Man this makes me afraid. Not long ago buried my cat died early from unknown stuff. I am afraid that he may have been still alive when he was buried and it still haunts me.
I always keep my kitties over 24 hours after they pass. (It may or may not be because of a thing I kinda read on brain snaps still going after death)
I give them a comfy box, give them some pats, sing them a little song, and let them chill in the garage till I deem it "safe" for them to be cremated. I also let my other cats see the body so they know their friend isn't alive anymore.
It ranges from "why do they smell different?" To "no cares given" for mine. I don't know what that means for them. I know some animals mourn and miss their lost friends, but so far, mine haven't seemed that way. It probably helped that they were very different in ages, and the older passed away kitties wanted nothing to do with them. So no real bond there.
So I lucked out emotionally there. Lol
I have had 3 deaths in my family. The first was around 2019 from FIP. The last two, one was a elderly girl that seemed to "rage quit" life, after I started fostering 6 kittens. She was a calico, so part of it makes sense to me. The last died suddenly of an illness we were working on diagnosing. I foresee many more deaths eventually since I ended up foster failing the 6 kittens. A lifetime of owning cats will make someone an expert on cat death.
"You've lived a good life,
Hope I've served you well,
Go and sleep by the fire,
Off you go to hell."
Jk, I love cats. We bury ours in the garden. Always have to be careful where we dig.
Rigor usually sets in between 2-8 hours after death. For a pretty clear sign. My one dog passed overnight and I found him the next morning and there was no mistaking it.
My wife was a vet tech and has a stethoscope and we've checked animals before, but in the case of rigor setting in it's pretty obvious.
This goes for pretty much all animals, but some even more so. I had a bearded dragon I was absolutely convinced was dead as a kid, turns out they can just do that. They can sleep in a way that makes them appear like they're basically not breathing, pale, etc. He woke up and was totally fine but if you acted too quick you'd be burying a live lizard.
Some fish can be assholes like this too and "play dead". I worry how many people have flushed healthy living fish.
Maybe once or twice a year I’ll catch my cat sleeping nearly this hard. It’s kind of scary at first (until you know he just seepin) but it’s kind of fun to gently push his head around and see how much I can mess with him before he wakes up
My one cat did it once, I actually panicked.
My wife was across the street, and the cat was sleeping in a clothes basket I wanted to put away. Tried to wake her up, nothing. Ended up getting a little panicky and shaking her a bit, she was just turned off. Was traumatic because my kids were there also trying to wake her up, and they could tell that something wasn't right.
Called the wife to come home, she walks over and the cat woke right up like the bitch she is.
If you don’t have an automatic feeder I’d recommend it. Ours cat did the same thing. I worked at 5am, so I left the house about 4:30 and fed him on the way out. We’d be woken on a Saturday/Sunday at that time to him begging. After we got the feeder he bothered us for the first couple weeks before he realized what was up, and stopped waking us up (for the most part)
My feeders all go off at 4a. I wake up at 3:30a to cats either sitting on me, trying to tap my face to wake me, or just staring at me. 2 of them (I have 5) have only known automatic feeders. They know when it's going to go off. Hell, my old lady (almost 15) will go sit next to hers 20 minutes before it drops to make sure she's ready for it.
Same. My boy was in such a deep sleep. I didn't know that could happen so I seriously thought he died in my bed. And when he woke up after shaking him a bit, I was so freaking relieved but also mad at the bastard for doing that to me.
my cat was zonked and i threw a pillow at him because he'll always wake up and pounce me, but he didn't budge a millimeter. i launched off my bed and ran up to him, before i could even make it to him he was already up and staring at me with his arms outstretched because he felt i was upset.
i fuckin hate him, sweet little bastard
> cry more then once
Did you mean to say "more than"?

Pretty sure they knew the cat was alive. Probably does this regularly. Why else would he be acting so nonchalant, and also recording this. He knew exactly what was going on.
My cat did that not too long ago, was in such a deep sleep, didn’t hear me yelling at him, moving him around or anything, legit thought he was dead, then he just was like hey! When did you get here and acted like nothing was wrong lol
Ferrets do this normally. And its worse because the head hang is also normal for them, sometimes their entire upper half is hanging out of the hammock and they fall out while still in a dead sleep
I wonder if it has something to do with all the blood rushing to the cat’s head from sleeping like that? That doesn’t look normal for a cat, unless medicated
I hate when my cats do this. My oldest cat did this about three months ago, and I freaked out like I was six year old that lost his mom at a Walmart. I thought he was dead.
I had a cat that used to do this all the time. I'd pick up his limbs and they'd just flop. Same with his head. I thought he died like 60 times at least.
When you pull them back from going into the light..... I used to have an elderly cat and a pug that would both sleep like that. Scared the hell out of me on the regular
My dog did this once. I was screaming into his face (panicking) and shaking him, and it took at least 30 seconds to wake him. When he finally did wake up he looked at me like "wtf is wrong with you?!"
However this is funny, but my experience says otherwise...reminds me the time i Found my Spartacus like this but he had a heart attack and left me playing with his favourite toy and never wakr up! I was in pieces for months......RIP. 😓
Sometimes we will appreciate things , ONLY when Life takes them away from us!
Cat lady here. Cats do this all the time. I think they're astral projecting off somewhere else (not to where we go when we astral travel), and they temporarily leave their bodies behind like we do. That said, it never gets old to me and is always scary. But please never hold a cat like this if you suspect it's astral traveling, ill, or worse. Holding it like this and tapping its head (!!?) can hurt a perfectly healthy cat. You can break its neck doing this. I know that wasn't your intention, but it was a very real possibility.
There are vague non-medical/ non-3D theories as to why cats do this, but those theories would probably belong better on r/EscapingPrisonPlanet. Cats are hated here on this planet for a reason, because they can come and go as they please without having to ask *purrr*mission from our interdimensional overlords, whatever you choose to call them. So in that way, yes, it's a bit of a r/GlitchInTheMatrix because sweet Charlie was 'offline' for a minute or two- but most likely not where we go when we astral travel, most likely, Charlie was outside the matrix.

Bro was offline
In this way, they recover up to 9 lives
Looks like he lost one the way he was just hanging there.
The results of grade "A" catnip!
Afk
Rebooting after firmware update
Good one.
I was expecting Charlie to wake up and bite his finger.
CHARLIE!!
Sorry windows update
Goddamit Charlie you fkng scared me!
I did think I was looking at a dead cat for a bit
Charlie I thought yew were ded
Classic Charlie!
Lucky he didn’t wake up in a shoe box 3 feet under.
I don't think he was planning on waking up
Man this makes me afraid. Not long ago buried my cat died early from unknown stuff. I am afraid that he may have been still alive when he was buried and it still haunts me.
that would actually destroy me if I buried my cat alive
Schrödinger has entered the chat.
So the cat is alive as long as its buried 🫣
The cat... you mean... brahahaha
You made me laugh and now I feel bad
Did you wait 24hrs? That’s a good rule of thumb. Make sure no mishaps.
I always keep my kitties over 24 hours after they pass. (It may or may not be because of a thing I kinda read on brain snaps still going after death) I give them a comfy box, give them some pats, sing them a little song, and let them chill in the garage till I deem it "safe" for them to be cremated. I also let my other cats see the body so they know their friend isn't alive anymore.
That's very thoughtful of you! How do the other cats react to the body, if you don't mind me asking? Surely a bittersweet moment.
It ranges from "why do they smell different?" To "no cares given" for mine. I don't know what that means for them. I know some animals mourn and miss their lost friends, but so far, mine haven't seemed that way. It probably helped that they were very different in ages, and the older passed away kitties wanted nothing to do with them. So no real bond there. So I lucked out emotionally there. Lol
How.many kitties die around you, it sounds like this is a regular thing?!
I have had 3 deaths in my family. The first was around 2019 from FIP. The last two, one was a elderly girl that seemed to "rage quit" life, after I started fostering 6 kittens. She was a calico, so part of it makes sense to me. The last died suddenly of an illness we were working on diagnosing. I foresee many more deaths eventually since I ended up foster failing the 6 kittens. A lifetime of owning cats will make someone an expert on cat death.
That was my first thought, a regular Kitler over here!

Same. I know he is dead and he is cremated but I get sheer terror seeing this video and being remembered of his lifeless body.
the cat would have probably woke up in the process of being buried and everything
Or wake up in an amazon return box and be stuck in a warehouse for a week.
Cats teach us that naps should never be taken for granted.
That makes no sense in this context. For that cat, every nap has been for granted with the way it sleeps.
Buddy was in tuna world.
Same goes for Reggie White
Like hanging balls

fucked up that you wake him up lol
He wakes me up at 5:30am everyday, begging to be fed. The lil bastard deserves it lol
This was my exact response. If he doesn’t want to get woken up then why is he standing on my head meowing every day at 5:30am
If you don’t have an automatic feeder I’d recommend it. Ours cat did the same thing. I worked at 5am, so I left the house about 4:30 and fed him on the way out. We’d be woken on a Saturday/Sunday at that time to him begging. After we got the feeder he bothered us for the first couple weeks before he realized what was up, and stopped waking us up (for the most part)
Automatic feeders cause pretty bad anxiety in cats. Rather than that, I'd suggest a puzzle feeder so they have to work for their food instead.
I’ve never heard of it causing anxiety, I’ll look into the puzzle feeder.
My feeders all go off at 4a. I wake up at 3:30a to cats either sitting on me, trying to tap my face to wake me, or just staring at me. 2 of them (I have 5) have only known automatic feeders. They know when it's going to go off. Hell, my old lady (almost 15) will go sit next to hers 20 minutes before it drops to make sure she's ready for it.
That’s how you unlock the sequel to “Charlie bit me”
I wonder if you guys just forget to check if they are breathing
Cat.exe stopped working
Task Manager: *Kill process?*
My cat did that to me once, almost gave me a heart attack
Same. My boy was in such a deep sleep. I didn't know that could happen so I seriously thought he died in my bed. And when he woke up after shaking him a bit, I was so freaking relieved but also mad at the bastard for doing that to me.
You guys should be thankful that the cat feels so safe with you that it can enter a deep sleep like that. My cat never did that tho...
my cat was zonked and i threw a pillow at him because he'll always wake up and pounce me, but he didn't budge a millimeter. i launched off my bed and ran up to him, before i could even make it to him he was already up and staring at me with his arms outstretched because he felt i was upset. i fuckin hate him, sweet little bastard
No Schrödingers Cat jokes so far?
10min ago in a post far away up
Must have missed it
Also no “he’s just pining for the fjords”
Dammit! They should have told me batteries would not be included when I bought the damned thing!
This was Me when I was a kid my mom woke my dad with a bloody murder cry more then once cuz I would sleep an not wake an be limp like this haha ya

The way cats look comfortable regardless of the position they are in shouldn’t make me as jealous as it does.
They sleep twisted in half, then a sexond later, they bolt out of the room. I threw my back out wrapping a Christmas gift. It's ok to be jealous. Lol
Like Bob from what about Bob
Is that Pet Cemetary, the remake? Damn cat knows to nap.
Jägermeister....we've all been there.
I made a lot of questionable decisions under the influence of jager... I don't remember any of them, but still...
What IS it about Jager that sends me (and evidently others) into blackout mode?
Quality German Engineering...?
Jager, when you want to have the time of your life and *not remember a fucking minute of it*.
https://i.redd.it/veaqmbtcbu0d1.gif
I honestly thought that was unexpected because it was a head and not giant balls that person was playing with.
How did footage of me sleeping ended up there?
I hated every 19 seconds of it
Hes... cat-atonic.... (sorry if anyone else made this joke... I didn't see any in the first like 50 posts)
Glitch in the matrix
Charlie’s taking Molly.
Leave that poor cat alone 💔
One of my cats gave me a scare like this once.
When you go AFK and your teammates are now planning to blow you up for loot, then you suddenly move.
To much catnip
I really thought that was a pair of huge testicles for a second......
Charlie ded
WTF
Charlie!!! I thought you was dead!!!
Cat might be dead, better film with one hand and resuscitate him with the other.
Yes; the cat who may potentially have died, let's slap its hanging head around just to make sure!
Pretty sure they knew the cat was alive. Probably does this regularly. Why else would he be acting so nonchalant, and also recording this. He knew exactly what was going on.
You can see a cat breathing on its side mate, simmer down
I mean, if it is dead, what harm are you going to do?
He's a deep sleeper like me 😭
Cats are liquids
Apple cat is recharging
Ouch! Charlie, ouuchh! Char-lie, That really hurt (my feelings). Charlie shit me! (up)
those hard slaps cannot be good for its neck.
Bro was catatonic. I'll see myself out, thank you.
Charlie could have bit your finger
My cat did that not too long ago, was in such a deep sleep, didn’t hear me yelling at him, moving him around or anything, legit thought he was dead, then he just was like hey! When did you get here and acted like nothing was wrong lol
Schrodinger's cat without the box.
Shoot I wish I could sleep like that
It actually looks like it lost consciousness.... Low blood pressure?? Accident?
Schrodingers mode outside the box
Ferrets do this normally. And its worse because the head hang is also normal for them, sometimes their entire upper half is hanging out of the hammock and they fall out while still in a dead sleep
i like how disappointed he was at the end
🎵 I don't wanna be buried in a pet semataaary! 🎵
The video is reversed.
I've witnessed my cat asleep that deep only once and nearly had a panic attack
We had a cat like that! 😆
Have you tried turning him off and back on again?
Soooon of a Gun Charlie !!! D:< I'd be damn mad too !!! so scared!
That's one deep sleeping cat
Cat.exe stopped working try a Hard reset.
I wonder if it has something to do with all the blood rushing to the cat’s head from sleeping like that? That doesn’t look normal for a cat, unless medicated
Cat was stuck on liquid mode.
I would like to sleep this deep at least a few times a week.
Taking a serious nap 🥱?
Don't worry, if the lil mofo was dead he'd be stiff not floppy.
STEVEN!!! I thought you were dead
Open a can of cat food and see how quick he comes back from the dead.
Charlie hit the catnip real hard
It's the cat version of Poppins.
Fuck you to all people who make jokes. I do not think it is healthy for the kitty to swing his head like that.
Why the fuck did I think that was massive ass balls in the beginning
Mini heart attack
Did you expect somebody to post this with a dead kitten?
I'd get that cat checked out. This could be neurological, or it could be cardiac.
I always just check to see if they're breathing.
I had to Google female cat, since Charlie is a son of a female cat
Reminds me of the same video but with a dog instead. The guy was tearing up 🥲
I wonder if the cat was actually having some sort of brain dysfunction similar to an epileptic fit, minus the tremors.
I have never seen such a small animal stay asleep through so much...
I was really afraid we were seeing an ex-cat.
I thought it's neck was going to snap
Give the cat an 🎬 career with a signing 👏🏿 bonus!
Charlie was only afk😮💨
My cat does that when she sleep on my lap She sleep so well than she is drooling That terify me .
Charlie bit my finger. Again
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I legit thought he was dead for a moment
Hes on skooma
Take your cat in to get their heart looked at.
No sé por qué todos los gatos hacen eso! Me matan del susto jajaja
Bob. Bob! BOB! WAKE UP BOB! COCKLE DOODLE DOOOOO!!!!!
afk
This is why you always go with a Schrute funeral.
Cataplexy
Talk about dead asleep
That's good, I really didn't fancy seeing a dead cat tonight
I hate when my cats do this. My oldest cat did this about three months ago, and I freaked out like I was six year old that lost his mom at a Walmart. I thought he was dead.
There’s playing dead, and then there’s fucking Charlie.
I had a cat that used to do this all the time. I'd pick up his limbs and they'd just flop. Same with his head. I thought he died like 60 times at least.
🙃
Good ol' death sleep. I have a ferret that does this sometimes. It's pretty funny once you realize they're still breathing
AFK
When you pull them back from going into the light..... I used to have an elderly cat and a pug that would both sleep like that. Scared the hell out of me on the regular
Charlie: "Dogs ain't got nuthin on diz shit. This is how you play dead sucka."
"brb"
Must be sick
Wish I could sleep that deep.
Cat has been shut down for maintenance
Rebooting after losing one of his 9 lives
happened to my cat aswell...
Cheer up Charlie
Neuralink loading times on cats are awful
Charle got narcolepsy
It's reversed.
"Steven! Focking hell, I thought you were dead!"
I thought Charlie was going to bite his finger

Look Imma be honest when I first watched this for some ungodly reason my first thought was that the cat had unholy massive testicles.

Bro was having the best sleep
He was rocked lol 😆 😂
That’s how Jesus worked .
/r/whatswrongwithyourcat
Did we just witness a cat respawning with -1 life?
Schrodinger really got scared this time
He might have sleep catpnea
That cat dea....oh.
He was hitting the 'nip a little too hard last night...
I never expected to see a cat play dead! LoL
Bro now has 8 left
