We KNOW cats like boxes, but this is ridiculous...

Boxes? Yes, most cats like boxes so much they have to go to Boxhab. But BoxING?

Cue "Eye of the Tiger"

Krista T., you are rumbling in the jungling.

Cute, but I think is fake. Kitty is batting at something dangling above TV that we can't see.

I had a cat who loved watching car races on the TV. She always looked like she was trying to catch the cars coming out of the side of the TV.

It's hard for me to
find the words
that show the way
I feel.

And it's hard to know
if the vid is fake or if its real.

But I still love
kitteh batting paws above
Yes I still love
kitteh batting paws above
the tv set!

I'd like to make this
solemn vow
after all I've seen
Kitteh looks like a pro
boxing with the screen.

And I still love
kitteh batting paws above
Yes I still love
kitteh batting paws above
the tv set!

Love Love Love
(with apologies to Book of Love)

Oh, but it's so much better if you suspend your disbelief.

It's like a children's book! "The cat who wanted to box!"

I used to dog-sit for a dog who would run out from under the couch and bark his head off when a dog came onto the TV screen. Weirdest thing--he had no problem with people or noises, but anything dog-like made him crazy. According to him, elephants, horses, and orcs all counted as dogs too.

Just imagine if mixed martial arts came on the tube...

I think this is real, because the kitteh is not looking up. The kitteh is looking straight ahead, in the direction of the TV set. If the kitteh were looking up, as in having its head at an angle above the TV set, I would be more inclined to question whether this vid is a fake.

LOL meant to add at the end of my "song" that I don't care if the vid is faked or real, iz adorabuhls.

Hmmm, looks like some special effects are in place here :-)

On a different note, I have a cat who loves to sit in a child-sized rocking chair in front of the TV to watch any sort of show dog competition, like the Westminster Kennel Club ones.

It's so hilarious cuz she's obvy evaluating the dogs.

We need some serious "Rocky" music here, people. I love when one of my cats does this; usually when it's a wildlife show, and he wants to get at the flying birds, or stampeding wildlife in the worst way! I just sit back and laugh.

 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 12:10 PM

Oh, but of course that's real! I've seen lots of kittehs sitting up in attack mode! My parents' Siamese kitten used to rear up like a polar bear! What surprises me is that the kitteh is interested in a human fight.

Naw dude it could actually happen! My cat was SO obsessed with the Garfield movie he actually started pawing at the screen. Naturally, he's a big fat orange kitty cat too. <3

THIS is the reason that neither Lola the cat nor Kermit the eclectus are allowed to be in the room when I am playing World of Warcraft.

Yes, my name is really Cricket
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 12:19 PM

Hahaha! Love it. I wasn't sure if he's really looking at the TV, but it's still good!

I'm a believer. Remember, one of my cats is a ballerina.

I believe it. My cat is obsessed with Alton Brown. It's not just Good Eats because she also watches Iron Chef America. No one else interests her. And I know the reason is that I work at the Food Network and she's proud of me!

faycat
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 12:41 PM

I liked it too, but I'm just sayin.

MEG
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 12:42 PM

faycat, your cat would love my house (though I'm sure she loves yours more!) since anything Alton Brown/Good Eats/Iron Chef America are always being recorded through the DVR.

Skeptic me thinks cat paws a string. But cute, nevertheless.

nycat
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 12:54 PM

I bet this is a case of a kitty who bats at things moving in the screen, which looks like boxing, so the parents put boxing on the tube and filmed it... cuz it's funny...

He doesn't keep his guard up very well . . .

My Siamese, Marcie Cat, used to sit with me when I watched TV. Once she flipped over back wards when the Star Wars crawl ends and the Star War's logo comes flying forward and the music crescendos.
I laughed so hard that even now, 20 years later, I can still remember the embarrassed look on her face when she realized it wasn't real and I was laughing at her.
Thats a good memory, Marie and Star Wars, two of my favorite things ever.

I had a cat named Alvin who loved to watch baseball. She (yes alvin was a she) would sit on the TV and hang over to watch.

she always tried to grab the guy going to around second.

I love how at the end the claws come out ju-u-u-u-st for a sec!

Needs "So You Wanna Be a Boxer" as soundtrack.

It's funny how cats get interested in one thing on TV when they'll ignore it the rest of the time. Our cat, Cipher, loves Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet.

Decca

I believe it! My cats love baseball, basketball, and nature shows with lizards. ;)

Aww, this guy has a great left hook!

My 19 year-old cat used to touch the screen whenever horses were on TV. I say 'used to' 'cause he is a bit hard-of-hearing these days, so no more paw prints on the tv :-(

But I have a 4 year-old cat that is fascinated with the flat-screen. I gotta get a video camera...

DaytimeDeb
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 04:51 PM

This is hilarious - I love the left hook and head movement.

If he doesn't kill you with his cuteness, he'll knock you out with a series of left-right combinations.

It's shopped.

You can tell by the pixels.

Mem
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 06:32 PM

DaytimeDeb...you have a 19-year-old kitty? SQUEEEE!!!! >^.^<

My Lucy passed on a couple years ago at that age...I'm not trying to skeer you, she was always kinda scrawny and lived thru tummy cancer and cobalt treatment for a hyper thyroid, but she had SUCH a personality aboot her! I'm just glad to hear there's still one out there, who even if he is hard'o'hearing, he's still around, LOL! So be sure to give your old boy tummy rub for me, k?

Oh, and give one to the 4-year-old, too! KTHXBAI! :D

Juniper Jupiter

awesome catboxing. *grin*

And favcat: you work at food network? Tell Alton I love him.

I love him _lots_.

Kitty

that's funny

eikoleigh

That is a meeeeeean left hook.

Ok...so this just proves scientists' theory that violence on television can lead to violence in the real world! This time it just happens to be affecting cats instead of children!

Megan
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 10:48 PM

I float like a butterfly sting like a bee.

hon glad
 |  Jun 03, 2008 at 11:13 PM

Juniper Jupiter: Yep, he is 19 as of May. I laugh at the tummy rub comment because he is not too old to rip me to shreds if I try that!

Luckily I get my tummy fix from Hyde, the 4 year-old. He LOVES belly rubs -- especially when he's basking in the sun in the bay window, where the whole entire neighborhood can watch us. He has no shame, but I get a little embarassed.
