Daily Drop: Ted the Cat

[Legion]

KITTY!

Exactly what I was thinking.

It says a lot about us I am afraid.

 

[Dana22]

Ted is fat. He needs a diet and someone take him on a walks.

 

[Beryl77]

At normal speed it doesn't really look special but in slow motion, it looks amazing. Definitely one of my favorite drops.
When the cat landed on the ground, I was already jokingly thinking, that this was a failure and that they have to use the crowbar now but when I heard the music, I was like WTF?!

 

[Gardenclaw]

What would everyones reaction have been if the kitty had just burst into pieces when it hit the floor?

 

[Sixcess]

I was joking in earlier threads, but DAMN are there a lot of cat people on this site!

Well, this is the internet and...

Cool episode. The shock absorbing front paws were pretty amazing.

Now if someone edits the vid to stop immediatly after "Crowbar Is Ready" and sends it to Fox News that would start a good moral panic.

Just tell 'em Half Life made you do it.

 

[Draconalis]

Awww... Cats are built for this kind of thing. You should have dropped him from higher, as well as forced him to land on his feet.

For everyone asking for a more 'spectacular' cat drop... sorry no. We wanted to make sure that Ted would not be harmed in any way during the drop.

Pish posh, and Tally wag! Also... other archaic statements I don't actually understand!

 

[Vanbael]

Dear god Alex, you did. Except I was expecting the crowbar to be switched out for a string of feathers. But damn, very damn good drop.

 

[tehweave]

Three things:

One, I forsee this as becoming the most popular daily drop ever.

Two, I lost it when the 'crowbar' came up. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Three, "No animals were harmed in the making of this video." Yeah, no shit. Kathleen would murder all y'all if ya did.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Can someone tell me what kind of cat Ted is? I want a cat like that

 

[Nimcha]

Wow, those legs are bendy!

 

[Russian_Assassin]

What a cute kitty

I have dropped my cat from a greater distance and it never breaks. They have some sort of an anti-breaking mechanism built-in...

 

[Sporky111]

Haha, best drop yet. As soon as I saw "Cat" as today's drop, I knew it was going to be great.

And the "Crowbar Ready" gag was perfect.

 

[Grahav]

Not posted, Kathleen countering the crowbar.

What is the song in the end of the video?

 

[WaderiAAA]

Ha, ha, epicness!

I'm a bit disappointed though. I was hoping Alex would pretend to wack him with a crowbar and we'd see his lightning fast reflexes as he jumped out of the way.

 

[shadowmagus]

Bendy cat is bendy. I mean, I knew cats had some shock absorption in their legs, but it was almost freaky there.

 

[Don Reba]

"Hm... wouldn't it be funny if they did the 'Crowbar Ready' sequ...

... HOLY COW THEY'RE DOING IT!"

I laughed.... Hard.

Exactly! Man, well-played!

 

[itf cho]

That was probably the best drop ever.

CROWBAR!

You could have just done a gentle crowbar tap or something.

And risk the wrath of Kathleen? She'd murdalize 'em, if they so much as disturbed a hair with that crowbar.

 

[WorldCritic]

Yeah, Alex had me going there. Awesome video. KITTY!

 

[Wharrgarble]

What a beautiful kitty! :3

I laughed pretty hard at the crowbar bit. That whole thing was really cool, amazing how agile cats really are.

 

[Hitchmeister]

That was probably the best drop ever.

CROWBAR!

You could have just done a gentle crowbar tap or something.

And risk the wrath of Kathleen? She'd murdalize 'em, if they so much as disturbed a hair with that crowbar.

I heard (I think) Kathleen laugh in the background after the first drop. I knew the crowbar was a bluff. I don't even want to think about what the next drop would have been if it wasn't.
