I like that the person clearly demonstrates how harmless the knife is and the cat is obviously in play and not distress mode, and yet several folks still feel the need to act like complaining Karens from Facebook that know better than everyone else
As a cat person, to the non-cat people: That's also the maul your hand activation sound. And I guarantee the video was purposefully cut before he whipped around and snagged them.
Christ almighty, some people are butthurt. I'm not saying this is BAD/abusive/hurtful for the cat, but that vocalization and posture is very "I'm not happy right now." I've owned cats for over 40 years. You learn things like this very quickly.
A little bit of a fucking with your cat isn't going to do it any harm mine fucks with me more than I fuck with him. You know typical cat shit night time assassination waiting for you to be at your most vulnerable cat shit that kind of stuff. But I love my bubba and wouldn't trade it for anything though that won't stop me from picking on him too. And before you get any kind of upset my cat is very well loved and adjusted.
I've seen cats showing more distress from getting kisses or a hug. Calling this animal abuse kind of takes the seriousness away from actual, legitimate animal abuse claims..

Cause nobody asked, Miette is french for crumb/breadcrumb.
mustardburp
it's also colloquially used as a term of endearment for a "small sweet thing" usually for girls.

Hmmm I heard “WTF asshole”

It's the same line.

I heard a cat in distress. Not remotely funny.
fibbertitgibbet
It is a practical joke. My cat is every day when I go to the kitchen and don't give it food (outside of meal times). Cat is unharmed. Don't worry.
Housemaster
It's pretty funny, and your comment made it even more funny!
Fyreworx
it might still take enough force on the spring to feel uncomfortable for the cat.

ok then don't do that

And a few uncomfortable seconds is completely harmless.

stupiddevotchka
Yeah, this cat looks scared and uncomfortable too. This video is horrible. Do not do this to animals.
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
It looks like it’s in play mode and confused. Cats are always confused, and play time is good!
Nathanfake
Can we do it to you? 🙃
usernamethatsstillavailable
We can just hope it recovers from the horrible trauma of... feeling some slight pressure on it's butt?
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
But what if it escalates to a mild pressure?

Intentionally distressing a living creature for entertainment isn't a good thing, regardless of how physically safe the action may be...

Dunno. Your distress is pretty amusing

Shitty way to treat a cat. Don't post videos of animal abuse and pretend it's funny. Cat is clearly upset.
Thorketil
Oh come on, don't exaggerate so much

not animal abuse
Cremosso
Relax holy shit
BrainrotWasTaken
Dude, that cat is playful, check the derp body language. I don't think you've been close to proper abuse.
BrainrotWasTaken
Also: stealth bomber ears are not always distress. Sometimes it's just part of play, esp. rough play. Cats are nuanced, you know, much like us :)

WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
If kisses and hugs are distressing the cat, don’t do that either.
Nsturge
The cat literally needed to take a moment to figure out if he should react.

Imgur is full of people who believe animal abuse is anything short of serving your pet 5 star cuisine atop a throne of the finest silk.

*Carefully portioned 5 star cuisine, because overfeeding is the worst brutality /s

Just silk? What, no gold thread?!?
