty look and then run away really fast.

77 e-mo 01.28.09 at 4:37 am

oddly, this is exactly what my 5-year-old cat does EVERY times he tries to jump onto something.

sad, really.

but thoroughly entertaining nonetheless.

79 berthaservant 01.28.09 at 5:14 am

Noooooo!!!! I’m not sure why I find this much sadder than the still pics of the aminals flying (which is now closed for comments). Poor kitteh….

80 blair 01.28.09 at 2:03 pm

Maukie go boom!

waaaaa-hahahahahahha!

haha…hmm…sorry. here:

81 blair 01.28.09 at 2:09 pm

Teho or whomever: i swear i didn’t hit enter twice on that. If you’re seeing two please make it one and then make this one not be any more thanks byebye.

82 bev 01.28.09 at 2:48 pm

But, but…the cat *chose* to abuse itself! We can’t nuff the kitten, can we?

I adopted this little feral kitty who never quite got over her feral-ness. She was racing around the house once – as even tamer cats are wont to do – and tried to jump onto a handrail that overlooked a flight of stairs into the basement. She missed. By a lot. I mean, basically she jumped OVER the handrail and down about 10-15 feet to the basement. She knew what was on the other side of the railing – she would jump onto it from the floor and look over, so…

Sure, she could have been hurt but she was fine. Came up the steps all “I meant to do that” and strolled past us to the food dish. She lived another 16 years after her dive into the basement. Of course, she never did it again…

83 Renee 01.28.09 at 3:29 pm

This needs to be filed under “cute or sad”!

84 Kathleen 01.28.09 at 3:38 pm

Poor kitty! :(

85 catloveschanel 01.28.09 at 4:03 pm

Go, Cat Go!

Maybe kitteh should wind up tail more before next attempt.
Cat’s tell me that’s the most important part.

86 Carolinafern 01.29.09 at 4:44 am

I want to tell the baby to get a running start. She just springs up like a kangaroo. Soo cute, i will bookmark it in my i’m having a bad day file.

87 cachorro 01.29.09 at 12:46 pm

Kitten, we lof you so moshe.
Want to go to Sonic? We can
have a nice outdoor table and be a comfort for each other.

88 Lauralu 01.29.09 at 7:46 pm

Awww poor silly little thing! I laughed so much though lol

89 carla 01.30.09 at 8:02 pm

that’s sick.

90 Jackie 02.05.09 at 9:46 am

The “Ker-PLOP!” at the end is lol.

91 Str4y 02.28.09 at 12:20 am

Seriously, people!
Kittehs are tough! Most baby animals are pretty darn tough so that they CAN survive incidents like this without seriously injuring themselves before they really learn what’s outside of their limitations. If a every kittenfail was followed by horrible injury, kittehs would have died out long long ago.

It’s funny because they do it and live to tell the tale. And look so embarrassed afterward. That’s funny too.

92 Mayla 03.03.09 at 6:39 am
