Tumblr Thread: Cats Confused By Bird Videos

If you've never tried to make your cat play with bird/fish videos on your laptop, now is the time. They might not care, or maybe they'll just care for a little while, but for the time that they do care, it'll be the funniest thing you've seen your cat do in a while. No, silly kitty, you can't catch the bird on the screen, but it's sure as heck funny to watch how confused you are. 

And goodness, you better hope that they don't accidentally pause the video as they're watching, because the confusion is only going to intensify. Actually, never mind that, pause the video for them and laugh some more. And laugh at this tumblr thread that gives us the best of cats birdwatching on computers while you're at it.

    Honestly, we're impressed that YouTube has this kind of content on offer - catering to all audiences, we see. Very impressive. Now, all we need is to have our cats actually turn their heads towards the screen instead of shoving their bootie into it and sending confusing mails to our bosses.

    Okay, we're convinced, where is that YouTube video? We need it, we need our cats to watch it, we need our cats super confused and cat-musing. 8 hours? That's nothing. So long as our cat is watching, god knows we're spent longer periods watching our cats do nothing at all.

    Font - heereandthere Follow Oh, my God! We used to put these on for my cat!! Whenever we would put it on a phone or tablet, she would try to tap the screen to catch the birds and, at some points, would continuously pause it. Once I put a string video on my phone and she got so excitable about it I had to take it away for fear of her scratching the screen. She loved the videos so much that she got to the point where, any time we had a handheld device, she would come up and stare at it with big ey
