Return of Ninja Cat!

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on November 17, 2009

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.

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

5 SW 11.17.09 at 8:21 am

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

Crouching Kitty, Hidden Feather

Coming this winter. In theaters across the country.

7 Jiffknee 11.17.09 at 8:22 am

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 11.17.09 at 8:24 am

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 11.17.09 at 8:25 am

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

10 Emerson 11.17.09 at 8:28 am

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

11 Anne 11.17.09 at 8:30 am

My Master! My Master has returned! :)

12 metsakins 11.17.09 at 8:42 am

O what us hoomans do to entertain ourselves.

13 Pam 11.17.09 at 8:43 am

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

14 jen 11.17.09 at 8:47 am

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

such a cute kittie!

15 Zanna 11.17.09 at 8:50 am

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 11.17.09 at 8:52 am

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 11.17.09 at 9:04 am

That hand’s dynamite!

18 January 11.17.09 at 9:07 am

Wow…check out that instinctive hunting behavior. Impressive.

19 Katrina 11.17.09 at 9:16 am

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 11.17.09 at 9:17 am

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

21 ButtaRumCake 11.17.09 at 9:21 am

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 11.17.09 at 9:23 am

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

23 kzgz 11.17.09 at 9:37 am

what amazing stop-motion that kitty demonstrates!

24 Miaoosers 11.17.09 at 9:49 am

His eyes. His pretty little eyes! ^-^

25 Melinda 11.17.09 at 10:01 am

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

26 Marianne 11.17.09 at 10:02 am

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 11.17.09 at 10:17 am

hehehehehehehe… sooooo cute!

28 kittyadventures 11.17.09 at 10:27 am

HEHEHHEHEHEHE Ilove this … and @ Gizmo BWahahahahahah!

29 DaytimeDeb 11.17.09 at 10:31 am

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. 11.17.09 at 10:42 am
31 fft5305 11.17.09 at 10:46 am

OMG that is hilarious!! Kitties are soooo cute!

32 fft5305 11.17.09 at 10:46 am

Excuse me…. Kittehs…

33 Mabimab 11.17.09 at 10:49 am

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

34 wuyizidi 11.17.09 at 11:00 am

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

35 Argyle Donkeypants 11.17.09 at 12:04 pm

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

36 Tigress 11.17.09 at 12:24 pm

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

37 Kristabelle 11.17.09 at 12:46 pm

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 11.17.09 at 12:49 pm

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 11.17.09 at 1:27 pm

Kristabelle: “needs-a-new-tuxedo”?

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

40 Jiffknee 11.17.09 at 1:50 pm

@wuyizidi

Excellent reference! Best Izzard evar!

41 wuyizidi 11.17.09 at 3:06 pm

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

42 Juniper Jupiter 11.17.09 at 3:26 pm

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

That was too cute!! :D

43 T.U.M. 11.17.09 at 4:25 pm

@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 Hannah Belle Lectre 11.17.09 at 4:44 pm

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 11.17.09 at 6:38 pm

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

46 Noelegy 11.17.09 at 7:53 pm

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

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

47 Teresa 11.17.09 at 8:15 pm

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

48 KatieZ 11.17.09 at 10:56 pm

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

49 blair 11.17.09 at 11:07 pm

green light!

50 Kelsois 11.18.09 at 12:18 am

I love it!!

51 noel 11.18.09 at 12:19 am

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

52 lmjbre 11.18.09 at 3:19 am

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 Barbarella a.k.a. The Mad Cat Lady 11.18.09 at 3:56 am

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

54 Ellen W. 11.18.09 at 5:11 am

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 11.18.09 at 6:49 am

this is adorable!

56 Rach 11.18.09 at 7:31 am

that cat is PRECIOUS!!!

57 Mpls Deb 11.18.09 at 6:21 pm

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

58 IAFL777 11.18.09 at 6:51 pm

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

59 erin 11.18.09 at 9:51 pm

hahahaha that made me laugh so much! priceless!

60 Kim 11.19.09 at 8:14 am

This cat is the perfect combination of neurotic and stealthy!

61 Katrina 11.19.09 at 11:53 am

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

62 Lil 11.19.09 at 1:22 pm

what a poker faced cat! love it!

63 Lil 11.19.09 at 1:25 pm

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

64 Deanna 11.19.09 at 4:11 pm

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

65 kaleena 11.21.09 at 11:17 pm

wth o.o

66 Homer 11.22.09 at 5:19 am

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

67 Mor Riemer 11.24.09 at 12:30 pm

The video has been taken off!

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

68 Tindi 12.01.09 at 11:08 am

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…*
