Cats that are mildly startled.

Some guidelines to follow

  1. Gifs, pics or vids of cats being mildly startled are welcome. They don't necessarily have to be funny, but most of the time they are.

  2. Reposts are fine, just don't repost anything recent. If it was previously posted less than one month ago, it will be removed.

  3. No animal/human cruelty

  4. Post removal may be at moderators' discretion

  5. Don't be mean to other users. Be kind!

  6. Please don't downvote comments that you don't agree with. If they add nothing to the conversation then downvote, but if comments/posts are really mean/offensive, just report them.

  7. And remember, have fun!

Caught her snuggling up to a ballerina flat like a freak!

This is my sister's cat, Fiona (Fifi) , but I caught her being her usual foot fiend self. This pic is from back in October, but rest assured she's still very much into piggies. 😂

First he got on top of the cabinets. Then he stared at the wall. I’m not sure what he heard or saw and I’m not sure I want to find out.

"What have I done..?"

The face of regret (she had never seen snow before; we very, very, very rarely get snow!).
