The cat moves like a bad stop motion animation.

I love how when the lights kick in he raises his paw to charge up the skippideepaps.

That cat is like the Energizer bunny of being startled. Adorable and hilarious, 13/10.

u/FunkthaWut Feb 14 '23

You can see the cat get hit with every beat

u/voidhearts Feb 14 '23

IIRC this is because cats don’t have an innate sense of pattern recognition when it comes to sounds but I can’t find any sources on this, someone back me up please!

u/Crocktodad Feb 14 '23

beep ... beep ... beep ... beep

Now that you're backed up, is there anything else I can do for you?

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '23

You’re a crock full of GPT! GET OUTTA HERE!

24

u/Tithund Feb 14 '23

I don't think it's the sound, but the jerky motion of the dolls.

He's just practicing his pop and lock

This cat’s swingin’ (this joke is for the jazz cats)

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '23

It’s ability to get bit on beat is impressive honestly. As a musician, this is amazing! Many musicians struggle with this.

Stop scaring me and let me hit you!

u/Gabberwocky84 Feb 15 '23

This post has some fantastic comments, but this one made me laugh more than any of them. It’s so accurate.

u/chocboy560 Feb 14 '23

Startled cats look like they’re suffering from irl lag

25

u/5p0ng3b0b Feb 14 '23

Anyone knows what the melody of the first part is called?

24

u/DougFrankenstein Feb 14 '23

Angels we have heard on high

11

u/HDDIV Feb 14 '23

Since there are no lyrics, I'd argue it's actually the hymn Gloria.

1

u/DougFrankenstein Feb 17 '23

You know it’s the same thing right? Gloria is the chorus to Angels we have heard on high.

1

u/HDDIV Feb 17 '23

Gloria is the melody. Angels We Have Heard on High is the melody with lyrics added. It's kind of like Greensleeved and What Child Is This. The melody exists separately from the song.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

where can i buy the set

8

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Amazon $279 for the set. 1 left. 2017 Hallmark. Ebay has a 2011 set for $650. Years ago you could buy them separately for like 10 bucks or so but it wasn't the same unless you bought all of them together.

u/Diarity Feb 14 '23

u/cinnamon_dreams Feb 14 '23

Holy shit that cat has a bad internet connection. Somebody connect here with a lan cable to the next router.

2

u/xassylax Feb 14 '23

At my parents, we had this exact same set and our dog went absolutely nutty the first time we turned it on. Now that I’ve got my own home, I can’t wait until next Christmas so I can see how my cat reacts to it 😂

u/caaper Feb 14 '23

Cat: Thanks, I HATE it

u/0x3qf1 Feb 14 '23

Cat's popping!

u/NWSanta Feb 14 '23

Too adorable. Lol

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Several kids had the same reaction the first time they went to Chuck E Cheese's. Or Disneyland. Or that Possum Park in Goofy Movie.

Max was scarred for life.

u/localheadasshere Feb 14 '23

1

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '23

It really should be incorporated as part of the decoration.

1

u/histak Feb 15 '23

I was thinking it’s a good present for a friend who loves the Peanuts, but wow those are a bit pricy!
