22 Hissterical Cats Overreacting to Things That Were Literally Just Sitting There

You know those moments… when you are chilling with your cats, and everything seems completely fine, but out of nowhere, your cat will just jump for no reason? Yeah, we love those moments. They are just kind of funny to us. It can happen anytime and for any reason. You never expect it. You can never see it coming. But every single time that it happens, every time your cat gets spooked by literally nothing, you laugh about it afterward. Just because it's funny.

Cats are so easily startled, and they get startled by the silliest things. In fact, there is a whole section of the internet that talks about the silly things that spooked their cats today every single day. Those things range all the way from someone sneezing to humans walking next to a window to… just nothing. And each and every post of that kind makes us smile and reminds us of just how much we love our own little scaredy cats at home.

And really, that is a completely appropriate reaction to people walking outside. Or people walking. Or people. Sometimes, there really are just that startling, and you have to take a moment to take the reality of that in… in the most hisstercial position possible.

Now that is just being inconsiderate. Would you not react in the same way if someone blew something unexpected at you? We thought so. Now, go and apologize to him right away, and bring snacks or your apology will not be accepted.
