Return of Ninja Cat!

The steps of the ninja warrior must be as silent as the morning mist upon the ground.  To avoid detection, he must be as still as the midnight air.  He must be as fearless as — GAAAHHH NOOOOO GIANT HAND GIANT HAND RUN AWAY!!!

    For all their aloofness, kitties are fun as all heck to play with.

    Dilate! Dilate! Dilate a la Puss-in-Boots.

    A cat that doesn’t bite the hand that feathers it…obviously not filmed in MY house.

  4. SW says:

    “I’m telling my mommy, you scared me!” Cats really are the best at enteraining us humans!

  5. SW says:

    Sorry, guess I forgot to run “spell check” – “ENTERTAINING”

    Crouching Kitty, Hidden Feather

    Coming this winter. In theaters across the country.

  7. Jiffknee says:

    Apparently, actually having the feather is not nearly as interesting to kitty as the stalking. Well, for us, too.

    It’s like an interspecies Red Light, Green Light.

  8. Desdemona says:

    I just have one question: how did these people get such spic ‘n span clean floors, and can they come clean my house?

    I guess that’s two questions.

    On another note: perfect cat stalkings and butt wriggling engagement — kitty needs a WWI ace helmet!

  9. Berg says:

    Kitties are so wonderfully silly sometimes! This was a great way to start my day.

  10. Emerson says:

    I love how he pokes his head out for the second go-round. Good comic pause.

  11. Anne says:

    My Master! My Master has returned! :)

  12. metsakins says:

    O what us hoomans do to entertain ourselves.

  13. Pam says:

    Great directing! The camera angle was perfect for the set up…Hilarious!

  14. jen says:

    one, two, three RED LIGHT!
    one, two, three RED LIGHT!

    such a cute kittie!

  15. Zanna says:

    Desdemona, I’m afraid you have to start out with really nice, somewhat new floorboards to get them that way. I could scrub my beat up 75 year old hardwood floor with a stiff brush on my hands and knees and it would never ever look that way. Some genius once re-varnished the floor without cleaning it thoroughly first and sealed in the filth for all time… what can you do? At least this place isn’t as maniacally clean as Maru’s pad… that actually freaks me out a little :)

  16. Rachael says:

    Clearly, the stalking is funner than the prize. He looks so disappointed when it turns out to be a dopey feather held by his hooman. I’m surprised when he comes back for Round 2.

  17. Theresa says:

    That hand’s dynamite!

  18. January says:

    Wow…check out that instinctive hunting behavior. Impressive.

  19. Katrina says:

    That doesn’t work with Killer-although she’ll go anywhere for the laser pointer!
    Great puddy-tat!

    ButtaRumCake- I’m sending wonderful and happy thoughts your way. I’m glad we’re friends.

  20. nyota says:

    I always run when I see The Giant Hand, too.

  21. ButtaRumCake says:

    My Tika (RIP) used to do this too…the butt wriggling cracked me up to no end LOL
    The peek around the corner had me LOLzing very loudly!

    @Katrina – thanks again!! I’ve got my head held high :o ) *hugs*

  22. BenPanced says:

    Kitteh looks like it has such soooooooft kittehfur! Wanna pedda kitteh!

  23. kzgz says:

    what amazing stop-motion that kitty demonstrates!

  24. Miaoosers says:

    His eyes. His pretty little eyes! ^-^

  25. Melinda says:

    It’s like the kitty version of red light green light!!!

  26. Marianne says:

    lol I would almost say this video is better than the first only because we can see just how expertly the kitty creeps and stops when the feather can “see” him. love it!

  27. L says:

    hehehehehehehe… sooooo cute!

  28. HEHEHHEHEHEHE Ilove this … and @ Gizmo BWahahahahahah!

  29. DaytimeDeb says:

    Love it! Especially 1:09 where he peeks his head out. Kitties just can’t ignore that ‘scratching’ sound, whether it’s a feather against furniture, or toes under sheets in bed (I wouldn’t recommend trying that last one kids).

  30. T.U.M. says:
  31. fft5305 says:

    OMG that is hilarious!! Kitties are soooo cute!

  32. fft5305 says:

    Excuse me…. Kittehs…

  33. Mabimab says:

    I like the “blinks” he/she gives the feather. “Oh, hi! *blink* I was just looking…”

  34. wuyizidi says:

    Oh, a creeping kid. Hey don’t go, I want to cast you in my next film – “The Creeping Kid”.

  35. Argyle Donkeypants says:

    Maybe it’s time to start thinking about a Luurkenschproing tag?

  36. Tigress says:

    Hmmm. I wonder if feather-rubbing-wood sounds just like mouse footsteps?

  37. Kristabelle says:

    I think they’ve played this game before!! Too cute! I love that kind of kitty – white and gray. I know other colors of kitty have names – marmie/tabby/calico, does white and gray have a name too?

  38. Sher says:

    Wow, the reflection in the wood is great! And how the kitteh seems to forget all about the previous stalk when there’s an opportunity for a new one! Cool.

  39. ornith says:

    Kristabelle: “needs-a-new-tuxedo”?

    And yeah, I totally thought of red light green light too!

  40. Jiffknee says:

    @wuyizidi

    Excellent reference! Best Izzard evar!

  41. wuyizidi says:

    @Jiffknee – thank you. That first show is still his best (“cake or death?”).

  42. Juniper Jupiter says:

    BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAH……***deep breath***…..AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! XD!!!

    That was too cute!! :D

  43. T.U.M. says:

    @Kristabelle

    In my family, we call them Dillos. It’s because the stripey back and soft white underside made me think of an armadillo’s shell. So, “Armadillo cat” got shortened to “Dillo.” Or, “Dilla” for girls.

    This Dilla look like my dear departed Steve. She enen had the smudge on her nose.

  44. I remember playing Red Light Green Light and I added Yellow Light into the mix: when someone yells ‘yellow light’ you move in slo-motion!

  45. chanpon says:

    Where’s the requisite scary stalking music, as with the terrifying stalking cat video?

  46. Noelegy says:

    Awww, them’s some wackadoodle eyes, yes they is…

    [Penny for your thoughts... - Ed.]

  47. Teresa says:

    :lol: That is one brave Ninja Cat :lol:

  48. KatieZ says:

    Argghh.. I already saw this on EbaumsWorld[dot]com. Still good for another viewing, though.

  49. blair says:

    green light!

  50. Kelsois says:

    I love it!!

  51. noel says:

    that’s so cool how cats move like that… mr. sneaky!

  52. lmjbre says:

    I love it! Especially the part where kitty looked SO disappointed when he reached the feather. “Oh. It was you. Great.” And then when his little head poked around the corner for round 2.

  53. Heheh. Love that cat. He/she would probably do really well “in the wild”. ;)

  54. Ellen W. says:

    I love how, at around 0:49, he hears the feather scratching and his head doesn’t move but he leans toward the noise.

  55. mella says:

    this is adorable!

  56. Rach says:

    that cat is PRECIOUS!!!

  57. Mpls Deb says:

    Some music would have been great. Something suspenseful…maybe a little “jaws” music.
    The hunting instinct is wonderful to watch.

  58. IAFL777 says:

    This is SO cute! I laughed so hard I got a headache! But that’s a GOOD thing!

  59. erin says:

    hahahaha that made me laugh so much! priceless!

  60. Kim says:

    This cat is the perfect combination of neurotic and stealthy!

  61. Katrina says:

    Is it ‘luurkensproing’ when it is elicited? Hmmmmmm…

  62. Lil says:

    what a poker faced cat! love it!

  63. Lil says:

    and he doesnt even blink when stalking. double love it.

  64. Deanna says:

    What a cutie! My kitty does that but she runs at you and scares you to death! hahaha! SO love kitties!

  65. kaleena says:

    wth o.o

  66. Homer says:

    “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”
    Aw, crap.

  67. Mor Riemer says:

    The video has been taken off!

    [Um, no. Try again. - Ed.]

  68. Tindi says:

    I love the very end where he tries to act like he’s all casual after he runs away from the giant hand. *RUNRUNohwait I’m a CAT. Saunter…*
