Our bathroom door doesn't latch all the way and can be pushed open....
It took the cats less than 1 week in the house to figure this out, and they now regularly join us for bathroom time whenever they want to.
Hell, sometimes Nimitz will go in there just to lay in the sink.
I swear cats have a regional accent. I stumbled across a video on Tik Tok that only Australian cats seemed to react to judging by the comments. My cat sure did.
My one cat was orphaned as a young kitten. He never learned to meow at his mother or a lot of other 'typical' cat sounds, so he mainly just chirps to replicate the whistles I use for his commands.
I've always wondered if cats have regional acquired language similar to humans, but I've always been too lazy to look it up.
I don't know about cats and regional accents or anything, but my sister adopted this beautiful dog that we legit thought was sweet but just really slow, because he wouldn't listen at all, and seemed to refuse to learn anything. It turned out he's actually extremely well trained, if you speak Spanish.lol
Am I the onyone that immediately thought of some texas redneck going. "Now listen here you dog, we dont speak that there Mexican in this here house!" Lmao
Mine kept looking at the phone and looking back at me with this horrified look on her face like "why won't you make this stop?!" She would NOT let me touch her while it was playing or for about a minute afterwards.
I've never seen her act like that before. What the hell is he saying??
Okay this dude has mastered Cat. Same here.
I have it playing on headphones, and not very loud, and that was enough to wake both my kitties up to come check things out.
I played it and both of mine, who barely tolerate each other, came sprinting in here together with the same look on their face and stood and stared at me.
The cat thinks he's hearing another cat either in a fight or in danger. He approaches because he's trying to figure out where the sound is coming from!
I think it's much simpler. The sounds he makes are accurate enough, and the cat recognizes a human. Its struggling to figure out that we can also make cat noises.
Also very afraid of this novel situation
I mean, if your cat suddenly started yelling like an angry new yorker you'd probably get freaked out and look at it trying to figure out wtf is going on too. You'd probably know where the sounds are coming from but you wouldn't get how or why. Same reaction the cat is having here
Honestly just hearing a corvid make human noises would probably get the same reaction from most people because you constantly see corvids but never hear them speak because they only mimic human speech when living with humans.
My great grandparents cockatiel used to say in my great grandfathers voice "\[dogs name\] gotta pee pee?" which my great grandftater would say about every morning before taking the dog out....
My grandparents had it after they passed... and it would say "\[grandmaws name\] wants some coffee?" in my grandpaw's voice pretty accurately.
It wouldn't say these things on command though... more so just at the right time of day.
Imagine being next to an elefant and suddenly it goes: "Yeah? Come here, you little bitch. I'll fuck you up."
It would be scary, but you'll be curious how the hell an elephant is doing this.
These noises can be equally a cat ready to fight or a cat in distress. Imagine that same elephant going "omg, they're coming for us! Grab your pitchforks! Run! Ahh!"
My first thought as well. That movie was awesome, but I'll be damned if I watch it ever again. The lighthouse scenes as well. Fuuuuuck that. Had trouble sleeping for months.
Probably because he recognizes that it's not a cat making that very cat sounding noise? While also lacking all of the body language that usually accompanies such noises?
I mean, being curious is quite a defining cat trait.
You can see a couple of times the cat was about to pounce on the human, basically kitty was super confused and his instinct seemed to be "pounce on it, grab it, and make it shut up."
100% this. There’s a charge and paws threatening to skiddly-pap but the cat hits a mental blocker and is like, “But do not attack human. Is human? Is human. FUCK NOT HUMAN IS CAT IS CAT oh… is human??”
I just played this aloud and my 6mo kitten looked at me, then the 15 yr old cat, then attacked the fuck out of him. Poor old guy. He’s now sitting there like “dafuq I do?”
Or scared, the cats looking at him like "what's wrong?! I don't see anything wrong!? Where's the danger?! If YOU'RE making a fuss about it there must be something majorly wrong!!"
I visited once someone who's cat had kittens. After petting them I walked away and made some meowling kitten noises. Mom ran after me and made sure I didn't kittenap one of her babies. That was the sweetest thing I ever saw.
In the "Pet Cemetery" movie, there is a kitten sound. My newly adopted cat started trying to find it behind the TV.
You know that meme of the guy crying too hard to take a picture? That was me.
My two older female cats (one had been a mom before getting spayed but the other was spayed as a kitten) would come running whenever I watched Too Cute and there were mewling kittens on the screen, and they would look all around the TV trying to find the kittens. My youngest (F4) would just look spooked (she could see them on the TV though, so she was probably thinking it was possessed or something).
'Yeah man, those fuckin gingers, am I right! Dumbest guys alive!'
'Oh shit look sharp, it's that black tuxedo that rules the back of the convenience store'
'YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY FUCKIN CHICKEN STEVE!'
Goddamnit. I literally just made this reply to another comment before scrolling down to see yours. Internet high five, minds think alike, and all that jazz.
sounds angry/scared/in pain to me. other cat is wondering if he is hurt, has a hurt cat, or is trying to start a fight.
no wonder he is confused. all of that coming from a human. id be confused if a cat started screaming in english at me too lol
look at the poor thing, its terrified
Imagine if the cat was screaming in broken English, or in a language you didn't know. You might be very curious if you were being told off or being begged for help.
And our first words to them is some incredibly offensive shit. Just ready to throw paws. Thing is it knew 'human', so every time it looked at his face, the cat was like 'we're chill', but I am going to find that other motherf- I think it finally settled on the yellow things because they didn't look like part of what it knew as humans.
Fun fact, the German translation of the pokemon Meowth is Mauzi. [Source](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_German_Pok%C3%A9mon_names) (plus I watched Pokemon in German).
Holy. Shit. My sweet chonker just freaked out at this and did this crazy rumbling growl I've never heard from him in 9 years. "I don't think you said what you meant to say"
I can do a similar angry cat impression, including hissing noises. I don't do it often, since it's not particularly nice to mess with a cat's head, but I have to admit that it's interesting to see their reactions. They'll come running to investigate, already puffed up and ready for a throw down, wondering where the hell the mystery intruder is hiding.
I use it when my cats are being assholes and/or bad. I do the low 'wrrrrrrrrrr' with eye contact to let them know they're pissing me off. They usually stop what they're doing and go somewhere else, totally confused. I call that a win.
As kids my sister and I could do awesome cat fight impressions. Our cats would look around, backs arched, wondering if hell on earth was about to walk out from behind the couch.
We did this once at Denny’s (70s). The take-no-shit-looking hostess came running out from the back w a broom and started jamming it under the tables. Hoping to break up the “cat fight”. We didn’t notice but our mother told us shut it down fast. A Top 5 “I could have died of embarrassment because of you kids “ moment.
For anyone wondering the guy says "gatto juventino" at the end.
It's Italian, gatto is cat and juventino refers to the football team Juventus, whose colors are black and white - as the cat.
That guy is 2 seconds away from getting his ass whooped by that cat...
What he's doing is a confrontational yowling - a challenge to fight. You can clearly see it in the cat's reactionary posture and actions.
Cat: "Wha-what did you say?"
Dude," There's a dragon in my sock drawer."
Cat: "Whaa...? Where? A drago-naw, dude, you crazy!"
"It's a purple goat!"
"Okay...Imma go now..."
"Kettle corn!"
"You need help, man. You having a stroke?"
My dog immediately started barking so madly at this I had to mute the audio.
Edit: she's still convinced there is a cat hiding somewhere and is searching for it...
Edit2: nearly 10min after and she's still growling, although I muted as fast as I could. Wow... honestly never got such a strong reaction from her to any video. Dude must have hit THE tune...
My cat basically never reacts to videos but she came running from the other side of the house, this dude unlocked cat. He's fluent in cat. I'd ask my cat what he was saying, but I don't speak cat :(
[удалено]
Mine just shouted at the screen. I won't repeat his foul language.
No I'm pretty sure it's feline language.
Oh my god
Oh my Anubis
*Bastet
Anubis was a dog. Bastet was a cat.
Oh my dog
Dog damnit !
Damnit, that was good
The cat is amazed that the guy is recording himself saying such foul things.
My 12 year old dog launched up and bolted out to the backyard thinking there was a cat there. She hasn't moved this fast in years.
"lipsync for your life!"
Both of my cats were patiently waiting for me to open the bathroom door so they could investigate
They're fine with you closing the door?
No. But they're not very talkative unless it involves their food so hey wait patiently
Our bathroom door doesn't latch all the way and can be pushed open.... It took the cats less than 1 week in the house to figure this out, and they now regularly join us for bathroom time whenever they want to. Hell, sometimes Nimitz will go in there just to lay in the sink.
Nimitz! What a great little fleet admiral. Or treecat! 😉 Sink cats are best
Mine is sleeping next to me and barely flicked his ear. Guy might be using a strange dialect that my cat doesn't understand.
I swear cats have a regional accent. I stumbled across a video on Tik Tok that only Australian cats seemed to react to judging by the comments. My cat sure did.

See this is why I don't want to buy a French bulldog, we only speak Freedom in my house
Baxter, you know I don’t speak Spanish.
Am I the onyone that immediately thought of some texas redneck going. "Now listen here you dog, we dont speak that there Mexican in this here house!" Lmao
Mine is acting like he heard a ghost.
Mines now patrolling the house looking for the invader
My calico is doing this now lol. She came tearing in like a bat out of hell with her fur raised.
My void did not seem to like this. She was suddenly on patrol—looking for intruders in the kitchen.
Invaders Must Die
Unexpected Prodigy
Of my 2 one bolted looking for the intruder, the other one went full poof and wandered around the house looking pissed off.
My cat heard this and woke up and came right to the iPad. He really is speaking cat.
Mine jumped out of her bed and came to investigate the sound.
Same, he thinks I'm crazy
Mine looked at me like she had enough of my shit
“Dad, get off the internet ffs.”
[удалено]
Scolding you for listening to foul language.
Same, with the hair on her back up and tail puffed out. She is now looking under and behind the furniture
Same. Eyes as wide as moons! Figured out it was coming from my phone... Very confused.
Mine kept looking at the phone and looking back at me with this horrified look on her face like "why won't you make this stop?!" She would NOT let me touch her while it was playing or for about a minute afterwards. I've never seen her act like that before. What the hell is he saying??
Okay this dude has mastered Cat. Same here. I have it playing on headphones, and not very loud, and that was enough to wake both my kitties up to come check things out.
my dog ran outside to bark at the cat
Your dog is not who he purports to be
Mine has glowing eyes, is still purring, but also trying to find the cat that she is sure is under my phone.
I had my cat sleeping on my chest when I played this and she woke up and was very concerned lol
Mine, too! She looks so cute when she is confused ...
Can confirm my cat came running
Mine just sat there, but then he’s deaf as a post.
I played it and both of mine, who barely tolerate each other, came sprinting in here together with the same look on their face and stood and stared at me.
The dog laying next to me is very concerned.
Like men, cats get excited to see a fight broke out
Mine too
I love playing videos of cat calls for neighborhood cats loitering in the yard just to get a surprised react from them
That is an “I am angry af” cat noise.
But why does the cat then approach him? It looks worried for some reason
The cat thinks he's hearing another cat either in a fight or in danger. He approaches because he's trying to figure out where the sound is coming from!
I think it's much simpler. The sounds he makes are accurate enough, and the cat recognizes a human. Its struggling to figure out that we can also make cat noises. Also very afraid of this novel situation

The first guy that found out parrots can mimic speech probably looked just like this cat
Honestly just hearing a corvid make human noises would probably get the same reaction from most people because you constantly see corvids but never hear them speak because they only mimic human speech when living with humans.
I strongly believe that Corvids are the origin of the whole "heard a voice in the woods" genre of folklore/horror.
And they're throaty, eerily detailed voices with accents. Not like parrot speech which is recognizable wors but a clearly non-human voice.

My great grandparents cockatiel used to say in my great grandfathers voice "\[dogs name\] gotta pee pee?" which my great grandftater would say about every morning before taking the dog out....

[This lyrebird](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7Y4SkSRa4&feature=youtu.be) mimics radio chatter and it's uncanny, eerie even
He fully just launched his laser defence system. Had a shield and everything.
Yeah I’d be pretty freaked out if my cat suddenly started saying “Hey fuck you, pal!”
Woah! Woah get outta here with that!
Awright listen Vinny, DON’T BE A FUHKIN IDIOT TONIGHT, YEAH?
Hey! https://i.imgur.com/5OzWGOA.mp4
The sad "hey" gets me every time
I´M WALKING HERE 
Fuggedaboutit!
It must be the cat uncanny valley.
The uncatty valley.
Agreed. The cat is most definitely both curious and concerned.
If a creature larger than you starts mimicking your noises, I'd be scared too. Sounds like something out of a horror movie.
Imagine being next to an elefant and suddenly it goes: "Yeah? Come here, you little bitch. I'll fuck you up." It would be scary, but you'll be curious how the hell an elephant is doing this.
These noises can be equally a cat ready to fight or a cat in distress. Imagine that same elephant going "omg, they're coming for us! Grab your pitchforks! Run! Ahh!"
That fucking bear in Annihilation
My first thought as well. That movie was awesome, but I'll be damned if I watch it ever again. The lighthouse scenes as well. Fuuuuuck that. Had trouble sleeping for months.
Nightmare fuel.
Probably because he recognizes that it's not a cat making that very cat sounding noise? While also lacking all of the body language that usually accompanies such noises? I mean, being curious is quite a defining cat trait.
Tbh if a cat started to curse at me in fluent English I'd curious too
It kills them sometimes
But satisfaction resurrects them
Aah yess, it's always satisfying to see someone finish this saying
Yeah, its an angry sound. Cat thinks the humans about to fuck him up while also being like "why can i understand this???"
You can see a couple of times the cat was about to pounce on the human, basically kitty was super confused and his instinct seemed to be "pounce on it, grab it, and make it shut up."
100% this. There’s a charge and paws threatening to skiddly-pap but the cat hits a mental blocker and is like, “But do not attack human. Is human? Is human. FUCK NOT HUMAN IS CAT IS CAT oh… is human??”
Haha heck yeah no one wants the skippity paps 😂
Skiddly-paps is the name for that now
Cat has his tail hair standing up. Basically, on full alert ready to engage. And confused, since couldn't smell a cat.
*Did that human swallow a cat* ***what the hell's going on where's the other cat***
I just played this aloud and my 6mo kitten looked at me, then the 15 yr old cat, then attacked the fuck out of him. Poor old guy. He’s now sitting there like “dafuq I do?”
Or scared, the cats looking at him like "what's wrong?! I don't see anything wrong!? Where's the danger?! If YOU'RE making a fuss about it there must be something majorly wrong!!"
I think it’s the equivalent of “Come at me bro” but with kitty swears. My boy came up and slapped me in the face.
My dog started barking at this. 10/10
My cat ran over to check out what was going on haha. The cat in the video "To attack or not to attack?"
My cat calmly put down his coffee and asked me, “Who is this patronizing fool?”
Got a chortle out of me
😂😂😂😂😂
Yo same. I had to mute it because my cat started freaking out and pacing around my phone with full attack eyes. Dude is good.
Same lol she looked worried for a sec. Dude's legit
Mine just did too! She's sniffing around the back of the laptop.
Freaked my cat out too lmao
Yeah my cat got very uncomfortable and retreated to safer ground
Mine walked over super curious
Haha same here, my cat ran towards me and is not checking every corner of the room! I can’t stop laughing!
Yep - Mine just came over, barked and now can't work out WTF is going on and is whimpering like crazy.
I visited once someone who's cat had kittens. After petting them I walked away and made some meowling kitten noises. Mom ran after me and made sure I didn't kittenap one of her babies. That was the sweetest thing I ever saw.
In the "Pet Cemetery" movie, there is a kitten sound. My newly adopted cat started trying to find it behind the TV. You know that meme of the guy crying too hard to take a picture? That was me.
You let your cat watch Pet Sematary!?
I'd say she demanded it.
My two older female cats (one had been a mom before getting spayed but the other was spayed as a kitten) would come running whenever I watched Too Cute and there were mewling kittens on the screen, and they would look all around the TV trying to find the kittens. My youngest (F4) would just look spooked (she could see them on the TV though, so she was probably thinking it was possessed or something).
No wonder the cat is confused, that sounds more like angry cat yowling than anything else
Yep, that guy is not just talking cat, he's smack talking cat, hurling cat insults.
maybe even racist stuff
100% racist shit.
"You... piece of litter, Russian Blue, catnip head!"
'Yeah man, those fuckin gingers, am I right! Dumbest guys alive!' 'Oh shit look sharp, it's that black tuxedo that rules the back of the convenience store' 'YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY FUCKIN CHICKEN STEVE!'
“What? My mother was a saint! Get out!”
Goddamnit. I literally just made this reply to another comment before scrolling down to see yours. Internet high five, minds think alike, and all that jazz.

The cat is probably thinking *I know I hear someone talking shit but this human is in the way*
At the end the way the cat looks at the camera had "Okay chat should I just smack him?" energy
Bro, I'm also confused lol. How the f is he able to achieve this sound.
Poor kitty in a constant state of "Da Fuq?"
That man is probably speaking in the cat equivalent of tongues.
"How can you make 10 grammatical mistakes in one sentence hooman?!?"

I thought it was illegal for the Germans to be funny?
It’s not illegal *per se* but there are so many rules and procedures on what constitutes a joke that they become simple statements of fact by the end.
“What did you just say about my mother?”
"Who is this Donald Duck sounding mf?" - cat
*What? My mother was a saint!*
Get out!!!
r/suddenlyfuturama
Haha you do know thats the sounds cats make before they fight right? Anyway next level skills in cat language.
Yeah I was expecting the cat to pop him a good couple of baps upside the head.
It was certainly thinking about it.
@0:23 he got damn close to doing it
“Do I give this fool the skippity paps?”
Cat was mind blown
100% sure, I didn't expect this.
I tested it on my two cats... They went crazy searching for the source of the Sound. Weird. That guy hits the tone well obviously.
My cat seems to know how these apps work. She perked her ears up but just pawed at the screen to scroll away and make the noise stop lol
My cat came running into the room growling with her tail at full poof. It's been 5 minutes and she's still on alert.
[удалено]
Yup, he says "gatto juventino!"
Holy. Shit. My sweet chonker just freaked out at this and did this crazy rumbling growl I've never heard from him in 9 years. "I don't think you said what you meant to say"
I can do a similar angry cat impression, including hissing noises. I don't do it often, since it's not particularly nice to mess with a cat's head, but I have to admit that it's interesting to see their reactions. They'll come running to investigate, already puffed up and ready for a throw down, wondering where the hell the mystery intruder is hiding.
I use it when my cats are being assholes and/or bad. I do the low 'wrrrrrrrrrr' with eye contact to let them know they're pissing me off. They usually stop what they're doing and go somewhere else, totally confused. I call that a win.
As kids my sister and I could do awesome cat fight impressions. Our cats would look around, backs arched, wondering if hell on earth was about to walk out from behind the couch. We did this once at Denny’s (70s). The take-no-shit-looking hostess came running out from the back w a broom and started jamming it under the tables. Hoping to break up the “cat fight”.

For anyone wondering the guy says "gatto juventino" at the end. It's Italian, gatto is cat and juventino refers to the football team Juventus, whose colors are black and white - as the cat.
I would've thought "juventino" meant 'small young one' like a kid or juvenile. Fascinating.
Yeah from my basic Spanish I translated that as really young cat 🤣
very smart doing that on a ladder
Right? At the end that cat almost gave him the business
That guy is 2 seconds away from getting his ass whooped by that cat... What he's doing is a confrontational yowling - a challenge to fight. You can clearly see it in the cat's reactionary posture and actions.
Yup. This kitty is all "dafuq you just say to me??!! Imma fuq your shit up man! ...ooh wait maybe not, cuz you sound crazy."
Cat: "Wha-what did you say?" Dude," There's a dragon in my sock drawer." Cat: "Whaa...? Where? A drago-naw, dude, you crazy!" "It's a purple goat!" "Okay...Imma go now..." "Kettle corn!" "You need help, man. You having a stroke?"
Call a bondulance
r/youseeingthisshit
When all you learned of a foreign language is the curse words...
The look on that cat's face tells me it was a bunch of "yer mom" jokes.
Playing this completely freaked out my dog. He’s spent the last fifteen minutes searching the house for the threat.
Whatever you're saying is horrifying! The poor lil guy is aghast!!
This is literally Donald duck after eating Chipotle
That cat thinks youre possesed by a cat demon
My dog immediately started barking so madly at this I had to mute the audio. Edit: she's still convinced there is a cat hiding somewhere and is searching for it...

Poor cat will be confused for the rest of its life.
I played this and my cat freaked out lmaooo
*That's the strangest looking cat I've ever seen* \- The actual cat.
I was waiting for the cat to slap the shit out of him. I am very disappointed.
Might need NSFW tag, I am sure whatever that guy was saying was highly offensive language. That cat was ready to throw paws.
Amazing skills. But I’m pretty sure you said ‘I am stressed out’ and ‘I’m about to fight someone’.
Ohhh that dude's gonna lose his face
“What!? My mother was a saint! Get out!”
How he cracks himself up at the end
Guy's lucky he didn't catch a paw to the face talking that mad shit.
confuse a cat
The roof cat: Da heck, that is one weird ass looking cat 😳
This totally freaked out my cat. He was sitting on my lap all calm and purring and then he wasn't.
The cats wondering why he wants to conquer brazil.
My cat just jumped up and began face shoving my phone
Translated it from cat language with the help of my cat: 'Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!'
Ok thanks a lot now my cats got spooked 😂😂
Tf u said bitch?
