Hey, kids! What’s fun for a girl and a boy? Clicking that button to the left, then starting the video, that’s what.

Cats are so silly…

2 Paunchie 06.11.09 at 11:58 am

Is this an encore presentache?

[Call it a "reboot" ;) - Ed.]

3 liz 06.11.09 at 12:01 pm

That cat has the coolest markings!

4 Ogeminijune 06.11.09 at 12:01 pm

Slinky cat!

5 Elaine 06.11.09 at 12:05 pm

I’ve heard of feather dusters, but kitty dusters?

6 Babs 06.11.09 at 12:09 pm

a little too much catnip I would say

7 papagenothehedgehog 06.11.09 at 12:13 pm

NO BONES!!!!!!!!

8 carol m 06.11.09 at 12:15 pm

now the whole staircase BELONGS TO KITTY! (as well as the hand.)

9 Katiedid 06.11.09 at 12:24 pm

Heheheh.. I wonder if this is like the cat version of OCD.. you know like how some humans have to walk in a doorway a certain number of times or can only turn left.. :-D

10 Amy 06.11.09 at 12:24 pm

Uh oh, silly kitty apparently swallowed a Slinky!

11 HP 06.11.09 at 12:25 pm

Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway,
Calling a name that’s lighter than air?
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it’s Kitty.

12 Kristabelle 06.11.09 at 12:26 pm

That was an itch that just could not get scratched…

13 Laelya 06.11.09 at 12:27 pm

HP: That’s TOTALLY what I thought the title was referencing at first.

14 Not That Mike The Other Mike 06.11.09 at 12:30 pm

@HP: Now I’m going to have that song in my head all day (which is not necessarily a bad state to be in :-) )

15 gary 06.11.09 at 12:35 pm

The owner of this cat is japanese by the way.

16 J. 06.11.09 at 12:38 pm

Moral of this tail: Never use catnip upstairs.

17 Susan 06.11.09 at 12:48 pm

I loved the final, opposite-side-of-stairs slither.

18 Kristen 06.11.09 at 12:51 pm

I want to see this done in pairs!

19 Martha in Washington 06.11.09 at 12:52 pm

Hey! My cat does that too. Only our stairs are carpeted so she can’t glide as easily as this one. So what is it exactly about Cats and Stairs? Just wonderin’.

HP–that song is what went through my head first too instead of the Slinky song.

20 Significant 06.11.09 at 12:53 pm

THAT WAS AWESOME

21 dub1 06.11.09 at 1:04 pm

Thanks for the brainworm, NTMTOM!

for the abovers:
‘Whaaaat rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, and runs over your neighbor’s dog?,
What’s great for a snack, And fits on your back?
It’s log, log, log.

‘It’s lo- og! It’s lo- og! It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
It’s log, it’s log, it’s better than bad, it’s good.

‘Everyone wants a log, you’re gonna love it, log, come on and get your log,
Everyone needs a log, needs a log, needs a log…
From BLAMMO!!’

22 crackjob 06.11.09 at 1:14 pm

Pretty nimble for a cow.

23 ournewoldhouse1 06.11.09 at 1:15 pm

Yay! What a goofy way to go down stairs. Cat doesn’t seem bothered. :)

-Kelli

24 Wend 06.11.09 at 1:27 pm

My first thought… Kitty’s pouring himself down the stairs.

25 SamanthaM 06.11.09 at 1:29 pm

Dub1!!!!!

Thank you! I thought of Log first, and was actually surprised to hear the Slinky song.

26 cheshirekittehkat 06.11.09 at 1:39 pm

I wonder if Kitteh goes back up the stairs the same way? :wink:

27 Maureen 06.11.09 at 1:42 pm

The cat is just reminding us (by marking) that is does, in fact, own everything in the house including the stairs!

28 Mary (the first) 06.11.09 at 1:48 pm

My first thought is that she’s lonely .. verrrrrryyyy lllooooooooooonnnnnneeeelly if you get my drift. This kind of squirmy rubbing against everything looks like she’s in heat.. to me. No catnip necessary.

29 Blondie 06.11.09 at 1:51 pm

LOL! Brilliant… Now someone needs to dub in the Slinky song. That would be priceless!

30 Christabel 06.11.09 at 2:02 pm

Obviously s/he needs a back scratching.

31 leslie thomas 06.11.09 at 2:13 pm

Alternative Photo Title:

“Look at MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!I’m a PRINCESS!!!”

**& I must say, that if I got a head rubbing like that, for my performance, I would gladly perform the same way …

32 One Eyed Daruma 06.11.09 at 2:15 pm

Christabel… My thoughts, exactly!

33 luscher 06.11.09 at 2:18 pm

does he always act like that after being hosed down with Endust ?

34 chanpon 06.11.09 at 2:23 pm

“It’s slinkat, it’s slinkat, it’s fun, it’s a wonderful toy. It’s fun for a girl or a boy.”

35 jill 06.11.09 at 2:26 pm

that kitty needs to be petted more often!

36 pyrit 06.11.09 at 2:28 pm

I usually check if my noodles are done by picking it out with a fork and throwing it against the wall…
…What?

37 katiegill80 06.11.09 at 2:32 pm

That cat is basically petting itself. How self reliant!

38 Happiest Apple 06.11.09 at 3:24 pm

redonk!

39 Decca 06.11.09 at 3:33 pm

And this is why I love cats, because they are so weird.

40 Golden 06.11.09 at 3:34 pm

Pyrit…… wha??

My cat does this on every surface available.. walls, chairs., cupboards, beds, legs.. walls. The funny thing is, sometimes he doesn’t really turn his head in time to do the RUUUBBB.. so he bonnks his head against the object. Seriously. BONK. Meowww. BONK.. Meowwww.. He’s siamese, so he tells you about it as well.

41 squidlette 06.11.09 at 3:36 pm

That is the funniest cate I have ever seen. Is that the “safe” way to descend?

42 Frida 06.11.09 at 3:38 pm

Oh my god, she looks like a slinky =)

43 Mr M 06.11.09 at 3:44 pm

I do believe that this is certain scientific proof that domestic felines are neither traditional liquids or solids, but rather are non-Newtonian fluids, much like oobleck. I know because of my learnings.

In short, d’aww, lookit the kitty, he thinks he’s a slinky!

44 Raidell 06.11.09 at 3:54 pm

I think that kitty is part of the Ministry of Silly Walks, only he’s taking it to the EXTREME! He’s not even walking!

45 berthaservant 06.11.09 at 3:59 pm

I’m guessing the stairs are made of catnip. AND the kittie wants “company.”

46 sunnymum 06.11.09 at 4:03 pm

Freaking hilarious! I love cats! How fun, how innovative, how cute!

47 Teresa 06.11.09 at 4:21 pm

GIGGLE :) Kitty was saying “I had an itchy back to scratch.” :)

48 nismo 06.11.09 at 4:55 pm

Cats are so weird sometimes. Cute and weird.

49 Pheas 06.11.09 at 5:14 pm

So now the part about “it makes a slinKITTY sound” makes sense!

50 WendyPinNJ 06.11.09 at 5:23 pm

That’s probably one of the nuttiest things I’ve seen a cat do, ever! But at least it gets good rubbies on all it’s different surfaces!

51 Carrie 06.11.09 at 5:44 pm

Haha. My cat does this same thing… or at least he tries to. We have carpeted stairs so the slithering effect is harder to pull off… he just sort of flops down one stair at a time.

52 lesley 06.11.09 at 5:44 pm

it’d rule if his/her name was “log”

LOL

53 Theresa 06.11.09 at 5:52 pm

Oh yesss, the Noodle Kitty! I was the original sender-inner for this! My moment of CO GLORY!!!!!!!

54 alexa 06.11.09 at 5:56 pm

1st thought- too much catnip?
2nd thought- just got back from the Vets?( he or she is now an it so to speak )
3rd thought- hmmm, find a soft cat sweater so cat can dust stairs at the same time.
Years ago when my sister brought her cat home from the vets (getting the cat fixed)the cat was still so loopy that she only made it up two steps then sat down and yowled, My sister made up a bed for her in a laundry basket so she could be where ever her peoples were because the cat kept trying to follow my sister from room to room.

55 DaytimeDeb 06.11.09 at 5:58 pm

This reminds me of the boneless chicken ranch/Farside by Gary Larsen. Boneless kitty — but has slinky inserted instead of skeleton!

56 pyrit 06.11.09 at 6:35 pm

Rubber soul.

57 pyrit 06.11.09 at 6:50 pm

Hi Golden! Wha’? Oh that? Y’know, half the time, even I don’t know what I’m saying!

Great story about your funny siameezer!

58 arbed 06.11.09 at 6:56 pm

Love the kitty’s colouring!

59 Dave 06.11.09 at 7:18 pm

lol its the slinky cat

60 puddlepeppers 06.11.09 at 7:43 pm

61 platedlizard 06.11.09 at 8:01 pm

Cats are strange.

62 ksully 06.11.09 at 8:05 pm

Someone scratch that kitty’s back for God’s sake!

63 Dianne 06.11.09 at 8:56 pm

Thats right folks…..it’s the new swiffer stair sweeper !!!

64 Janice and "Ralph" the Wonder Llama 06.11.09 at 8:56 pm

NTMTOM: Genius! The music was the Purrfect Touch. :-D

65 spaceaged 06.11.09 at 9:37 pm

Nice spot! Spot or Scratch would be a good name for that cat.

66 Kar 06.11.09 at 10:14 pm

At first I was afraid that we had back leg issues. Thankfully we’re just really silly.

LOVE that pet at the end.

67 Risha 06.11.09 at 10:56 pm

I thought of Log first too!

68 Bashful 06.11.09 at 11:37 pm

That’s a Turkish Van cat! A very smart creature.

69 Subhangi 06.11.09 at 11:44 pm

ROFL. Cats are goofball extraordinaires. Silly kitty!

70 Patti 06.12.09 at 12:21 am

@HP – you are so right – as I was watching the video I was “singing” that song to myself – this is way before I saw your comment – now I am stuck with the song.
Last day at College today – I think – Open University in October – but most likely – I’ll want to get me a Kitty first

71 Rach N 06.12.09 at 1:57 am

TOO FUNNEE!! Kitties can be so silly sometimes! And soooo kewt at the same time :)

72 jackie31337 06.12.09 at 2:02 am

This just confirms my theory that cats are actually a liquid. Oh also, there may be a cat in my future! My boyfriend just adopted a kitten. I have yet to see pictures, but I’ve been assured it’s adorable.

73 unci 06.12.09 at 2:15 am

every day is a good day when you start it with inventing a new and unique way of going down stairs!

74 Michael Claymore 06.12.09 at 4:55 am

It’s a new low in feline laziness – why walk down the stairs when you can just roll?

75 T.U.M. 06.12.09 at 5:30 am

At first I thought it must be a CH kitty, ’cause mine can get pretty floppy sometimes. But then she seems to walk normally at the bottom, so she’s probably just trying to scent the entire stairway. Cats are efficient like that.

76 pyrit 06.12.09 at 5:37 am

Silly Putty – tat.

77 Katiedid 06.12.09 at 5:44 am

alexa- I think they make those for babies!! lol (the dusting sweaters)

78 Carlisa 06.12.09 at 7:19 am

A *Kitty Roomba* for stairs- me likes!

79 opossum 06.12.09 at 8:17 am

That black spot on my back!
Getitoffme!!

80 maralisil 06.12.09 at 8:29 am

aawwww! Dat’s just a lovie cat making “nice kitty” all over the place! “Look at me! I”m pretty!” :)

81 KBinTo 06.12.09 at 8:47 am

That’s Full-body Property Marking and Extreme Self-gratification/abuse.

We’ve seen it before.

82 adri 06.12.09 at 10:26 am

cute! i wonder if she’s in heat though
my cat acted crazy stupid when she was in heat

83 riolinda 06.12.09 at 1:04 pm

such a funny kitty! loved it! :)

84 Rompus 06.12.09 at 7:42 pm

Soooooooooooooooo cute♥

85 trumanrabbit 06.13.09 at 6:33 am

You missed a SPOT. Hi yo!

86 Teresa 06.13.09 at 4:57 pm

GIGGLE :) If I had a cat that did that, I would call him/her “Slinky” :)

87 pyrit 06.14.09 at 9:30 am

From the Great Book of Slapstick, it’s the old Stairway of Banana Peels gag.
Listed after anvil and before frying pan.
Maybe it was the old rubber chicken but they had no chicken?

88 nywvblue 06.15.09 at 5:56 pm

The audio / video pairing smacks of GENIUS. Must’ve watched this a dozen times by now! Thank you, brilliant ones at CO.

89 Edward Murray 06.16.09 at 8:14 am

There’s an easy way and there’s the Siamese way!

90 Jackie 06.17.09 at 2:53 pm

Nice Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends reference! Um, well at least I think that’s what it is.

91 Carlisa 06.18.09 at 7:52 am

oh…my..radda radda!

92 Carlisa 06.18.09 at 8:09 am

ummm…if you can get your “kitty” to this, mebbe he’ll post ;)
