You know those moments… when cats do crazy things, and you wonder what the heck is going on through their minds when you do it? Like when your cat steals food right off your plate as if you can't see it. What is it thinking? Or when your cat screams at yet another closed door for no apparent reason. Why? Or when your cat robs a store and steals 3 sausages. Why 3, why now, why that store? So many question, so little answers. 

Well, one cat has come to give us his purrspective. This cat went on an adventure… accidentally. One does not fall out of a window on purpose usually. And instead of having his human recall the story afterward, this cat has given us his own perspective on the matter and has given answers to all of our questions.

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat Ok so, about yesterday *** ALT 2:09 AM - Jun 13, 2024 - 424.6K Views

    This is quickly becoming one of our favorite accounts on X. @JortsTheCat telling stories about his life in such silly ways is something that makes us smile all the time, and considering the number of times he has gone viral lately, we think that the rest of the internet agrees.

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat I was just getting some fresh air and I noticed a bug. I crammed my large and heavy orange body under the slightly open window and climbed the window screen. Alas 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 36.3K Views

    It's just that you literally never know where these stories will go. And we love that. Somehow, Jorts manages to capture the exact chaos that it is to have cats (and be a cat) through these threads. We're obsessed.

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat As I was plummeting, I clung to the screen like a magic carpet, and landed in the bushes. A passerby observed the whole incident and began trying to assist. ... I am an inside cat, but I found myself being chased by a stranger all over the outside. A lot was going on 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 35.2K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat I will acknowledge that in my surprise I was not all that gracious. I scrumpt some screams. I'm going to admit that screams definitely got scrumpt. An investigation will confirm facts but I suspect a Jorts involved scratching occurred 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 78.1K Views ...

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat The sound of the well intended passerby and also my howling attracted the attention of my coworkers. One of them walked outside and picked me up (pictured) and brought me inside where I hid under a chair to regain my composure 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 35.6K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat Because I am extremely charismatic, a veterinarian agreed to come visit and count my toes or whatever. I'm 100% fine despite my magic carpet ride. No lost time, no workers compensation required 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 34.8K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat ... If I HAD been hurt while working at my job of being a cat, that would have been covered. But I suspect that cramming my body into a remarkably small opening and dislodging a screen is probably not a violation of the general duty clause bc it was so ridiculous of me. That said, 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 32.7K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat Now that this incident has taken place, any responsible employer would take steps to prevent future incidents. Maybe you didn't expect flying carpet window falls, but here we are. Fallen. This was a “near miss” incident so a great time to prevent future mishap or injury 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 32.8K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat I'm getting sidetracked here talking about OSHA but anyway. Yes I accidentally fell out of the window. I'm fine but it was weird ALT 2:09 AM ⚫ Jun 13, 2024 - 88K Views

    Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat ... I also accidentally broke a mug but that is unrelated and those pieces are mostly pushed under the cabinet and tbh I am not even sure anyone noticed it. The mug is beside the point 2:09 AM Jun 13, 2024 40.3K Views
