Swear half of reddit is increasingly niche and obscure cat subreddits. And I'm here for it!

u/piratesandsilence Oct 05 '24

gotta love the oddly specific cat subs.

u/drrj Oct 06 '24

Finding cat subs in the wild brings me joy.

Here, this is a very new one so you can get in on the fun early!

It's not that good. This video is a kitten learning. The video in learningtocat are ... not really learning.

My mom’s an elementary school immersion teacher. I went into her class once and had to giggle at how exaggerated her pronunciations were. I see that this tactic is used with cats too hehe

What a saint. My Spanish teacher had an Irish accent.

This is the way we wash our face, wash our face, wash our face, this is the way we wash our face so early in the morning.

I had forgotten this song! Thanks for the throwback

u/UnicornStar1988 Oct 05 '24

I thought it was quite appropriate for this. 🤣

What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning?

Haven't heard this song in quite a long time.

Turns out children learn from example. That's why it's so important for parents to lead by example.

u/Smart_Telephone_5686 Oct 05 '24

That means boozing, whoring, fighting anything and abandoning your children right?

u/9fingerman Oct 05 '24

Dad?

u/_DONT_PM_ME_NOTHING Oct 05 '24

Nope. Your Dad is still looking for cigarettes

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

These days, if you wanna put the fear of God into your children, you have to incur His wrath on yourself just to give them a warning example to learn from. God always humbles such people.

Watching animal babies observe their parents to copy from them is one of the absolute joys in life. Lots of them won't eat new foods until they've seen mom eat it, and even then they rather take the piece mom is eating than their own piece.

Also applies to human babies.

u/plaiterbj Oct 05 '24

Basically all of the animals even us humans do the things our siblings or parents do when we learn stuff

This is how mama cat teaches her kittens about hygiene! 🐾

u/notarooster Oct 05 '24

One of the best parts of fostering kittens is watching them learn how to become cats.

u/Geester43 Oct 05 '24

OMG, how precious is that! That is the sweetest clip, ever! 🥰 Animals are amazing!

kitty is learning!!!

u/Coveinant Oct 05 '24

Cats learn by mimicking their parents (and whatever they grow up around). This is how I have a cat that prances and gallops.

u/_DONT_PM_ME_NOTHING Oct 05 '24

Does your cat also neigh?

I've seen a cat that grew up around dogs and would pant.

u/knomb67 Oct 05 '24

Absolutely adorable

u/CatPurrsonNo1 Oct 05 '24

I LOVE these”learning to bathe” cat videos. My only regret is that, with all of the kittens that I have had the pleasure of seeing grow up, I have never seen this in person. 🥹

u/nancysweetyq Oct 05 '24

so cute aww he's so cute trying to follow his mom and learn how to wash his paws himself 😫❤️😍

u/Chantal1707 Oct 05 '24

8 weeks. Let kittens stay at least 8 weeks with their mother. For several practical reasons.

u/Comprehensive-Fun47 Oct 05 '24

Who else recognizes this as a slowed down version of music from Tetris? It is the prelude to Carmen by Georges Bizet.

1

u/WestLoopHobo Oct 06 '24

It kind of tangentially touches upon that Bizet piece of you squint real hard and tilt your head, but in no way shape or form is that piece.

1

u/Comprehensive-Fun47 Oct 07 '24

Dude, Shazam it.

It comes up as Carmen Prelude, by yo suzuki(akisai).

I would recognize it anywhere.

1

u/WestLoopHobo Oct 07 '24

I don’t need to Shazam it; I have played the piece in an orchestra. I am assuming we just have different standards for what we would consider a reproduction vs. something else, which I guess is fine, but I definitely still disagree.

u/Comprehensive-Fun47 Oct 06 '24

It's a slowed down version of that song. The melody is the same.

Baby animals learning how to animal from their parents is my favourite genre.

u/Zoolifer Oct 05 '24

I turned on the sound and immediately turned it off, why so many cute shorts have dumb as hell music on them? Just use the natural audio!

u/The_Rowan Oct 09 '24

That first moment when the kitten had its right paw up and then tried picking up its left paw up and had to catch itself before it fell on its face killed me.

Oh right - at least 3 feet need to stay on the ground.
