Is this real?? cat gif

[SAWYER]

I have never seen a cat do that, this must be fake..right?

It looks real enough: http://wimp.com/frankensteincat/

I've never seen a cat lift its front paws off the ground and walk but I wouldn't be surprised. The back arching this is quite common.

...I don't know if chrome is playing that gif too fast or something but it seriously creeped the hell out of me.

No idea if it's genuine.

It probably dropped to the front paws off screen, assuming it was momentum keeping it "balanced". It's CG was moved farther back in the process by contorting it's back as such too so it doesn't seem so fake to me.

 

[Leros]

It looks like the cat got picked up.

It made me laugh. I can see a cat doing it. They do all sorts of crazy things like that.

And the evolution of biped felines begins. I for one welcome our new furry overlords.

Saw a video of it on last night's RedEye.

 

[Glitchny]

looks like it puts its paws down off screen, not fake but def strange.

/this. It doesn't look like the cat could do that too far. It's center of gravity is off, but if it only did it for that meter, I could see it happening.

Looks like it was just slo-mo'd so it appears to do it for longer. Likely only did it for a small fraction of a second.

It's a shop.

looks pretty fake to me. i've never seen a cat do wheelies, and this one looks just like he's picked up minus the hands.

 

[BabaBooey]

It's a shop.

This.


and this....

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Looks about as legit as the OPs pic

Anyone who has a cat knows right away thats fake... Heck, notice how the front body doesnt change AT ALL after he gets up, because it was just copy pasted into the cat to replace the real one

 

[SandEagle]

i find that gif to be spooky. esp. in front of that bathroom. weird

 

[alkemyst]

cat probably never saw you with your pants off either.

 

[drquest]

It is creepy..... I think someone picked it up by the nape of his neck..

 

[PingSpike]

I don't see why this is impossible, we only see the cat upright for a moment before it goes off camera.

 

[spidey07]

Absolutely real. Cats frequently try to make themselves taller when sizing up something. When defensive or trying to fight the will frequently raise up like that for a brief moment to get a better striking angle.

 

[CurseTheSky]

If the ninja cat from the viral video a couple of months ago can jump / float through the air (seriously, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style) for like 10 feet to grab a bird, I believe this one is plausible.

 

[TechBoyJK]

I think it's real.. saw the actual video last night and he moves much quicker. Momentum holds him up and you can see right before he leaves the field of view he's already coming back down.

Cats do the craziest things, it's probably real, and as mentioned previously it probably landed back on it's front paws off screen.
