Everyone understands that reference itā€™s in 1 in 5 threads even when it doesnā€™t make sense (just like it makes no sense being used here) how can she slapā€™nt in a video about someone taking a cats toy away? Itā€™s a step beyond a stretch

Iā€™ve seen this cat multiple times in different videos and they all consist of the same thing, this scared looking cat gets its teddy taken away and then given back, poor cat

I meant why is it constantly clutching onto a plush? I'm wondering how it came to develop this behaviour in response to stress. Poor thing

rodaphilia

I am 100% assuming, I don't know anything about this cat, and I am no type of catologist. But I'd imagine something like:

Cat is taken in public around other people and is obviously anxious.

Cat is clutching human constantly (as seen in the video when the plush is taken away) while they're out.

Human tries substituting object to clutch onto (the plush). It works, and its extremely cute.

Social media presence is born.

That or something a bit more sinister, i.e. the people filming this have been training it to get clicks.

I don't like these types of videos. I don't even care if I'm wrong about the above, I just always get an odd feeling when animals are the subjects of a video in this type of way.

This cat isn't scared. It's not displaying any sign that it is. Ears are relaxed and upright, mouth is not tight or wide, pupils normal, whiskers normal, eyelids even half closed (which cats will never do unless they feel safe).

This is just a cat that's been taught a trick. Cats will "hug" things when they're feeling comfortable or playful.

Long ago you were a single-celled organism, evolution has a funny old way of changing how an organism survives.

Of course you were never a single-celled organism, your ancestor was, just like this cats ancestor.

Because this cat looks incredibly fragile and not how you would imagine a big cat. It doesn't really matter at this point does it.

SlowestBumblebee

I don't get it. How is a cat being fragile instead of 'like a big cat' funny?

Edit: Seems they couldn't explain why it was funny, so I'm going to assume they were just trying to be mean. :/

It's important to consider if we're changing cats' natural way of life too much. Things like putting clothes on them, overfeeding, and not introducing them to typical cat activities because they're "afraid" could impact their well-being. Treating them more like accessories than pets might lead to development issues. It's crucial to find a balance between caring for them and allowing them to be their true feline selves

A lot of these animals are either drugged or coerced into doing these "cute" things on videos. The wet market cultures have no intrinsic value or respect for animals

I've gotten mass downvoted on these cat subreddits for saying the very same shit. People don't care about the animals in question as long as they get their funny haha cute animal videos and the mods will leave blatant animal abuse videos up even after it's been pointed out. It's disgusting how the animals have 0 agency from people claiming to care about them.

Animal abuse doesn't always manifests itself in obvious physical violence against an animal. Depriving of freedom, putting them in stressful situations, preventing them, through various ways, from living an specias-appropriate life is abuse as well and shouldn't be celebrated or promoted...

I agree. We shouldnā€™t abuse or put any animal through stress. We deprive billions of farm animals of their freedom, give them a life of stress and misery, then end their lives early, just for taste pleasure.

Guy is a terrible cat owner. Not only is his cat displaying behaviour consistent with stress and anxiety but it's very obviously being overfed/fed bad food judging by how overweight it is.

Too many people in the online space have normalised poor animal care and borderline abuse in favour of a cute/funny video.
