  2. J. says:

    Geez, all my cats do is stare out the window or nap.

  3. Kathryn says:

  4. skippymom says:

    This is the most redonkulously funny thing I have ever seen. Hands down.

    • O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

      THIS is where I should have posted my responding qwershtyun about the phrase “PAWS” down ….

      Signed,
      Hopelessly Befuddled, even on my BEST days.

    • Marie says:

      Yeah, and I was gonna say “Or paws up!” That’s what I get for being so slow.

  5. Michelle says:

    I like how their owner says, “They do this all the time.”

  6. sandy says:

    Catty Cake

  8. Berg says:

    Yet more proof that cats are very silly. This video made me cry from laughing so hard!

  9. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    @ skippymom: did you, perhaps, intend to say “PAWS” down?

    and the reply to an item feature is groovy, man, groovy!!!

    • skippymom says:

      Right now I am smacking myself in the face for not thinking of that.

      • O NO He/She/it DI-unt!!! says:

        nnnnnnnoooooooooooo, skippymom: NO INJURY TO
        NIFTY PEEPS will be permitted!!!

        (now, if u wanna smack a Bad Guy around, we might be convinced to allow that!)
        :)

    • blair says:

      reply feature is like wing chun sticky hands for blog comments

  10. brinnann says:

    Bwahahahahaha!!!!

    LOVE the slow-mo nose-swat at 1:00. :lol: :lol: :lol:

  11. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    oh wait I’m still getting the hang of this. I JUST REALIZED…

  12. Louisa says:

    the most unenthusiastic cat fighting in the history of the universe.

    • O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

      true. it rather brings to mind, the oh-so-world-weary cat with the cutesy-talking human . “Whatcha doin’???”

      “Not much.”……etc

  14. Theresa says:

    Aw crap, that didn’t work right.

  15. Wolfie says:

    OHMYDOG, I really did think it was a mirror for a little while there!!! *slaps forehead*

    This is just fab, a purrfect antidote to the trauma of the falling kitties earlier today (which btw, is gone?!).

    Thank you for the happy cats, NTMTOM!

    • Gloomy13 says:

      am so happy that you commented on the fact that the earlier post is gone. have never had anything bad to say about this site, but honestly that was too much! love kitties standing up with their furry pantaloons playing nicely. good times!!!

      • Wolfie says:

        I was surprised to see it gone, but also quite relieved, for sure. Unlike lots of other posters, I would never say “take it down!” — this is Meg’s site and she’s free to post what she wants. It’s up to us to decide what we view and don’t view, and we had been duly warned. I remain a loyal reader despite the occasional post I may not like as much (we face the same issues on our own site – can’t please everybody!), and I’m SO SO SO grateful to Meg & Co. for the goodness they provide. I can’t count the number of times I’ve come here in desperation in the midst of a horrid day to find comfort, and found it every time. So massive thanks to them for that.

  16. Cute Heaven says:

    My cat loves mirror :P !

  17. Hyura says:

    what’s great is that they really seem to be playing? i mean, there’s not much of the flat-eared ready to pounce tension. they just look pretty comfy.

  18. This is hilarious. I thought it was a mirror at first because they were so in synch, but the “lick break” gave it away. And then there were those head slaps at the end, which the other cat seemed to take in stride. If my cats tried this, it would end in a fur-flying brawl.

  19. Not That Mike The Other Mike says:

    This would be appropriate right about now:

    • Martha in Washington says:

      You read my mind Mike! I was totally thinking Marx Brothers! Spooky! Ok, what am I thinking about now?

      I soooo have to get another cat so Gemma has somecat to play mirror with!

    • O NO He/She/it DI-unt!!! says:

      NTM; purrhaps los kittayes STUDIED
      Los Hermanos Marx, to develop their Youtube bit???

    • Ant says:

      What about the one from Gilligan’s Island?

  20. Snowpea says:

    Ok, that made me giggle madly at work. Luckily my coworker’s already left.

    Around 1:03 BOF! on zee noze

  21. Marie says:

    First off, love it! And 2nd there’s def some weird mojo going on here. You got these two computers with kitty graphics and then two cats right in front behaving very unusually. It’s like they’re being controlled by the computers. Like Robo-cats!

  22. Decca says:

    They’re playing Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who gets the tuna. (And thanks for the Marx Brothers clip. I needed that.)

  23. MamaLana says:

    LOL Nose slap, rather nose beep!

  24. Simi says:

    Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! The grey one looks bored, though, and indulging the black one’s mirror game.

  25. bob drummond says:

    I do not kwow which is more entertaining- the catvrscat video or the replys from viewers. Both are funny as Heck.

  26. Queen of Dork says:

    Holy crap! They’re totally playing Miss. Mary Mack!

    (Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
    All dressed in black, black, black
    With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
    Up and down her back, back, back…

    She asked her mother, mother, mother
    For 15 cents, cents, cents,
    To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
    Jump the fence, fence, fence…(and so on)

    Also: Whoa! CO has a new format of sorts! Cool!

    • brinnann says:

      I remember our version being as such:

      She jumped so high, high, high,
      She touched the sky, sky, sky,
      And she didn’t come back, back, back,
      Til the fourth of July, -ly, -ly.

      • Lerrinus says:

        I rember that tune! I just couldn’t remember what all the word were after the first verse! Yay! :-)

  27. NT Mel says:

    Looks like when Laverne and Shirley used to fight.

  28. Teresa says:

    :lol: Those two kitties look like they are too tired to fight :lol: Instead, they bop each other’s paws :lol:

  29. Katey says:

    I love the :48 Hygiene Break. Cats are so wonderfully serious about being goofy.

  30. Hon Glad says:

    Should I have the misfortune to get into a fight I know now what to do, stop lick my hand get the opponent confused and then launch a supprise attack.

    • bob drummond says:

      that’s the spirit.Catch ‘em off-guard and clobber the daylights
      out of them.Yeah Baby!

  31. Judith says:

    Love the way the bigger one, near the end, says ‘Hey, you, I wasn’t ready to stop!’

  32. SoCalSis says:

    And I just noticed the URL … Gotta watch that NOMTOM– he’s full of tricks…

  33. crackjob says:

    This is the
    BEST
    THING
    EVER

  34. M says:

    Loving the wing chun references! :) Kung fu kitties!

  35. Skip says:

    So what exactly is it they’re doing? Play-fighting but at a really low-energy level?

  36. mplsdeb says:

    @NTMTOM I couldn’t help but think of the episode of I Love Lucy when she & the rest are in California, and she meets up with Harpo and they do the mirror schtick.

  37. revolution724 says:

    Hey, dark gray! No biting!

  38. Lewis n' Clark says:

    My cats do this all the time. Sometimes they peter out, like these guys, or sometimes they suddenly decide to amp it up, and run at each other and bump chests like frat brothers!

  39. Valerie says:

    Reminds me of “Wax on, Wax off”.

  40. Thanks for giving details on these cats. Seeing them play with each other in a uniform way may seem to give hope to owners who want to incorporate more play with their own cats.
