Cats are mostly cute when playing around in your living room or adorably asking for a full-body rub, but the hidden truth is that they are vicious little masterminds. While we consider them unintelligible animals who do nothing but laze around, they are actually plotting their next move to scare the bejesus out of us. Even going as far as to challenge the universal truths!
There was a time when only scientists could challenge the laws of physics, but not anymore. Now cats can do it too! They can hang from a wall like a ninja with no support whatsoever and even levitate in mid-air. This might sound unbelievable right now, but wait till you see the proof in the photos below!
Phantom Cat
On the first look, it seems like nothing is out of the blue, but at a second glance, the picture is definitely baffling! It takes a moment to understand what's happening, and for people, who still haven't figured out, allow us to explain.
There is an open cardboard box on one side of the glass, and on the other side, there is the cat positioned perfectly in-sync with the reflection of the box! This shot is the ideal example of perfect timing. Well, if you can't make it, then fake it!
Where Did It Go?
There is no shortage of videos where a cat taunts a dog by playing the sneaky game of hide 'n' sneak or punching with their little claws. It seems like this is also what's happening here. The poor pup is looking for its partner-in-crime, but cannot find the cat anywhere. Alas! If only it looked up!
The feline is hanging on to its dear life on the door frame, trying to remain hidden from the prodding eyes of the overzealous dog. We get it - siblings can be annoying, and you need to get creative to elude them.
What's That Growing On The Branch?
That is a peculiar kind of leaf growing on the tree, wouldn't you agree? It also seems like it would be a great idol for cat worshippers! This gorgeous cat royalty is perched ever so tactfully that it just makes us question the laws of Physics!
Thankfully, we do not have to scratch our heads too much to figure out how in the world that cat is hanging on to that branch. Specialists explain that they are biologically gifted beings and are born with curved, retractable claws that allow them to climb steep structures.
No Area No Problem!
The only question that arises in mind after seeing this scene is – How!? The cat is standing on the handle of a car as if space is not an issue. We cannot possibly fathom any sensible explanation on how it has managed to achieve this baffling feat.
As the kitty looks meaningfully towards the owner, it seems like it is trying to convey a message. Maybe it is an attempt to stop anybody from getting in the vehicle or just a tactic to annoy and throw a tantrum, who knows?
Spider-Cat To The Rescue
Good luck to the unfortunate owner whose trying to locate the cat because nobody in their right minds would think to look on the top of that wall! Apparently, for this furry animal, gravity is not a hindrance. The wall provides a perfect surface for the feline's curved claws and allows it to dig its nails into the structure for a strong grip.
When pets develop and learn the superhero abilities of spider-man, then you have truly seen everything. In a neighborhood where the spider-cat is present, there will be no fear of mouses.
Just Hanging Around
This cat has mastered the art of turning into a bat, the creature of the night. The big and round eyes may give the illusion of being innocent, but the whole act itself is far from it! Picture your pet just casually hanging from a curtain, and you walking in - we can only imagine the surprise.
It is no secret that our meowing companions like to hide in many bizarre sports around the house, but this is certainly new! Yet, cats actually do have the ideal strength in their hind legs to jump high and maneuver complicated spaces.
Love For The Tap
This position doesn't look very comfortable to just chill in. It is also ironic because cats are known for their aversion towards getting wet. What goes on in a cat's mind? We will never know!
On the other hand, this may be a new advanced yoga pose that we are not aware of! Or the kitty is trying to drink water straight from the tap because it tastes better upside down? It also could have fallen asleep after waiting to quench its thirst. At this point, we can only guess!
Gone Sideways
A sofa is a great place for these cute furballs to lie on and relax, but this particular kitty seems to have chosen a peculiar position to do so! Instead of sitting on the empty cushions with plenty of space, it decided to lie sideways on an armrest.
Giving credit where it's due, this whole idea is definitely creative! It also seems like an ideal surface where the retractable claws can grip the surface and cling to it like Velcro, making the task quite easy. It might not be comfortable for humans, but it looks like it is comfortable for the cat!
Sticky Cat
After seeing the cats on this list, we are now convinced that they have superpowers with great flexible skills. This particular purrer seems uncharacteristically chipper with its stunt of sticking on the door's net, and is eagerly waiting for the owner to see!
Blessed with great anatomy, felines have the wondrous capabilities to do amazing things. So, if you are in doubt or think that it is just a figment of your imagination, then no, cats are just unique and a little weird! Although one thing is for sure, we love them so much and wouldn't change a thing about them.
Leaning with Style
Despite the generalization as independent and (sometimes) overbearing pets, cats still enjoy leaning on their owners, and showing that they love them. However, some take it to the next level, and show affection while doing ridiculous things! Take a look at the picture - the feline successfully shocked everybody, as it was able to slant to its partner while standing at the edge of the chair!
Besides, it seems that the cat was smart enough to locate the camera and even struck a pose! No wonder the photo successfully became an internet sensation back then.
The Flying Cat
Guys, a flying cat does exist, and you can see it right away on the photo! Even without wings, the incredible kitty easily walks through the air, just like a ninja from Japanese legends.
Jokes on you, of course, there are no such things, as it is only a harmless cat from the neighborhood! Let us tell you a secret: its back legs are stepping on a door handle, while the front-right limb holds onto the glass. Thanks to the (quite) perfect angle, it looks like its strolling through an invisible platform!
A Mufasa Wannabe
Here's a 'Lion King' flashback. The photo unconsciously reminds us of that heartbroken scene, where Mufasa struggled at the edge of the cliff and fell to the valley. But worry not - in this case, we believe that the kitty is safe and sound after falling from that door!
Yes, the cat is such a natural free-falling athlete. In fact, some records mention that the species can leave unscratched after falling from a five-story house! Well, the lore about cats having nine lives does ring true when you think of this ability, don't you agree?
Reverse Gravity
Reverse gravity only exists in sci-fi movies, but what we are witnessing right now changes that perspective! The cat looks like its being sucked upwards without any implemented device in the ceiling. What else can be blamed except the earth's inverted force?
Nonetheless, we can conclude that it is only a great shot from a (probably) professional photographer after seeing the falling bowl on the left side. This naughty pet wanted to take the dish that didn't belong to it and fell from imbalance. It seems like karma does exist, even for an animal!
The Cat Yogi
It is common for expert Yoga practitioners to bend their limbs with ease, and some of them can even fit into small spaces, such as one square meter boxes or suitcases! But don't ever compare their twisting skill to cats, as even the greatest pilates master will leave in shame after witnessing their flexibility.
The photo shows it all – this cat is a natural-born yoga genius! Without any exercise, it is able to turn the body 90 degrees, resembling a letter "L." Seeing those talents, we cannot imagine what they'd be able to do after a three-month extensive pilates class!
The Adorable Hunter
Cats never cease to amaze us, as they often do some ridiculous yet fascinating acts! After witnessing a flying feline to movie character portrayals, we now see the same being with another unique pose. This time, it is a reverse tabby who defies gravity, all while maintaining its adorable face - super cute!
Let us present a fun fact for you, kitten lover - this unique stance that the cat does is a biological trait for hunting, as most of the wild feline species spy their prey with a similar position. Yet, not upside down, of course!
The Little Magician
Who doesn't love magic? In the past, an illusionist's performance was already well-known as a trickery game rather than pure supernatural power, yet people somehow still enjoyed it. But what if we say that there are other species aside from humans who can play magic tricks? Without a doubt, it will be way more mindblowing!
Just like the image here - as you can notice, a quarter of the feline's upper body comfortably sits on the table, while the other part levitates. If David Copperfield could see this, he would definitely recruit this little kitten for his next show!
Superhero in Disguise
Yes, what you are witnessing right now isn't a CGI or post-production effect - it is yet another cat defying common sense! Based on what the owner said on the post, the pet jumped from the ground to the thin door's upper edge swiftly. Although we don't know what was its actual motive, observing the action alone is shocking enough.
After seeing it for quite a long time, we suddenly remember something. The cat's pose resembles one of the Marvel universe characters, Spider-man! What if it is actually a real-life superhero in disguise? You never know!
A New Species
Scientists usually discover most new species, yet this "Dachshund cat" is an unusual case. After a random guy uploaded a super-long-body feline picture, and it gained considerable attention from the netters in no time! Some even suggested that it was a new variation of a domestic animal!
Obviously, it was not, as the scholars would have already created another academic article if the photo was real. In fact, the camera angle and its weird pose created that illusionary long body. Well, thanks to the random photographer, the cat successfully became a temporary social media star.
Cat-Alien
We all know that a cat is an intelligent being, even among the other domesticated animals. But there is something wrong in this picture, as the cat's facial texture looks way smarter than the usual ones. Besides, it seems to observe the surroundings while sitting on top of a car, just like a curious person!
Some people even took the photo in a conspiratorial way, mentioning that there was a UFO plane in the sky. Hmm - if we observe it closely, there is indeed a strange-looking thing in the background. So is this cutesy creature an alien? We aren't sure either.
Newton's Third Law
Newton would have been proud of this cat who has an amazing sense of balance, even whilst asleep! We wonder if us humans can manage to stay balanced between the cracks for this long and escape unhurt.
Unlike many of us, this cat paid attention to all its physics 101 lessons! It knows the exact amount of force that has to be exerted to stay put between the couch and the side table. Now, how it wakes up without a thud on the floor will be a sight to watch.
Jenga Tower
Now, where do we get started on the laziness of this cat! While many felines in this list have performed a few death and gravity-defying stunts, this one is content with its little party trick.
While looking considerably plump, it is seated on a bunch of cardboard boxes that show no promise of stability! Is it only us, or does it resemble a Jenga tower that may go down anytime soon? The audacious cat tops it all with an intense look - this one is for those questioning its choice of sleeping place!
Hanging Out There
Looking at the acrobatic prowess, we wouldn't be surprised if this cat is chosen for the next mission impossible instead of Ethan Hunt! Holding on to the door's frame, this cat probably doesn't know the 'gravity' of the situation. But it does look like those tiny paws are giving it enough support to hang completely upside down.
We don't know who to blame - the naughty cat or the irresponsible owner who let it get to this. That being said, we hope the adventurous kitty came out of the situation unscathed.
Another Lion King Remake
We all remember the heartbreaking scene where Mufasa is pushed off the cliff by his arch-nemesis in the popular animation film 'The Lion King.' In what seems to be a re-enactment of the movie, these two cats are exchanging intense looks in the house's loft.
It is worth noting that both cats appear to be quite composed despite being caught in a fix. Unfortunately, we'll never know if the one hanging in the air was saved or not. The tables might have turned this time, and Mufasa probably escaped unhurt!
Optical Illusion
If you just tilted your head 90 degrees towards the right, then you can rest assured that the majority of us did the same! We don’t know how this cat is pulling off the balancing act since there is very little support for its body. Nevertheless, the sight is a treat for sore eyes!
The cat is probably as puzzled, and from the looks of it, the owner seems to be walking on the wall too. Talk about the amount of work these sly felines give to our brains and necks!
Spider-Catman
Yes, we know that the look on the owner’s face is priceless! You might be amused by the possessed cat, but we are more interested in the man. He is either regretting the fact that he ever brought a cat home or worried because another screen door needs to be changed.
As far as the cat is concerned, it was probably bitten by a radioactive spider, or it was simply time for its daily bath! What else could explain the phenomenal climbing abilities and that extraordinary grip on a flat surface?
Cat Conundrum
Now here's an impatient one! The cat was so desperate to get the drapes opened that it hopped on to the window sill with a show of acrobatics. Little did it know that there is no going back from there.
The real mystery is not how the cat landed there, but what its doing near the window. Mr. Pur Pur is probably anticipating someone for supper, or there are cute kittens playing in the garden. We might as well call the nook 'Kitty Corner' if it plans on staying there for long!
Funny Side Up
We have often used a coin for rounds of 'heads or tails' in sports matches and math experiments. But now, there is a predicament that doesn't let us come to a conclusion! The cat is sleeping on the couch in such a tactful manner that we cannot figure out its head nor tail.
This could be a tad dangerous since the cat could be mistaken for a cushion and get thrown around. It would be even worse if someone sat on it, thinking that it is just the design of the couch!
Perch Perfect
By the looks of it, someone is going to get an earful today! This cat cum boss has some genuinely scary looks, and the fact that it is sitting on top of a perch makes it look even more terrifying. How it manages to maintain its balance and center of gravity is surely among nature's unexplainable phenomenons!
Can cats sing, too? In case you missed it, there is a huge mic right next to the chair, which could be an excellent source of entertainment. It is a perfect time for a rendition of ‘Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty,’ isn’t it?
Spider-Catman 2
Studies show that cats are the naughtiest-yet-adorable creatures on earth. Okay, so our sources for this particular stat might be unreliable, but we know for a fact that those cute little felines can be a handful. For instance, look at this dazed cat, which is making leaps and bounds!
We don’t know which gentle soul decided to send this animal on exile, but it won’t give up without a fight. It is probably screaming, ‘you better let me in if you want this screen door to see through till the end of this year.’
