[@FusRoDah2]

It took my cat 15 years to fully trust me, partly due to the fact that I was 4 years old when we got her and I was not very good with cats. After that is was quite obvious I was her favorite all the way until she died.

[@MysteriousAsteria]

People base that prejudice on their own experiences with mostly strange cats they don't own. Cats have very distinctive and different personalities and most cats are a bit shy towards strangers or they simple come close to them after you offered them a treat, hence they appear cold and egoistical. Of course there are exceptions, like the cat of my cousin used to be; he was very cuddly, friendly and devoted to everyone, even complete strangers. People however automatically assumed that this was not normal cat behavior and called him dog-like. I think people can really understand that cats love their owners just as much as dogs after they have owned a nice, friendly cat themselves. My own little fluffball is certainly very clingey to me and loves me infinitely- I was once on a trip for a week and that poor baby was so sad about my absence that he barely ate his food and always slept on my bed, eagerly waiting for my return. Of course that makes it hard now for me to leave the hose for a longer period, but then I knew from the beginning that owning a cat takes as much responsibility as owning any other animal. Also I don't get the cat vs. dog mentality. I own a cat, love cats, but I also adore dogs. I def. prefer the former, but dogs are nice too. They're just a bit different :)

+MIS315 the BBC natural history unit consistently makes the best nature programmes available. In UK, we have hundreds of one-man-band film-makers who have the patience and skill to get the 'killer shot' which reveals what is actually happening, often months of painstaking work, and then they sell their work to the BBC, or are hired by the job to get that shot. They do really great protography and film, just like this. The American networks can't touch it, and if an American filmmaker really wants to reveal and study animal behaviour seriously rather than just scare people with how sharp their claws or teeth are, he offers his efforts to the BBC.

wow cats are so beautiful

FinesseManMarco Sus?

[@EarlHare]

wow, cats get 70 fps on ultra graphics. must have a sick rig in their heads.

[@pc_screen5478]

@@miso-ge1gz it's about the reaction time not the actual fps your eyes can see. Humans can only react to changes after 100ms, which is the time between the eye capturing the image and then your brain receiving and analysing it

[@Effect-Without-Cause]

@@miso-ge1gz In case you're not joking; humans can actually see upto about 200hz, anything above that has exponential diminishing returns. Almost no one can tell the difference between 300 and 1000hz. Difference between 144 and 200hz is barely noticeable. Everyone can see difference between 60 and 100hz. Blind people see the difference between 30 and 60hz (a joke) All of this applies to gaming tests, where you control the perspectives.

[@omeee]

humans can see up to 400 fps.

[@unimprezzedmclastname4220]

Most VR headsets (or at least the ones that aren't crap) have a refresh rate around 90 hz, and even then disorientation is a problem. This means that human eyes have a higher refresh rate than that.

[@ENiceGeo]

Just wait till you hear about their audio equipment.

(3:18) Man = "The mouse doesn't have a chance." Mouse = "Have you even watched Tom & Jerry, bro?"

[@anthonyalvear6599]

The most beautiful and amazing animals in the nature.....

[@Arundodonax]

Wow, watch that cat's pupils at 1:06.

[@D-Terminat0r]

Say *no* to cocaine !!!

[@joebailey8845]

Yeah.....they went full on Mr Pickles.

[@androidwharf3116]

They're taking in as much light as possible

[@asyerria]

Not sure but i can change my pupil to 70% during light conditions which should not happen

[@Cheese_1337]

Autofocus.

[@807800]

so kids, don't cut their whiskers again!

[@krashd]

+Lucurous I'm glad to know this is a thing and not just something horrible that I did when I was young, I trimmed our cat's whiskers when I was about 13 and my mum was livid because of it and taught me that they need them to navigate small spaces. I just thought our old moggy's nose was starting to look like an old man's eyebrows and thought the cat would look nicer :/ I haven't done it since.

[@hatfinch]

+Rob Fraser I did it too, no malice aforethought. You grow up seeing people pluck or trim unsightly hair and it's only natural you would extend that to cats!

[@geirtwo]

When I was a kid I cut the whiskers and ate them 😅

[@wafflezcat9005]

my brother tried doing that once

[@hatfinch]

Maybe just keep them under paralysis, living on a drip feed? ;)

[@armandooktaviano]

Too much cuteness i cant hold it when i see cat,even when the video slowmo look at his innocence

[@andrewbelinsky]

So this guy researches cats and still found time to invent the Dyson vacuums? Kudos. Nice.

[@MIS315]

He's the same dude?

[@andrewbelinsky]

+MIS315 Nah, but they sure look alike, right?

[@oneaburns]

Hahaha, I was thinking the same.

[@dusterdude238]

+Andy Belinsky the invention of the Dyson must have come about because of the great torrents of cat hair in his flat LOL

[@XgamerdaveX]

He looks nothing like James Dyson.

[@0prahTV]

All hail our feline overlords.

[@communistcat3240]

yusss human slave your a smart one

[@lilmisscoopie]

Smarter than you :p *you're

[@ryuoryuo]

They're *purrfect*

[@codq1329]

All of the cats in this video are gorgeous! Like every one of them I was like, wow! What a beautiful looking cat. And fascinating to learn about too.

[@thehatman3089]

So amazing. How each living being has been designed perfectly. How did the design get there? Who ever put it there deserves our credit. Can't be none because its beyond our understanding therefore means there has to be a purpose.

[@dankh9483]

Please add why do cats shake their hips before they go for the attack

[@kellylyons1038]

Good idea. I think its to help calculate trajectory and to get balanced

[@rsrt6910]

I don't know, but I suspect it's the same reason my girlfriend does.

[@indoorgrass2537]

@kelly Lyons no tf😂

[@OSTemli]

Native americans and many anxient people used to do dance before war or hunting, thata cat ritual

[@Goku-ih6gl]

Fox In Bush Its called twerking

[@mikerowave1986]

Cats are amazing, just like some perfectly engineered system such as stealth fighter jets: Stealthy, quick, agile, well armed, and full of state of the art sensors

[@metalfan9000]

Like a cuddly F-22 then?

[@abdulmalik053]

Also comes in different colors...

[@ivyme5783]

And has poor colour vision

[@mirasam3370]

@@ivyme5783 i think the reason they have poor colour vision is because god gave them 24/7 night vision. only green and black, and maybe thats the reason they always sleep at the morning and become active at night. lol

Also, a bitch

1:30 Woah settle down with those lens flares J.J. Abrams.

[@watchgoose]

whoa

[@fiercedeity6437]

No, no. You're thinking of Michael Bay.

@@fiercedeity6437 Michael Bay is the explosion guy. JJ Abrams the lens flare dude, so he / she got it right :D

Cat have their whiskers above their eyes and ankle Me: Meow meow meow kitty kitty kitty come here Imma check your ankle whisker

It is heretical if you didn’t know that!! :o

@@GGrev So what are you waiting for? Bring brushwood!

[@ViktorVZ-ro]

I didn't knew that either and had the same reaction as you lol !

[@RachaelWard]

That was so great, thank you! I love learning something new about my cats.... Now I'm off to do some whiskers watching! 😁

[@snafuart]

Amazing, beautiful creatures

[@quangnguyentrung647]

Did anyone hug their cats, or watch this with their cats nearby? Because I do

[@leodf1]

I thought you EAT cats.

[@SherYTF]

Quang Nguyen Trung me everytime I watch cat videos

[@fulcrum2951]

I bet my cat is watching this right now

[@MemesnShet]

Ever since i saw how a girl streamer got her eye cut by her cat i dont put my face near any cat,ever

[@anbiyapopal1458]

my cat is right next to me, sleeping

[@balance5216]

The only reason why cats don't try and eat us is because we're bigger than them

[@JB-kg3js]

Eclipsen Gaming lol I beg to differ. My cat keeps trying to eat my brother, who's so much bigger than me. Meanwhile he thinks twice before messing with me.

[@ThePaperCreater]

Doesn't that basically apply to every single carnivore and most omnivores? Basic common sense.

[@balance5216]

Platonic Love um.. No. A proper domesticated dog will never try to eat the master, regardless of size

[@ThePaperCreater]

Eclipsen Gaming And where is your evidence for this? Are you saying a cat would eat a baby?

[@007RAJKOify]

Cat is humans best friend idiot. My dog always asks for food and my cat didnt even I what I gave him, he always had leftovers, he was a honest and modest animal and a loyal friend.Go get a cat and then comment.You can say that my dog isnbt dressed but I havent dressed my cat either and he never needed to be dressed or washed or taken out he only wanted my atention and I gave that....I only hope it was enough to pay him for all the joy he gave me. He was a true friend.

[@mazandaal]

Lovely amazing creatures 🐈

[@seven6362]

Even a goddamn cat is smarter than me

[@Harmlessgamers2893]

Wow.. i actually learned something from this cat video, i did not expect that to happen as i had cats for well over 20 years.. whiskers on ankles? Crazy..

[@p_eabean]

Never noticed that either lol!

That’s awesome. Such beautiful animals.

[@jacobalander96]

I have a test to study for but no cat whisker facts are way more important i mean duh, right?

[@Natalie-fw4ru]

true

[@hibasobh]

How come they never teach this in schools? It's far more interesting.

[@HollowDesert]

Hiba Sobh It's not important though. I mean neither is 80% of what they teach but this is less important.

[@mel4776]

Because why would we need to know this lol

[@kfcgravy5041]

Hiba Sobh when are u ever gonna need this information?

[@thatoneguy5205]

Because apearantly learning mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell is more important than learning about a creature alot of people interact with everyday

[@thatoneguy5205]

OnceUponATimeNotLongAgo IWasAHoe ah yes, because everyone needs to know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Half the stuff we get taught is useless, but the things we need, like knowing how to do taxes, arent taught.

[@amaristapia5011]

Amazing. My favorite video of 2022😻🐱

[@AkiAmeko]

Wrists + Whiskers = Wristkers

[@godschild9633]

so these fellas are using their whiskers as 'spectacles' to see object before their face!!!
