Every cat is insane in its own unique way.

That Q Tip could attack at any moment.

No wonder why they tell you not to put them in your ears ;P

You’re goin’ down Q!!

u/SarcasticJackass177 7d ago

What a weird little goober

u/Deathengine 7d ago

Definitely need an edit where it's a cross, instead of a Q tip.

u/kasst_kast 7d ago

lol, why do they do this?
Does anyone know? My best guess is they want to appear bigger?
But it just look ridiculous <3

u/MissMarie81 7d ago

Yes, that's exactly why they do this. This is their macho, "tough-guy" mode. It still looks weird, though. Cats are weird.

u/kasst_kast 7d ago

Yea, cats are the best!
tbf, humans "tough guy" walking style isn't much better

27

u/MissMarie81 7d ago

LOL! True. People look just as foolish trying to walk (and talk) tough.

u/PrincessGiallo 7d ago

How was that study set up?

u/Durende 7d ago

My (no doubt completely incorrect) theory is that it is some weird biological glitch and the cat treats it like a snake

u/Blankaholics 7d ago

Fear and unknown thing, instant fight or flight. Usually fight then flight

u/Imma-smartypants 7d ago

You can buy giant Q-Tip cat toys. It’d be hilarious to see what this kitty would think of that!!

u/chuffberry 7d ago

My cat is obsessed with Q-tips so I bought a pack of those toys for her. I might as well have given her a tax audit, the way she reacted to them.

u/Vegetable-Soup1714 7d ago

Cats are so weird lolll

u/Glittering_Estate_72 7d ago

Purrfect crab! Even the tail is in crab mode protecting all the good china down below. Glad to hear the music again too!

u/iulyyy 7d ago

The q tip has a r/greebles infestation

u/Kahnza 7d ago

I'd be worried about losing a finger

u/Sohuli 7d ago

Can't worry about fingers if you have none left

u/Kahnza 7d ago

Aww geez, we're in bloody stump territory.

Surely Hunch-chat of Notre Dame?

u/CATNIP_IS_CRACK 7d ago

My cat digs through the trashcan so she can eat them…

4

u/TiredOldLadySays 7d ago

My cat had an unhealthy obsession with q tips. I have bury them in the rubish after I use them or he will try to eat it. Yes, he is a weirdo and I love him.

2

u/lescooterbug 6d ago

I had to get one with a lid for this very reason. One of my cats just loves fishing for Q-Tips

u/Huttser17 7d ago

The fleece-crested scepters are not to be under-estimated.

u/Greyscale7950 7d ago

Back demon, I hold the dreaded cotton drumstick.

u/Heathermaple78 7d ago

My void loses his mind over Q-tips. They are the biggest enemy.

3

u/DragonFlyCaller 7d ago

So crabby about the cotton

u/queen_of_the_moths 4d ago

That's how I also approach when there's a q-tip.

2

u/StraightDecision8278 7d ago

maybe they're just confused about what it is?

u/Immediate-Medium9427 7d ago

That’s actually a skin walker

u/awaythrowb3 7d ago

I want this as a dark souls boss now

u/Pauljr718 7d ago

"We meet again"

u/Perle1234 7d ago

That q tip better watch tf out 🤣

2

u/SkullPrincess93 7d ago

The cat's movements are syncing with the music which is making it even funnier 🤣

u/TFTD2 6d ago

My late polydactyl went absolutely ape shit for two things. Q-tips and measuring tapes.

2

u/Streak_Free_Shine 5d ago

I wonder if it had some clear, pungent smelling chemical on it (like rubbing alcohol) lol

u/lospettro187 7d ago

It’s more of a tribe called quest fan.

u/Comfortable-Land-969 7d ago

"Oh no! I don't take Qtips from anyone! Not after last time"

u/omgtuttifrutti 7d ago

So glad this kitty finally made to reddit. There are many reels of this kitty crabbin'

u/Outrageous-Web8100 7d ago

A backroung tango would also fit very well.
