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.

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