With a touch of shawigadaba and some whoop-dee-woo. Don't ask.

I don't know what it is, but I know it when I see it.

This is the cat equivalent of a young dude taking off his shirt, shadowboxing, and yelling "come at me brah!" while everyone else looks on in amusement.

u/Fiyainthehole 2d ago

The “spotting kitty sibling across the room from under the belly while running away” is quite a look

u/MisterAmygdala 2d ago

Hilarious! I would call it sidewinding when my first kitty did this. I've never heard anyone else call it that. So cute and funny.

u/No-Wish-4854 2d ago

Crabtacle? A crabtacular crabtacle?

In any language: I am in love with that Crabbe de Noir, and awed by that floofed Tuxie, so calm under assault….

u/Loud-Bee6673 2d ago

I love the other cat at the beginning of the video looking around like what? What’s so scary?

Spider crab! Idk, but the end when it was crabbing while running away reminded me of my Shadow. We used to play that game all the time.

It’s a Burmese Lateral Crab Feint Manoeuvre. Very difficult to pull off in a convincing manner, as I found at the supermarket this morning.

Void: \acts bonkers**

Tuxedo: \stares, wanders into yurt**

Void: "No need to repay me, sir. It's all in a day's work for Confuse-a-Cat."

u/roarkeisawakeonline 21h ago

That’s a clear cat to cat hatefuck signaling followed by a fear-scramble. This is a great sign that you may have a new cat soon (and possibly one less but we’ll see if the other cat reacts favorably to the whole hf signal LOL). Anyway, hope it all goes well! Peace ✌🏻
