The demise of Vine is drawing closer. I couldn’t stand the thought of all those cat videos out there being lost to the abyss, so I gathered a few (i.e. nearly 50) of my favourites.
I hope you enjoy this compilation of cats and kittens being funny, silly, or just plain adorable.
@sasha-le-strang Please look at this
What a load of crap !!! One thing for certain… cats don’t give a rat’s ass what B.S. you tell about them. They refuse to care less, either about what you think of them, or about the people they love.
“Cats don’t miss you when you’re gone” is a ton of bs. Whenever I leave to go anywhere, I can hear my cats meowing at the door within moments trying to find me. They sit in the window watching for me to come home and they are at the door to greet me almost every single time.
Cats also grieve.
This cat watches a video of their owner who had passed away and he tries to cuddle up with the phone. The look on his face when they zoom in on him brings me to tears every time.
One of our cats comes and sleeps next to me when he sees that I’m not feeling well. If he’s in the kitchen when I come down for food with cramps or with a cold, he’ll follow me back upstairs and lay down on me and purr.
Cats are aloof animals who don’t put up with nonsense, will defend their boundaries with claws, and sometimes like to push things down to see what happens, but they aren’t jerks.
not to be dramatic but i would die for this cat
UNMUTE THIS, I BEG YOU

Cat: Arr-rar! (weird chirp noise)

Cat, while licking finger, in a very gravelly voice: Ah mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem-mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem… mrowr rowrrr…
Person holding camera: I love you.
Cat: [hisses]
This often happens with feral cats! Meowing into adulthood is something cats learn for interacting with humans. If they don’t know any humans until they’re already adults, they just make whatever noises spring to their throat and you get… *gestures*
Is the cat just trying to move the carrot, or?
Rating: Cute
the cat is trying to absolutely fucking murder the carrot
(in all seriousness, this is an example of the overlap in play and hunting behaviors in cats. the cat is playing, but playing for cats involves practicing their hunting skills, so the cat is gripping the carrot and kicking it and shaking it and biting it in an effort to weaken it for possible killing and eating. all in good fun!)

Tashirojima, or as it’s more commonly known (for obvious reasons), “Cat Island” is a small island in Ishinomaki, Japan. With only approximately 100 people living on the island and thousands of stray cats, it’s a cat-lovers dream come true. It is believed that the population of cats thrives due to a belief that feeding cats will bring good fortune. Dogs are even prohibited from the island! In the middle of the island lies a small cat shrine. The story behind this shrine lies with the fishermen of the island. They said that the cats would come and beg for fish, and they would often give into the cats and feed them. On one occasion, the fishermen were collecting rocks for their fixed nets and one fell, killing one of the cats. Feeling guilty and upset about the loss of the cat, they buried it and built a shrine.
One of my cats just completely hates me and sometimes will just come up and hiss and yowl at me and whenever she does my oldest cat, sweet little 12 year old Tigger, in all of her 3 pounds runt-of-the-litter glory, will chase the other cat (who is about twice her size and 4 times her weight) down fearlessly even though the other cat is so much bigger and younger than her. Cats are just so good and pure and loyal sometimes. I love Tigger.
About an hour and a half ago I felt a cat jump on my bed and settle down, curled up next to me. Ten minutes ago the cat started meowing quite a bit, and it occurred to me that this didn’t sound like the meowing from the cats I own
This... this isn’t any of my cats.
Congrads on ur new cat!
a lot of people tend to confuse cats showing their belly for belly rubs, but it’s actually only something dogs do, for cats its a sign of respect and trust, they are not expecting to get pet, so when they do it’s not uncommon they get startled or think its play fight, of course there are expectations and some cats who ADORES belly rubs

He’s helping.
I’m a cat enthusiast and i can tell you, the kitty is actually trying to help! (or just trying to figure out what humane is doing by also touching it)
Cats like to mimic what other members if their cat groups are doing. In human enviroments, this translates to cats following humans (who they see as part of their group) and trying to mimic activities they are doing.
Human sits on couch? Cat sit with them! Human reading or on their computer? Cat go after human and sprawl over them or the keyboard because cat do the same! Human eating? Cat also want eat! Human touch spining clay and make weird shapes? Cat also do that! Cat help!
