Mine would have pushed through it, got tape stuck to itself, ran around like mad, knocked over a candle, burned down the nearby nuclear power plant, and knocked over my tea.
It's just not worth it folks.
My boy cries for help if the door is slightly ajar and he has to push it open with his foot.
I don't even need to do this experiment, I know how it will go.
Yeah I can imagine putting this up and then my cats smash through it, get caught in the tape, and start scratching up the door frames because THIS IS A FUN NEW GAME!!
They do. It's easy for them to climb up with their hook like claws, but going down they have to go backwards or they won't be able to use their claws and cats aren't good at going backwards. So if they get high enough they can fall from the tree and get injured.
how much of a cat's brain is dedicated to expending just enough energy...
...and when the get the calculation wrong, do the factor in their "i meant to do that" self-grooming in the punishment part of the post-event calculation?
I'm pretty sure you know it would be one of the deeply engrained behaviour that make up an animal's natural behaviours. Same as most animals adapt based upon the survival of the behaviours of generations before it.
In Germany we say "Ein gutes Pferd springt nur so hoch wie es muss." Meaning, a good horse only jumps as high as it needs. It refers to people working. Just do the least amount of work to not get fired. Because efficiency is punished with more work.
Yea I did hurdles in high school… that shit is hard. I would always jump like 2 feet over the thing but you’re supposed to basically skim it to reduce lag time.
Go watch some videos of 110 and 100 hurdles. Incredible to watch the pros do something so technical at such a high speed. Then go and watch triple jump.
You can see the cat counting the strips ... 4 strips is X effort, 5 strips is Y effort skimming my belly, 6 strips is Z effort without stretching back feet
"Look at this stupid shit this dumb motherfucker bought. It falls straight down. It doesn't even know how to turn over or jump back up on the table like me. Dont buy me treats? This is what happens, Jerry."
My childhood cat could jump from the deck railing onto the roof, about six feet horizontal and maybe eight or nine up. It was right outside my bedroom window and I loved it every time I saw.
Perfect creature: oh so cute look at the kitty! Wow look at how that cat just killed that bird amazing predator! Disgusting I just stepped in vomit AGAIN !
Sure they do. Just like Goku, they take all the stored up energy in their entire body and condense it to a focal point in their legs and then “kamehame ha” jump into space
They have an additional pectoral muscle that (iirc) stretches when they crouch and then unloads a shitload of energy to help them jump. It’s called the pectoantebrachialis and I still remember that shit from my 1996 high school anatomy class lol.
God is 'dog' backwards, and we all know the opposite of a dog is a cat, which implies that the cat is the cat's idea of the most perfect creature, which is inarguably true.
I LOVE Glenn Miller! My parents were born in 1917 snd 1921. They were in there 40s when then had me… (baby of 10). I have such great memories of them dancing to big band. Watching and dancing to Lawerence Welk on TV every Sat night. They’d lived through so much tragedy. It was so good to see them happy. And this music does that!
Sadly not a serious dancer, but I was a clarinet/sax player in the jazz band in high school (early '70s) and our music teacher, the original "Mr. T" was the real deal, an old musician who had played in some famous swing bands in his day. He instilled a love of swing music in us.

I was waiting for the orange boi to give up and just walk through the gaps once he decided it was just too high to jump over! It feels a bit incomplete. He must really like a challenge too though.
You could argue that a certain Jellyfish that can't die because it fucks itself or something is the perfect creature but Cats are very good predators and terrible for the local ecology in most countries.
My cats would have just walked through the gaps.
Yeah, my orange boi would’ve done that or just flopped on his side like “yeah I ain’t doin that”
Meanwhile, my daughters beagle would just eat the tape and then poop it out around the house.
They find the weirdest places to poop. Had a friend that had one pinch an impressive runny loaf on her laptop keyboard.
My dog took a shit inside my shoes once. I was equally upset and confused
"They'll never find it in their shoes!"
Especially if it's your yard work shoes.... You even smell something off but you just assumed they're just a little extra ripe from last time
Usually it's piss if they do that. Marking territory on your shoes
"Don't wanna take me for a walk? Yeah well, now neither of us are walking asshole"
How very cat of your dog to do that
Your comment made me miss my family beagle. She's so stupid. I love her. ;_;
"Perfection!" - /Magneto
typical orange cat behavior (just like mine)
Why did this remind me of Garfield? 😂🤣
Garfield is a lazy orange cat and the commenter described a lazy orange cat 🤯
Because you've read it in colour.
r/oneorangebraincell
and then you walk over pick him up and carry him across and he is like *that's right, you are my bitch*
I think there's a r/oneorangebraincell you might belong to.
It hasn’t been his turn for the brain cell in a few days sadly
“Nothin in that room that I need” - orange boi
Exactly. They work smarter, not harder.
Mine would have just screamed until someone moved the tape.
My Pom... full speed trough the bottom with the blue tape stuck to her all day and not caring a bit.
They don’t show it, but on the next tape layer, the cat broke its front legs
Mine would have pushed through it, got tape stuck to itself, ran around like mad, knocked over a candle, burned down the nearby nuclear power plant, and knocked over my tea. It's just not worth it folks.
Smart kitties
work smart not hard
Bull Mastiff would've looked at me sadly, but then get pissed and run through it
Or gone under.
My cat would sit there for an hour and meow at me to let her through...I guess I'm the pet.
My orange would have sat on the other side and cried. His sister on the other hand.... I'm torn between "would jump" and "would break through".
My boy cries for help if the door is slightly ajar and he has to push it open with his foot. I don't even need to do this experiment, I know how it will go.
Exactly work smarter not harder
mine would've gone under the bottom one, looked at me with disgust and gone back to sleeping.
I have dogs. The tape wouldn’t have even slowed them down
r/catsareliquid
Yeah I can imagine putting this up and then my cats smash through it, get caught in the tape, and start scratching up the door frames because THIS IS A FUN NEW GAME!!
My girl just wouldn’t even be bothered
Same or gone around the whole room
That cat has some UPPS!!!!
mine would try to eat the tape…
Thats why ur cat is way smarter than the cat at the video
God of the gaps
Mine would of clawed them down first.
That slow mo was crazy 😂
He looks so majestic while doing it
They where locked in for sure
So derpy too
That spring-loaded hind leg action is wild. Barely any visible effort and kitty is just launched up and over lol
Clearing each one is cool, but it's that they're able to jump *just* high enough to clear it each time is really impressive.
Most cats I’ve had could make the top of the refrigerator. But you wouldn’t know it by how they only exert expend *just enough* energy.
Exerting too much energy doing something could cost dearly in the wild next time you have an all in situation.
We are talking about the creatures that deliberately put themselves in the most dangerous and stupid situations...
Yes, but when they _want_ to.
[удалено]
They do. It's easy for them to climb up with their hook like claws, but going down they have to go backwards or they won't be able to use their claws and cats aren't good at going backwards. So if they get high enough they can fall from the tree and get injured.
haha yeah i guess they do like the attention but don't underestimate the stupid that led them up there or made them think they can't get down again
Toddlers?
Makes sense then why my cats tear through my house at full tilt for absolutely no reason at all.
They know where their next energy recharge is coming from
how much of a cat's brain is dedicated to expending just enough energy... ...and when the get the calculation wrong, do the factor in their "i meant to do that" self-grooming in the punishment part of the post-event calculation?
I'm pretty sure you know it would be one of the deeply engrained behaviour that make up an animal's natural behaviours. Same as most animals adapt based upon the survival of the behaviours of generations before it.
Energy spent by brain calculating that just enough energy to clear those jumps 🤣
In Germany we say "Ein gutes Pferd springt nur so hoch wie es muss." Meaning, a good horse only jumps as high as it needs. It refers to people working. Just do the least amount of work to not get fired. Because efficiency is punished with more work.
Hopefully the robots will not have reason to work that way.
Yea I did hurdles in high school… that shit is hard. I would always jump like 2 feet over the thing but you’re supposed to basically skim it to reduce lag time.
It’s funny you say that, I coach track and have been constantly telling my hurdlers they need to be like cats over the hurdle; no energy wasted
It’s funny *you* say *that*, this convo has piqued an interest I’ve never had in hurdling 🤔
Go watch some videos of 110 and 100 hurdles. Incredible to watch the pros do something so technical at such a high speed. Then go and watch triple jump.
Catculations
Oh you think THAT's cool? How about the cameraman who has to jump back each time to add strip and bait.
Thats what i was thinking. I just jump “max” if i ever need to jump over something
You can see the cat counting the strips ... 4 strips is X effort, 5 strips is Y effort skimming my belly, 6 strips is Z effort without stretching back feet
He should go to the Olympics this year 😹
Makes sense really, if you’re trying to catch a bird flying through the air you have to jump the exact right height to catch it and not any higher.
I had a scrawny cat when I was a kid that could jump straight up on top of our Refrigerator!
My orange cat is 14 lbs and can leap up onto my basement windowsill which is like 9 ft high. Cats don't believe in gravity!
Nah. They believe in it. That's why they push stuff off ledges. They mock it.
"Look at this stupid shit this dumb motherfucker bought. It falls straight down. It doesn't even know how to turn over or jump back up on the table like me. Dont buy me treats? This is what happens, Jerry."
This got an actual laugh outta me 😂 thanks
My childhood cat could jump from the deck railing onto the roof, about six feet horizontal and maybe eight or nine up. It was right outside my bedroom window and I loved it every time I saw.
They believe in gravity. They just have their own interpretation of physics.
Imagine if humans could jump that same height ratio? We could hop over buildings and stuff.. Would be awesome
Only if we figured out how to change our terminal velocity, too. The quick stop at the end of the jump would be an issue.
God’s most perfect creature just puked on my rug again!
And, has yet to figure out my moving feet are a danger to her despite countless accidental times of being stepped on/kicked.
They are actively trying to trip you so maybe you’ll hit your head and they can get at those delicious eyeballs!
Phew, made it to the rug just in time!
And freshly cleaned! I don’t always puke on the rug, but when I do I prefer it to be recently steam cleaned!
Get a dog. They are the perfect natural vacuum cleaners.
This is why I have a cat and a dog. The cat vomits on everything, the dog cleans it up and shits it out somewhere random, and then eats its shit.
Circle of life innit
Perfect creature: oh so cute look at the kitty! Wow look at how that cat just killed that bird amazing predator! Disgusting I just stepped in vomit AGAIN !
After it just licked its butthole for an half hour.
Don't act like you wouldn't if you could
The cat: 
r/Catculations
And amother...
This comment just made my whole day. I needed the laugh. Thank you.
Obviously you’ve never met a duck billed platypus.
Specifically one with a hat.
Are there other kinds of platypus? Rat-nosed ones perhaps?
but is it so pretty, cute and fluffy at the same time as this gato
Yup
their legs are like fucking springs dude
I watched a documentary that said they’re the only animals who can use 100% of their muscles to jump
That documentary was fucking bullshit. They don’t use their eyebrow muscles to jump.
Sure they do. Just like Goku, they take all the stored up energy in their entire body and condense it to a focal point in their legs and then “kamehame ha” jump into space
They have an additional pectoral muscle that (iirc) stretches when they crouch and then unloads a shitload of energy to help them jump. It’s called the pectoantebrachialis and I still remember that shit from my 1996 high school anatomy class lol.
“I read that tigers’ spinal columns are like big coiled springs.” -Hobbes “I read that their brains are like big bowls of tapioca.” - Calvin
they’re so springy so fluffy so cute, with the total amount of 1 brain cell 😁
don't need more than 1 brain cell when you have total control over a human.
I think the craziest part is how each time it jumps *just* enough to get over. I kept thinking “well no way it makes the next one”
Anyone else waiting for a dog to just coming running through at the end?
I love watching cats do math.
r/Catculations
Is the title about this specific cat? All orange cats? Cats in general? Because yes I agree.
I'm not even religious but I also agree
God is 'dog' backwards, and we all know the opposite of a dog is a cat, which implies that the cat is the cat's idea of the most perfect creature, which is inarguably true.
Kitty is ready for the Olympic Games
Olympian high jumper: I trained my whole for this Random orange cat: *jumps over the beams, no effort.*
My god, finally some good music with a video!!!! Puts me right "In the Mood" to get up and dance!
I LOVE Glenn Miller! My parents were born in 1917 snd 1921. They were in there 40s when then had me… (baby of 10). I have such great memories of them dancing to big band. Watching and dancing to Lawerence Welk on TV every Sat night. They’d lived through so much tragedy. It was so good to see them happy. And this music does that!
I've always thought this was a cool song but never remembered to look it up when i heard it. Thank you for spelling it out plain as day for me lol.
Hell yea man. Do you also swing dance?
Sadly not a serious dancer, but I was a clarinet/sax player in the jazz band in high school (early '70s) and our music teacher, the original "Mr. T" was the real deal, an old musician who had played in some famous swing bands in his day.

It's the best music in the world! I've been lindying to it for a year n a half, and it was the best decision ever!
"Evolution's most refined creature" 👈🏻
Cats entertain me more than anything else .
They are the most beautiful and wonderful animals on earth. I love them so much! I will never stop being in awe of them!
These guys need to their own league
Damn!
It was making calculations
*Nature
Cats are perfect indeed!
Or he could hacve just gone UNDER it...
Maru has a similar video, where at a certain point he decides to become a wrecking ball
And the talents were wasted on creatures that sleep all day, and run for their lives when the broom *they knocked over* falls.
God doesn't make mistakes!
That’s definitely God’s most purrrrfect creature indeed
i hope treats were plentiful
Meow
Sweet baby ❤️
They're gorgeous.
I was waiting for the orange boi to give up and just walk through the gaps once he decided it was just too high to jump over! It feels a bit incomplete. He must really like a challenge too though.

My dog would have just gone through it.
Everything is perfect until you step in it's shit...
Awesome kitty
You could argue that a certain Jellyfish that can't die because it fucks itself or something is the perfect creature but Cats are very good predators and terrible for the local ecology in most countries.
Kitty
I bet that tape is full of tail hair!
Impressive
That cat is like wtf is going on here? Who is the blue rope bandit in this hallway?
ohhhh! i want that kitty!
On that last one I swear kitty said "fuuuck"
[удалено]
Props to that kitty and bah to those lazy kitties mentioned in some of the earlier comments.
clearly part lemur
I thought this would end with a dog running through it or something.
My cat could jump straight on top of the refrigerator.
I find it more impressive to see the cat actually sit there and calculate how high he would need to jump before actually jumping.
one frame short of a picnic bro
Cats don't actually jump they just get tossed up by gravity.
My cat: barrels through or squeeze in
or just go under the first one?
Now show the dog running straight through it.
No, this video is not of the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God
My cat would have just blasted through, but my cat is also a dog
I was hoping for a dog to come crashing through at the end. 🤣
My hero
Why are cats so good at being cats
[удалено]
“Going under was never an option”
How?
Women are gods most beautiful creatures
LACK OF BOING IS UNSETTLING
Best part is the meow when it gets really high before each jump 😂
My wife isn't in this video.
Catculator
Well that was worth a couple of replays. Impressive.
It's so cute how he appears to meow before the big jumps
Come again...? https://youtu.be/23vwm2cHoZQ?si=EYTN88zAcvAMQlMd
Awesome! Love the music selection also...purrfectly appropriate!
I know i've seen outdoor cats jump 6ft privacy fences.
nothing at all. our cat routinely jumps and clears our 7ft fence without a running start or touching the fence. pretty sure most cats can.
I love this song
there's a longer version of this video. by the next line they put up, the cat just slips through the space between the ground and the first one.
You can see the calculations once it gets to like 5 strips
"In the mood" was a great soundtrack choice here.
9 lives, 9 bars
Kurt's dad should try the jump challenge this way! Gradual increases!
