A startled cat is dynamic and in motion. Gifs and videos should convey motion - leaping, jumping or otherwise showing that unique feline panic that makes us laugh, point and reach for our cameras. Videos and gifs, of course, do that best.

If you need to explain that a cat is startled, it is not startled.

Toomie scared the rest of my cats

I was trying to get Luigi, my shy boy to play and Toomie came in and ruined it.

scary mushroom

we gave my friend this scratching post because my cats don’t use it, and the little one is very suspicious of it.
