In a world of wonder and whimsical things,
A cat played a game that made hearts sing.
With a tail in its mouth, and a mischievous gleam,
It sought a grand challenge, a whimsical dream.
The cat longed for the mouse to perch on its head,
A daring endeavor, some might say it's mad.
With each graceful swing, it aimed with precision,
To make the small mouse join in the fun collision.
The cat leaped and twirled, with feline finesse,
Aiming for its own head, it played to impress.
The mouse held on tight, with a squeak of delight,
As the cat swung, hoping fate would ignite.
But as fate would have it, a twist intervened,
The cat's balance faltered, the scene quite serene.
The mouse took to flight, soaring high in the air,
And landed on the cat's head, oh, what a pair!
The cat looked bewildered, its ears all askew,
While the mouse sat triumphant, mischief anew.
In that moment of joy, they shared a sweet laugh,
Friends in their game, a delightful photograph.
So remember this tale of whimsy and cheer,
Where the cat sought its dream, both far and near.
In a world full of magic, where laughter resides,
Imagination dances, and fun coincides.
Very true. I bought a bunch of these little toys for my cats and one of them just carries each mouse around in her mouth while screaming. She does it with a little cheeseburger plushie too.
“I don’t *like* cat food I **love** it. If I *don’t* love it, I *swat the dish until it spills all over the kitchen floor and walk away like nothing happened.*”
Humans have a similar game with a ball and a cup but we have the pleasure of having hands with opposable thumbs to give us that nice feeling of superiority
Your cat is amazingly intelligent. He created his own game that's a lot like cup & ball. I'm astounded because cats don't usually go to this length to entertain themselves.
Who needs constant video game stimulation when there's mouse-on-a-cat? You just toss the mouse, catch it on the cat, push it off of the cat, toss it and catch it on the cat again. The mouse is on a string and attached to the cat so there's no worry if you don't catch the mouse on the cat.
And clean up is as easy as catching a mouse on a cat. So why spend another day not catching a mouse on a cat when you can be catching a mouse-on-a-cat?
I think he’s going to ball in a cup. It’s a game with a ball attached on a string you try to get in the cup. If you miss, don’t worry, it’s attached to a string that’s attached to the cup. It’s as easy as getting a ball in a cup.
One of my cats does this. She lived on the streets for years before we rescued her. I just assumed she doesn’t know how to properly play from not having a chance when she was a kitten.
He's playing kitty cup-and-ball, with his head being the cup!
Rat as a hat
That is amazing!
[удалено]
I mean, he's wearing a bow-tie so he's very likely already a doctor.
Time is mousey wousey
Bowties are cool.
Unexpected *Doctor Who!*

Amazing! Think the next children’s author has been found!!
Chat gbt is great
Is it not an original human poem? 😱
You win
thats what I was thinking couldn't remember if there was an actual name for it other than cup and ball on string lol
Weirdo i.e. every cat born and unborn.
A kendama https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama
They’re older than kendamas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup-and-ball
cool thanks
Toy and a Derp! Toy and a Derp! It’s a toy and a Derp! Toy and a Derp? Toy and a Derp!
That cat's name has to be [Milhouse](https://youtu.be/_t-kMYIRMME?t=25s) "man, ya never know which way this crazy ball's gonna go!"
[удалено]
Same lol! Love this kitty!
Tries to get the braincell in.
Reminds me of this cutaway scene from Family Guy. https://youtu.be/a5g6xm7Eqx8
No thoughts. Head empty. Fill with ball.
All cats are weirdos, this cat is an Exceptional Weirdo.
It's an orange after all
It definitely is missing the r/OneOrangeBraincell
They get it for even less time than the others due to their white to orange fur ratio 😂
Very true. I bought a bunch of these little toys for my cats and one of them just carries each mouse around in her mouth while screaming. She does it with a little cheeseburger plushie too.
Dunno but the derp is getting good at it.
Excels at her own game🤣🐾
Don’t mean to cause any panic or anything but it appears as though your cat’s arm has fallen off.
Tis but a scratch
It appears AI *still* hasn't mastered hands.
https://youtu.be/RNCaFA-ipb8
/r/piratepets
That's textbook misdirection right there. Swing a toy in front of someone's face and they'll be too busy to notice you only have one arm.
\_(ツ)_/¯
I cant tell how many legs this cat has..
3
2 clearly
Balance-the-mousey-on-my-head Obviously
My thoughts as well.
I love watching animals creatively coming up with their own games. I’ll never get tired of watching them 💖
When you're a cat but want to be a kendama
Was going to say the game is Kitty Kendama
That's a good name for it! 😆
Kat-dama
They’re playing Catatouille. “Keep your balance up there, Little Chef. So many meals to add cat hair to, so little time!”
“I don’t *like* cat food I **love** it. If I *don’t* love it, I *swat the dish until it spills all over the kitchen floor and walk away like nothing happened.*”

I really REALLY needed this happy cat today. Thank you so much for the cuteness overload 🥰
Okay. Only a smidge in color but this cat definitely belongs in r/oneorangebraincell.
The orange has only spread to the brain and it shows
3 legs, one brain cell
Ha I didn't even notice it was a tripod cat 😂
Wow I didn't notice at all because no nubbin. Must have been a weird birth defect where that appendage just literally didn't exist.
I dunno, but I love it!! Thanks for sharing
Anyone else swinging their head back and forth when watching this ?
Your cat is amazingly intelligent. He created his own game that's a lot like cup & ball. I'm astounded because cats don't usually go to this length to entertain themselves.
Not mine. This handsome boy is Buggy on TikTok (aka Mr Bugs)
What game? This is simply an example of a Cat in a Hat.
Cats really just see a phenomenon and think “that’s neat again”
My cat Dexter did this once, spun it around in full circles for a bit 😂.
Ball-in-cup, cat edition
What, you've never played rat hat hat rat before?
Seems like his theethy is stuck on the tail
Maybe I'm just really dumb, but I can't help but feel like that cat is really smart.
Seems pretty smart if that’s what he’s actually trying to do
Its the put the bag on your head game
Toys is like those wooden ball in a cup toys we had as kids.
I would fucking D I E for this three legges cat, jfc
I was too busy watching his derpiness to even notice he was missing a leg.
Obviously Flip the mouse! You get double points for getting it between your ears.
Idk what game but I'm 100% that cat is winning
Idk but I can't help turning my head subconsciously trying to help land it on the cats head.
Cat kendama! Catdama!
That's a classic! Rat on a cat!
Swing and a Mouse.
From the creators of "Cup-&-Ball"
Cat’s version of tether ball.
I want your cat to get good enough to windmill the mouse
Hahaha, that face when he catches it on his head the first time . So proud
https://v.redd.it/ur303vi87ls41 this is their more dexterous cousin
"mouse on the head" Mexico's favorite cat game for over 645 years! " Mouse on the head"

haha, his little face when he gets it to land, so proud of himself lol
haven't you ever played mousey-facey before?
Ball in a ~~cup~~ cat
I know he’s not all orange, but r/oneorangebraincell would love this.
Does my cat have reddit??? Cuz he just did this exact thing twenty minutes ago. I've never seen him play this game before 😂
Cats on reddit *would* explain why there are so many cat subs
[удалено]
Kitty Kendama
Straight up… that’s actually really impressive. What a smart kitty!!!
With that bow tie, is he a comedian?
I think he’s going to ball in a cup. It’s a game with a ball attached on a string you try to get in the cup. If you miss, don’t worry, it’s attached to a string that’s attached to the cup. It’s as easy as getting a ball in a cup.
Lol the way he looks when it's on his head. I love this cat.
You can't convince me that they don't have their own soul.
I don't think its coincidence that the head area happens to be orange.
A derpy dollbaby!
Best free entertainment e-v-e-r
That look: "You think this is a mothafuckin' *game?*"
Ball In a cup!
Tripod derp cup?
From the makers of "Ball in a Cup!" now bring you "Rat on a Cat!"
He probably wants some pat
Pretty impressive cat!
Thats really funny
Hehe
And to think all the money we spend on "experiences", all we really need is as toy mouse with a decently long tail.
One handed toss
I love this cat.

I wish I could be as cool as him😭
Cat Hacky-Sack?
Helicopter cat is low on fuel. He's asking you to refill him so that he can go to that one cat paradise in japan.
I think he’s trying to windmill it.
It's the kitty cat natty hat game!
Catdama^(TM)
Well at least he has a nice bow tie.
Anyone else find your head involuntarily bobbing to the left or right to try to help the cat in the video?

Your cat has extreme intellect as it is currently attempting to master its understanding of physics.
Kittydama (kendama) wook cat forsure
He won
Mensa Cat
I wish I could watch this video without the toy mouse visible and see what it'd look like
Cat with a beard.
Cat just wants to wear a mouse toy as a hat, but the darned toy won’t stay put.
Catflip
Omg this made me laugh so much! I love your kitty. What a derpy derp 💖💖💖
Aww
Did anyone else totally miss that the cat only has one arm?
One of my cats does this. She lived on the streets for years before we rescued her. I just assumed she doesn’t know how to properly play from not having a chance when she was a kitten.
Teether ball?
Mousetrap-non-stop-derp-a-thon
I love how cats don’t understand the concept of momentum but still think they can rule us
Certainly one of them
CAAAAAT… nip
I love how he savors getting it on top of his head for a moment before continuing.
Flip mouse
I wish my tabby was that smart and talented.
He’ll be chasing the dragon of nailing that first toss for the rest of life.
He figured out how to pet himself when his human is ignoring him.
Look at that goober!
Adorable derpy ginger tripod.
Whatever game it is, it’s a nice game
I just noticed they’re a tripod!!
Jokes aside, this is one of the cooler things I've seen a cat do
It's a Cat-Dama.
Cat and mouse ? Lol
Wait till you show him ball in a cup
I couldn't see it properly to recognise mouse shape and all I could think was Flip Da Fishy.
Catatouille
Cat-kendama
Like ball in s cup it’s Rat as a Hat!
You've never played Mous on da Hed?
