Cats, just as much as the rest of us, can get caught off guard. The most unexpected surprise? A sneeze so loud it knocks you off your feet! The short clip below showcases an amusing example of that — a cat pondering a swimming pool goes flying after getting startled. This would be proof that cat reflexes are honed and always alert to danger, but the setting was less than desirable! Don’t blink (or sneeze)!

Our feline friends are usually curious by nature and are notorious for sharing some of the most amusing antics. Plenty of cats are also a bit jumpy, but that’s actually an important part of their natural behavior. You see, this is likely the result of always being situationally aware for they can readily escape from predators (more on that below!). However, in the life of a pet kitty, this kind of strategy ends up causing unexpected, often hilarious outcomes!

Make sure to hold in those sneezes, and let’s further explore what makes our kitty companions so entertaining.

What’s Up with Cat Shenanigans?

So, cats capture the imagination and sense of humor often, but what’s really behind the way they act? As a species, felines have been required to adapt instincts as both predators and prey. While big cats like lions don’t share this necessity, plenty of smaller felines have hung in this evolutionary balance forever. Sudden sounds or movements could either mean it’s lunchtime, or they’re about to become lunch!

Although this flow has been critical in surviving in the wild through the centuries, it’s still present in today’s domestic cats. Their very keen senses continue to contribute to their high intelligence and innate agility, much to the delight of many. Just remember that the next time you see a kitty doing something bizarre, they’re built that way!

Are Cats the Perfect Pet?

Perfect or purr-fect? Seriously though, cats enjoy wild popularity worldwide, and for obvious reasons. They’re beautiful, loving animals and normally have notably independent personalities. Basically, they can often take care of themselves for the majority of the day when compared to other household critters. Although provably quirky, they also provide strong companionship and endless laughs.
