I Got Yer Happy Birthday Right Here

When presented with a singing birthday card, this cat responds the way we all wish we could. (We’re still looking for the follow-up video, in which the cat finds the greeting card factory and burns it to the ground.)

    nyerhe!

  2. Gigi says:

    How much do you bet that when he ran away with the card, he went strait to his litter box and buried the annoying thing. :lol:

  3. ceejoe says:

    My cats did not like it either – much distress here!

  4. skippymom says:

    I was waiting for him to squat and poop on the card.

  5. Ayeesha says:

    LOL. That second round of pouncing was all out. IT MUST DIE.

    • Fird Birfle says:

      Seriously!!! He/ she (?) took a MASSIVE, hurtling LEAP across the kitchen, like a superhero, in pursuit of it!!!! “OUT, OUT, dam*ned greeting card!!!!!” “HYYYYYYAAgh!!!!!! [yelling, in Miss Piggie voice] ” :)

      • Rumi says:

        lol, s/he sure did! Love that leap. :)

        • Alice Shortcake says:

          All he needed was a little cape streaming behind him. “Supercat…keeping the world safe from singing cards!”

        • Val says:

          I love how he never touched the floor in between.

          His large pupils too. I love cats.

          My dogs went nuts hearing this video..lol.

        :lol: I would just love it if someone added what you said about the cat’s reaction, Fird Birfle, to this video :lol:

        • Fird Birfle says:

          my own computery “skills” are astonishingly inadequate to such a task;
          but I’m truly glad, that you enjoyed the “virtual visual” !!!!
          Thanks muchly, Teresa :) Have a Spiffy New Year, all !!!

    • ash says:

      I did let out a giant LOL with that leap at the end!!

  6. BB/VA says:

    I expected him to go into full shred mode, with tiny strips of cardboard drifting through the air..

  7. Theresa says:

    LOOK at the poof on that tail! 8O

  8. Chris B. says:

    My pom, Boomer, almost does the same thing to my toy that barks ‘Jingle Bells’. Very, very funny. My other dog just looks at him and then looks at me and rolls his eyes.

  9. dubl*a says:

    I hate those things too, kitty.

  10. Theresa says:

    This kitty reminds me somewhat of this pretty girl, who decides that this hat must die:

  11. chanpon says:

    Sheesh, I love cats, but can you blame her?

  12. Plots a trip home to harass my own kitties.

  13. LOL! That is twice today I saw a cat attacking card! Over on the Animal Rescue Site they have a video of a cat attacking a Christmas card, one that plays a “You Better Watch Out”. Not in cat voices mind you.

  14. Mingcat says:

    I can only imagine the reaction of the person who sent this card when they see this and recognize the cat and/or house..

    “Wait.. that’s the card that I sent to Fred.. What?? He doesn’t LOVE the card? He’s actually GIVING the card to the cat to attack?? Not once, but TWICE?? Fine! That’s the last time that Fred gets a card from ME! Hmph!”

  15. Skul says:

    Just plain funny.
    Go get-em kitty.

  16. Love it I guess my cat would be afraid but she kills my hat too veryyyyyy annoying but yes indeed very funny ;)

  17. gryt says:

    0:24 is too moishe! I predict a gif of that pounce will be everywhere…

  18. Mudbug says:

    My little girl Raku kept stealing the coon skin cap my hubby’s mom sent him for X-mas last year. She would find it no matter where I hid it & bring it upstairs to the
    studio (while yelling “look what I have mom”) & put it down on the floor to show me what a competent hunter she was. It was soooo funny ’cause the hat is just about as big as she is. I could always tell when she was dragging it because she really sounded like she was talking with her mouth full.

    • Teresa says:

      :lol: Please send us a picture or even better a video of your dear sweet kitty, Raku, carrying your husband’s coon skin cap, Mudbug :lol:

    ROFLMAO My Bucky is behind my ‘puter now looking for what’s making that sound. His eyes are almost standing out on stems and his tailio is whipping around…gonna go play it again – needed the laugh!!

  20. doomchild says:

    I got one of those a few years back. It read: “Sorry we forgot your birthday. Here’s the tackiest and tasteless card we could find.”

    My relatives love me.

  21. Winston says:

    SEAL team cat!

  22. Flowerfanatic says:

    The Somali is a long-haired Abyssinian. They are gorgeous kitties for sure. Those tails are one of their trademarks. :)

  23. I don’t think the cat hates the card, I think it wants to play with the cat whose voice it hears, but can’t see!!!

  24. baby birdie says:

    “That’s a bad word! KILL IT!!!”

    I reallythink ring tailed lemurs and meerkats also hold their tails up like that ,but for different reasons . Still impressive though !
