I originally wanted to write a short comic to tide you guys over until I finished the really long comic I'm working on (hopefully I'll post it on Monday), but then I got totally carried away and ended up making an overly dramatic animated film about a childhood experience with my mom's friend's cat.
Pretty sure this was my childhood and the reason therapists can afford to drive BMWs to therapist conventions.
ReplyDeleteMy love for you grows and grows.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteAh-maze-ing. Thank you for making my evening perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, this post is awesome. It's message is true: cats can hurt! This video will help raise awareness.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is the most fantastic thing! I love how you don't even need dialog for it, it is just so clear what is happening from the facial expressions!
ReplyDeleteThis hits a little TOO close to home.
ReplyDeleteMy cat approves of this message.
ReplyDeleteJust woke up. Can't stop laughing. BEST AFTERNOON EVER.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I had many similar episodes growing up consisting of trying to love my cat far past her tolerance for me.
ReplyDeleteI love you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally stalked your Youtube. The rock video made me think about the time in 6th grade a "friend" threw a rock at me and it hit me in the left eye, then the next year when we had vision tests, I failed for the first time and had to go to the eye doctor and they told me I had astigmatism in my left eye.
I should go to bed.
pure quality
ReplyDeleteThat was obviously not a child proof cat. We had a cat when I was a kid and it let us drag it around by its tail and tie it to trees for interrogation and all sorts of fun things.
ReplyDeleteWhen my parents wanted us to leave a cat be, they just told us it was sleeeeping. We believed them.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy so many terrible things happened to you. They make good stories.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little bad for laughing at your childhood trauma, but if it's any consolation, I had a similar experience with a dog once. lol.
ReplyDeletedude, that was freakin awesome! i have 2 gray cats who will also wound small children when necessary.
ReplyDeleteand btw, my 8 yr old wants to be you when she grows up. she writes her own blog & always wishes she could be as funny & famous as you.
That new movie Werewolf totally ripped you off, Dude.
ReplyDeleteYeah...I thought it was a good idea to pick up my cat when he was hissing at a puppy. I only wanted to throw him inside and got four slashes on my arm instead. I love your blog, it makes my day (and classes) less boring.
ReplyDeleteOMG, seeing your drawings in motion was hilarious. Also, please post more! I remember when you posted like 3 times a week. I don't even care if they have pictures or not just write something crazy and it will make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteMoar mooveez, plz.
ReplyDeleteHaha, not even sharp paws.
ReplyDeleteSharp PARTS!!
Oh my god, the cat attached to your face is exactly what happened with one of our cats when I was growing up. Except you should replace where I said "your face" with "my face."
ReplyDeleteI've just had flashbacks.
The background music totally sounds like "COME HERE KITTY, KITTY COME, COME HERE KITTY, KITTY COME... *more ominous sounds*"
ReplyDeleteYay! A new post!
ReplyDeleteO_O
And so awesome...Alliemation! Yay!
Need a shirt that says "Cats have sharp parts". Please. Thank you.
The last time I held a cat, it pooped on me. I'm not sure which scenario is worse. At least when it's blood on you, you know it's yours. Then again, you FREAKING know it's your blood. Which totally sucks. Solution: Pick a guinea pig. (Preferably a hypothetical one, a.k.a. a person. Since every cat I know would attack a real guinea pig on sight. So that would be entirely unproductive) Get said guinea pig to go pick up cat. If all is well, ask for cat. If all is not well, laugh and point.
ReplyDelete-Megan
This.
ReplyDeleteDo more of it.
That was awesome! Now can you make a video of the gianormous red dog that chased (the then 4 year old) me home and proceeded to try and gobble me up through the storm door and front door that I had protectively tried to lodge myself between? I'm fairly certain I pissed my pants out of sheer and utter terror so feel free to add that bit as well. - The Empress
ReplyDeletehttp://rantersbox.blogspot.com
Haha...love it, because it is sadly so true.
ReplyDeleteOne moment, they cuddle with you, rubbing you with their furry little chin, the next, they claw on to you for dear life as they *think* they're going to fall from your lap, then to repay you for propping them back where they belonged, they attack your finger...
1000% WIN!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, you totally made my crappy day/week all better with this! So much love! And band-aids.
Oh yeah. They have LOTS of SHARP PARTS.
ReplyDeletethank you for letting me know that i am not alone in the world. nothing but love for you right now. nothing but wary skepticism about cats ever since that day when i was 7...
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Exactly why I don't have a cat.
ReplyDeleteHey, I had a similar experience with my grandparents' cat when I was 8!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!! NEW POST!!!
ReplyDeleteYour video sums up what happened to me in 4th grade on school picture day.
You're amazing
Clearly someone needs to get you a TV show. I don't care what format. I'm watching it.
ReplyDeleteLol!!! Oh man reminds me of my Aunt's evil cat and my knee caps.. boy do I have scars.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteomg...this almost happened to me except instead of a cat it was a dog and instead of claws it was her teeth and instead of my head it was my lip. bad news.
We had just gotten a toy poodle puppy (dumbest dog ever btw) and my brother and sister and I would fight over who got to hold her. She got so agitated at one point that she yelped and snapped her teeth and my lip just happened to be in the way.
A bloody face, ruined shirt, and 7 stitches later I got grounded for the dog biting me....
This made me laugh my ass off. And I'm with Meg - I DEFINITELY heard "Come here kitty, kitty come" in that music. Ominous indeed.
ReplyDeleteF'epic.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Fortunately both Shadow and FatBoy are docile creatures, otherwise we'd be eaten alive...(the Tweeb is really too broken to handle)....
ReplyDeleteMy 7 year old son loved this and so did I..
ReplyDeleteMy 7 year old son loved this and so did I..
ReplyDeleteGuau! Yes. I used to teach pet safety to little kids, and your kitty portrayed at least 4 out 5 "back the eff off" body language examples. Actually more like 6 out of 5.
ReplyDeleteYou are an Internet Superstar.
I hate Google. I have been battling with Google Analytics. I want to nuke Google. I so hate them. And in 90 seconds you made my mad go away. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I wuv you Allie. Totally agree about cats. Nuke them.
ReplyDeletehttp://nodavebarry.blogspot.com/
FINALLY!! I thought it was hilarious! My cat will attack if you try and even pet her
ReplyDeleteYou.. just described my entire childhood. No matter how many times kitties have shown me their sharp parts, I couldn't resist going to hug and pet them. Cat scratches were almost perpetual on me.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteFrom someone whose name is also Allie.
This reminds me of so many things that happened to other people.
ReplyDeleteAnd me. A few times. Here and there.
This video makes it official: you just won the internet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I pretty much had the exact same experience, except mine ended with my arm looking like it was made of blood.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 2 weeks of needles to prevent Catscratch fever and rabies.
That's pretty much how I imagined catching November (emaciated kitten my friend found, and I'm now taking care of) would be. No, she was sweet and curious and awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy right now.
ReplyDeleteHook socks (If you haven't already, watch everything Brad Neely ever did).
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what it looks like when my 4-year-old nephew tries to play with my extremely pissy spoiled cat.
ReplyDeleteI also heard "COME HERE KITTY, KITTY COME" but I'm assuming you did that on purpose.
That looks disturbingly like my cat.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you have dogs :-p
I loved it.
ReplyDeleteOMG, it's Animated Allie! I totally just LAGLEUAL! Okay, I don't know all those stupid, er, cool acronyms, but that was the sh*t.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletejust "yes"
Ahhhhhhhhhahahasdksadsakdfjaskdhf;askld. That last part happened because I was laughing so hard I was snorting and then drooling and then biting my tongue, which messed up my delicate and sweet lady-like laugh. I like the video twist. Sho do. Also, this post reminded me about how my best friend got sent to the principal's office in 1st grade for drawing a big picture of a cat's arsehole. Not that you drew pictures of that fleshly sphincter 'neath the cat's tail...but I'm sure you have in other posts, you poor, demented creature...that I will be for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteGUY DRESSED AS A BEER CAN: HEY!! Who are you supposed to be? (I'll have blonde pigtails and will be wearing a pink dress, of
course)
ME: Allie Brosh!!!! You know! She writes Hyperbole & a Half!!!
(meanwhile I'll be mauling people with the bear claws I have hidden behind my back every time I reach for a refill or a handful of popcorn)
BEER CAN MAN: Uhhh...what does hyperbowlie mean? Can you dip chips in it?
Me as Allie: NO, you FREAK!! (That's when I will stop saying anymore words and will simply begin squirting everyone with the fake blood I brought with me)
I can't WAIT for Halloween!!!
Reminds me of the time I was helping someone clean out a cat's ears b/c he had severe ear mites. The cat was not happy and proceeded to use my shoulder and back to escape D:
ReplyDeleteWow. This is beyond amazing.
ReplyDeleteAfter years of begging my mom for a cat, when our neighbor's cat had a litter, she finally gave in. I went to pick one out and this exact situation happened.
Despite the blood, and the hole in my throat the kitten pierced, I still took it home. Hoping someday it'd love me. Haha.
Hilarious! It's funny because it's TRUE!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI cannot give thee any higher praise than that. (And yes, I typed it all out by hand, you deserve nothing less.)
That was fantastically epic.
ReplyDeleteIn defence of the cat you did stalk the poor thing....It's just a shame the cat can't tell its side of the story....
ReplyDeletecats: beware when prickly side up.
ReplyDeleteI just had a dream recently about a cat that did the same thing on your vid on me T_T creepy!

AHAHAHA this had 69 comments but now it won't!
ReplyDeleteI hate cats.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't help that I am allergic to them.
One time at a friend's house I got some cat germ in my eye and it swelled up and made me look like a diseased druggie rapist.
Cats should be banned. I mean seriously, who goes around saying, "oh wow I miss (insert owner or other significant person in your life's name here) so much. I think I'll piss on their bed and/or clothes. That will show them how much I truly adore them and they will never leave me again, EVARRRR!!!"
Answer: No one but those clawed fiends people WILLINGLY (why would anyone ever intentionally do that?!?!?) bring into their homes around themselves and innocent defenseless children. Cats are more of a danger to humankind than serial killers, shoelaces getting caught in escalators, and AIDS.
But that's just my opinion.
OMG, I laughed until I cried. Your blog is the best therapy.
ReplyDeleteIf I may ask, what is the song you used in this video?
HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!! I was howling with laughter. Love your site
ReplyDeleteCats have sharp parts? Holy shit I never knew that.
ReplyDeleteOH GOD THIS IS TOTALLY ME without the bleeding part though but seriously. if i go to someone's house and they have a cat my puils dialate and i turn into OMG COME HERE KITTEH I LOVE YOU and no-one sees me for an hour.
ReplyDeleteYAAAY! I was just about to go to bed and was checking for the umpteenth time to see if you'd posted something new (because I am spoiled by your constant awesomeness) and you HAD!!! It was like you read my mind! Which is good, because otherwise I probably would've broken down and whined. And nobody wants to see that.
ReplyDeleteAs someone else said, the music totally does sound like, "COME HERE KITTY, KITTY COME!!!" Which is hysterical.
Also, I think my brother wrote you a note on your fish post about how he laughed so hard he got a headache. But he says it was soooo worth it. And I'd like to thank you for making my brother (and me) laugh, because he has this annoying, oppressive job that pisses him off all the time and he needs stuff like this. If it weren't 1 am, I'd call him right now and tell him to watch this.
In short, you are awesome, and more people should be you.
This was just the best thing ever! Tears still coming from my eyes! CAN'T... STOP... LAUGHTER!!!
ReplyDelete...somebody should probably call a doctor...
AWESOME!!!!
ReplyDeleteWHY IS IT THAT YOU POST THIS RIGHT AS I ANNOUNCE A YOUTUBE FAST? WHYYYYYYYYYY??????
ReplyDelete*falls to ground and rips hair out*
Though i thought the whole thing was pretty hilarious, i peed myself laughing at "THE. END"
ReplyDeleteGENUIS
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteI've never been severely injured by a cat - although my cat did drag her claws through my shoulder the day before I was due to go sunbathing for a week - but I have a horrible reaction to flea bites. It's odd that you should make a dramatic video about a cat attack, because I was going to do one about a flea infestation.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm not sure whether to do it or not. On the one hand, now I know they can be done and can be awesome; on the other hand, mine won't be as awesome as yours.
Either way, I enjoyed it immensely! Hope to see moe videos from you!
On a side-note, was the music you used Immediate Music/Globus? It sounded a lot like them, but it was a track I'd never heard before.

Oh my god, I cannot believe I was stupid enough to eat while watching this. Your video made me shoot yogurt & grape nuts out of my nose.
ReplyDeleteIt was messy and uncomfortable. Now my nose smells like yogurt. It's all your fault.
0:41. Tshirt that shit. hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and will always follow it..
ReplyDeletexoxoxox
That was great!!! the cat P.O.V cracked me up. It reminded me so much of growing up with my cat, the poor thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Cameron.
I would so watch a TV show just of your drawings, animated just like that.
ReplyDelete(And the cat looked like mine - you didn't happen to live in Australia at some point, did you??)
I'm so sad I didn't find your blog until recently.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AMAZING.
Brilliant!
ReplyDeletePMSL! Your drawings are always the best! Looks like kitty was in for a bath lol...
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome x
OMG! I simultaneously pulled a muscle and almost wet my pants. Of course, I'm almost 7 months pregnant with baby #3 so this happens a lot, but at least this time it was for a good reason.
ReplyDeleteI am showing this to my daughter who at 5 still hasn't completely figured out why the cats don't like her.
Haha excellent. This video has made my day.
ReplyDeleteCats are just psychotic in general. My cat was de-clawed (not by any choice of ours, we got him from a neighbor who was moving and couldn't take him with) so he had to improvise. His two methods of attack were beating you with his paws rapidly, or hooking a claw around your leg while you walked and pulling back in a clear effort to end our lives. I almost lost a tooth to that cat...
ReplyDelete*dies* That is exactly why I refuse to let small children, and some adults near my cat.
ReplyDeleteI just blew a corn flake across my keyboard. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteAllie - without a doubt - you are a genius. Pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is what we call kinesthetic learning. Also, I wish I had not let my cat watch that video. I will walk around in fear for the next few days now.
ReplyDeleteThis made my day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOmg, that is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf you could put the last drawing of the cat w/ "don't pet when angry" i would totally buy it.
I laughed so hard my tummy hurts. awesome!!!
That was wonderful! I love your blog!
ReplyDeletebest. video. ever. that was hysterical and also true. if you value your blood and prefer your skin intact, never, never, never, EVER follow a cat to it's hiding space (ie, under the bed). it will come out all claws and try to kill you. no matter how loving and gentle and cuddly and purry it is the other 23 hours, 42 minutes of the day, it will try to kill you.
ReplyDeletebrava, allie.
and my most recent blog was also cat-related:
http://justanotherwastedday.blogspot.com/
So...are you a cat person now? :)
ReplyDeleteLove the video format! Adds another not-needed-(cuz-your-drawings-are-hilarious-in-of-themselves)-but-occasionally-nice-to-have dimension to the drawings. More, please.
supersalwa.blogspot.com
This is hilarious! I love it.
ReplyDeleteyikes! that is one bad experience. i can see why you're a dog owner. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved this. As you show, the cat is not the villain here. You were. Even if you were also the one permanently scarred and traumatized.
ReplyDeleteHahah. I love how dramatic it is.
ReplyDeleteAhaha! Every post could be its own new t-shirt. You are amazing. ASCII t-shirt "art":

ReplyDeleteoh the overly dramatic music made this AMAZING! <3
LOVE the video format for your comic!!! You're the cat's meow! (too cheesy? yeah. you're probably right) Fantastic stuff here. WIN.
ReplyDeleteI really needed a laugh this morning . Thanks Allie!
ReplyDeleteOMFG! That was great! Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteWe need "Hyperbole and a Half: The Movie". I would see it opening night, and once a week after that. Daily when it goes to the cheap movies. Then I'd buy the special edition Director's Cut Box set from the Criterion Collection. And watch it NON-STOP.
ReplyDeleteI love you Allie... This is a lifetime of cat experience condensed into a minute and 24 seconds of awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey Allie,
ReplyDeleteThis is funny, but I feel like the animation undermined some of the impact of your drawings because they were moving all over the place. I couldn't see them for long enough to fully revel in all the subtle humor. Does that make sense? The drawings are so rich, I need time to really look at them. That's right, I said your drawings have subtle humor. :)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteI grew up with cats in my house and my sister was TOTALLY capable of whistling so loud and at a ear-bleeding pitch that she would cause our (now deceased) cat, Frisky, to come up to her in one swift movement and bite her.
So, cats are crazy. And so was my sister for provoking cats.
Hi Allie, I just found your blog and I think I have fallen in love with you. Don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything dangerous (I'm tiny and live too far away to ever get near you) but I will stalk you on the internet from now on :)
ReplyDeleteAllie, your blog reminds me of postsecret.com ... the part where you read some of the secrets, and you think "I'd love to know the story that goes with that secret", except you *do* give the story. So you're like the *best* part of postsecret.com
ReplyDeleteYes, five of their six ends are pointy!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I loved this! And I am owned by four cats.
OMG you made a video of my childhood!
ReplyDeleteAllie Brosh, this is rather wonderfully wonderful, marvellously marvellous, amazingly amazing and superbly super! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm literally LOLing and I can't stop. so so so funny
ReplyDeleteYour site makes me laugh out loud every single time. You're a freakin' genius.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the next big bit!
This blog is one of the best things about the internet. Just one complaint--this video is too short! Although a longer video might make me laugh so much I actually hurt myself, so maybe short is okay.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Totally reminds me of my cat.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is glorious. You've confirmed that most cat are, in fact, furry bags of razor blades just waiting to explode on an unsuspecting victim.
ReplyDeleteMy cat is too dopey to realize his destructive potential. He just eats until the chewing and digesting becomes too taxing, then he sleeps.
I'm pretty sure I love you.
ReplyDeleteThis made my life.
I have got to stop reading your blog when others in the house are asleep. They are awake now...
ReplyDeleteAll hail Queen Alllie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, stuck home with 2 sick kids - I needed a laugh!
Love this SO much! How is something this insanely great a casual tide-you-guys-over post???? Thanks, Allie, you are good to us.
ReplyDeleteOmg I fucking love you so hard right now. :-D
ReplyDeleteI laughed harder at this than I did at the comedy club I went to last night. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me a little bit uncomfortable/secretly giddy that so many of your childhood stories seem to be straight out of my life. I (or I should say my face) had a run-in with my brother's friend's cat the day before school pictures in 4th grade. Nothing like shredded skin to necessitate an early introduction to makeup.
ReplyDeleteI hate cats.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love these animals, but I also seem to be made of catnip. Every time someone says "oh, this cat never bites anyone," I seem to end up with cat fang piercings. Even my own cat liked to stalk me from around corners and try to latch onto my head. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the music in this video was just wonderful.
This was a lot more entertaining than a video of a cat attacking a child should be. Nice work. I felt the drama.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteCats are evil.
ReplyDeleteI loved the ending!
ReplyDelete"Cats: They have sharp parts."
Bhahahahaaha! I was laughing so much at 50 seconds, hurt my sore throat but lollllllll
ReplyDeleteThe grumpies that I woke up with this morning have dissipated. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Thank you. I now have to visit the chiropractor because I threw a rib out laughing so hard. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is what my cat was like when she aws stil alive. I have permanent scars from that small black ball of fluff and evil.
ReplyDeleteOnce, she was facing off against the two alsations the people down the road let just roam around. They were probably going to kill her. I walked in there, despite being terrified of dogs, to pick her up and take her away from them. I saved my cat from a lethal mauling and as thaks I got a non-lethal mauling. With a deep scar on what is now my left breast. Ow.
You never, ever fail to make me laugh out loud. You're brilliant and I can't wait until you're famous and brilliant and getting paid royally for the joy you give.
ReplyDeleteRemember:
ReplyDelete5 out of 6 ends are pointy.
bahahahaha I always love your posts
ReplyDeleteThat video make laugh so hard! :D
ReplyDeleteI love your posts and the pictures that go with them! XD XD
...and this is why I don´t like cats. :) Brilliant work! Portuguese fan here!
ReplyDeletewhoa, hilarious. also, i still have this problem when i drink and try to pet my cats. they hate the love sometimes.
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteMy cat bit me for no reason one time, so I put her in time out in one of my dresser drawers. Except for then I forgot about her and went to school, and my mom heard her yowling like 2 hours later and rescued her from near-suffocation and then I got grounded.
ReplyDeleteThis pretty much sums up my childhood cat and I's relationship. Love it! I look forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThat what my cat decided to do to my feet for the first 3 months of living here. She's turned her attentions to the curtains and managed to pull the curtain rod bracket out of the wall.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hokay, so, you should never meet my cat. She's beyond the need for Valium. Bald on one half of her body and has serious anger management issues. Had to have her declawed when the baby was born... Too scary. Chased an A/C repair man out my the bedroom window. BIG old redneck, too. Climbs legs, attacks with crazy kitty paws, etc... I think it's because she wasn't breastfed....
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm super creepy and i've been reading all about you. And all I can say is, besides being mildly OMFG SO FREAKING HILARIOUS, you're pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI always stepped on my friend's pet's tails. They didn't appreciate it. Proof of their lack of appreciation: my scratched up legs.

Although, I'm sure you're doing pretty well already...
ReplyDeleteI think you just found the easiest way to make money on the internet: Make all your posts into videos. If you get enough views, Youtube will allow you to ad advertisements, and you can make a living ENTIRELY off of your talent! Done! Yay!
Important safety tip Egon.
ReplyDeleteHilarious as always...the soundtrack totally makes it happen!
oh dear, I watched this while my sweet (so far) grey little kitten snuggled the keyboard. She's going to get ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm giggling because I'm 100% sure that's how my childhood cat saw me when she was hiding under the bed. She hissed and growled at me like a little demon. FORTUNATELY (for my face!!) my parents had her declawed, or the same would have happened to me. Not saying I didn't deserve it....
ReplyDeleteI had an experience like that, except I was an adult and the animal was my brother's-in-law pet prarie dog. It bit into my right hand and I couldn't shake it off. Still have a scar.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about this video - besides its killer production and musical ensemble - is the bit where child allie is just running left to right of screen, with cat firmly lodged in brain. For about 30 seconds. Then a darker version of that happens. Hollywood script writing potential right there baby.
ReplyDeleteAlso, cats aren't so bad. Can you blame them for totally not respecting peoples personal boundaries and not liking children? Why not make a community service announcement about the dangers of lizards? 1. They are like snakes, but with legs, which makes them so much worse.
2. 'Lizard' has the letter z in it, and Z in the shifty-est letter in the alphabet. Search in your heart. You know it to be true.
FUCK YEAH
ReplyDeleteYou caught the essence of an angry cat (mine acts like that sometimes O_O).
ReplyDeleteThis video is amazing!
I laughed. I cried. I mostly laughed.
ReplyDeleteI needed that today, a classic! Maybe too many repeats of the running left to right, right to left with cat attached, or maybe you could have added a bit more blood on each repeat? :)
ReplyDeleteps Alicia that wasn't a cat that was your little brother with a tail taped to him wasn't it, come on be honest...
Z
Cats are terrible. No one should have them, because this is what they do.
ReplyDeleteI can't even like people that are cat people. What don't they understand about cats being vicious bloodthirsty animals? I mean who would want to own a creature that responds to love and affection by using any of your accessible body parts as a scratching post?
In closing, cats are evil and should be given a taste of their own medicine. I propose that next time everyone sees a cat, poke it in the eye. Pull on its tail. Then, for the love of god (and your life), RUN.
Ahhh a post!
ReplyDeleteThis is super amazingly creepy.
The same thing happened to me with my friends dog.
It wouldn't let go of my butt...
>.>
Perfect, as usual. A friend of mine wrote "This is seriously the funniest thing I've seen in ages." I concur.
ReplyDeletethank you for making my day so much better!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible.
ReplyDeleteAlso, was I the only one that heard "COME HERE CAT" in the song when the "Come here kitty" part came on before I realized that that is near impossible and they are likely singing in another language?
I was?
Oh.
this. was. amazing.
ReplyDeletebut, that said, the things you write in combination with the drawings always seem to make your posts perfectly relatable. hopefully there will be more of both to come...?
You are amazing. end stop.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have lived the Sharp Parts nightmare.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, and should be shown to kids everywhere.
Love your twisted humor! You always make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI had a slightly similar, yet not so hysterically created into an awesome video, experience...
ReplyDeleteI simply picked up my kitten Scarlet, who was Siamese this is important as to why she is the way she is. I was holding her like a baby, and she was purring quite loudly. Then her front paws shot up and grabbed my chin, digging her little needle claws deep into my jaw. She then hissed in my face, dragged her little body up, and bit my chin.
I laugh now, but at the time I felt very confused.
Meowwwwwch....
ReplyDelete...I love you. XD
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the written stuff better... You come across better that way I think. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteOMG an ANIMATED hyperbole! This is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteOMFG No pets scared kitty without chain mail.
ReplyDeleteIn-frickin-credible... laughed so hard the cat came to see what was the matter with me. When I tried to show her the video, she wouldn't watch. Then I forced her head towards the laptop to MAKE her watch and she bit me. CATS HAVE SHARP PARTS!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, Allie. :D
Your shit is so funny. Thanks for entertaining us.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Had a cat named Lucifer as a kid. He would climb under the covers to sleep then claw anything that moved during the night. I almost lost a toe when I was 7.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis has totally happened to me.
Hyperbole goes multi-media.
ReplyDeleteThat video was amazing, and this blog totally caused me to start blogging.
ReplyDeleteOmg! I love it!! I reacted the same way to cats when I was little! ''Come here kitty!!''
ReplyDeleteI still have scars running down my face of a childhood cat incident that happened to me.
ReplyDeleteYour movie totally made me relive it.
So...thanks?
I went into a fit of giggling when the music changed... and then I thought of the time my ex's cat bitch-clawed me in the back when she was getting a bath.
ReplyDeleteWe had a cat once. A nice normal wonderful cat who loved everyone in our family. Even my little sister. That is until we left the two of them alone in a room. For whatever reason Oliver, the cat, would attack the shit out of my sister's head and face whenever the cat got her alone. Amber would scream, the cat would scream, mom would come running. Oliver would then hop off my sister and look at my mom like nothing happened. I don't know why she was crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason I have 6 dogs.
ReplyDeleteyou had a really terrible childhood... D:
ReplyDeleteEpic.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
you had me in stitches
ReplyDeleteOh I have some experiences just like that....Except it was our cat. Well I mean it's not our cat anymore, WAS our cat.
ReplyDelete"Do not pet when pointy" would also suffice, not only for cats, but cactus, sharks and velociraptors.
ReplyDeleteI've got the awareness ribbon for this -- it's bright red and shredded.
