I love how she was just, ā€œeh, I got a cat now. I don’t need no stinking umbrella.ā€

She, most of all, let her phone on the floor..

She didn't have enough slots in her inventory for umbrella, phone and cat.

This is exactly how I cracked my phone screen once.

Was sitting on a bench with a hot chocolate and my phone. Neighborhood cat jumped on my lap. One of the three things had to fall, and I didn't want to spill hot chocolate on the cat. The phone was sacrificed for the greater good.

Cat distribution system was aggressive that day

I rescued a (domestic) baby bunny earlier this year. Didn’t realize I left my phone until about 10 minutes after, lol. Brain was in saving baby animal mode.

Edit: would y’all believe that I tried to rescue another animal at work yesterday? I wasn’t successful but animal control was. A chihuahua bee-lined out of the forest near where I park, and I tried for several minutes to catch him, but he was getting too near to traffic, and I was already late, but animal control came just in time and took over the rescue efforts and got him back to his owners.

Please tell me you kept that little fucker 🄹

I gave him to an experienced rabbit owner with several rabbits at home. Don’t get me wrong, I thought about it, but I have a tiny apartment and two asshole cats who would probably spend every waking moment harassing him. His name is Elsa (she confirmed he is male, but her daughter insisted his name be Elsa, lol). He melted right into her arms when I did the handoff and he didn’t relax at all in my presence (probably because I spent 20 minutes chasing him around an enclosed cart corral and in and out the bottoms of about 200 shopping carts). I also rescued a kitten who was adopted by the customer who spotted her (and has given me updates every week for the last 3 4 years; time is escaping me, lol).

u/abbyabsinthe 5d ago

And here’s the cat I rescued at work, lol (it’s a running joke that I’m the designated rescuer at work; I’ve also rendered first aid multiple times to humans). The one on the bottom, Macy. The family had just adopted the girl on top and weren’t expecting to add another cat to their family. Unfortunately, the older one did escape and got hit on the road recently, she did not survive. But they’ve added another cat to the family, a boy I believe, and Macy gets along great with him.

Being selected by the Cat Gods changes everything.

I like how she turned around and then was like "screw it."

u/citrus_mystic 6d ago

It’s wearing a harness. I wonder if it was supposed to be attached to something to keep it on a balcony, but it got the leash off. I’m kind of surprised that the kitten didn’t seem very frightened after landing inside the umbrella. It must have convinced itself that everything was going to plan. This was all part of its breakout routine.

I’m glad she scooped it up immediately, so that it didn’t run off to get lost after surviving that fall. I hope she was able to get it home right after this, and that its owners were more careful about securing it. That baby is already knocking off lives left and right.

u/RedLicorice83 6d ago

Pretty sure she left her phone too!

u/woahhhface 6d ago

She wasn't trying to catch it with the umbrella, she was definitely trying to just catch it with her two hands but in the process she flipped her umbrella and caught it that way. Lucky for both of them

80

u/mightylordredbeard 6d ago

Yeah it’s amazing how people just don’t have the critical thinking skills to see this.

73

u/AttonJRand 6d ago

Its entirely possible she was trying to do both and realized the umbrella extended her range.

Just making one rigid assumption isn't exactly all that critical either.

u/DigitalAdon 5d ago

Look at her hands right before she catches the cat and guess again

u/mdm1935 3d ago

i’m so glad somebody already pointed this out! Thank you for all the people who can actually see this. lol

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

We do not allow:

  1. Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc.
  2. Harassment
  3. Trolling or sealioning
  4. Threats of any kind
  5. Abusive behavior
  6. General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one.

u/illzkla 6d ago

It literally showed it in the first 2 seconds. What are you talking about?

25

u/Boobsworth 6d ago

I think that's what they're saying. The video is so short that it's silly teasing the ending in the first two seconds.

-18

u/illzkla 6d ago

Oh yeah I guess. It just seemed okay to me overall cuz showed the climax and then showed the buildup. IDK what else we trying to get

22

u/bigboybeeperbelly 6d ago

The buildup and then the climax have you never fucked

-10

u/illzkla 5d ago

No but maybe you could change that

2

u/bigboybeeperbelly 5d ago

You really haven't? Well just know that typically it's buildup, climax, buildup, climax, etc. I guess you can start with a climax but that's pretty avant garde

Cat Distribution System getting out of hand with how it is distributing the cats.

u/Mysterious-Falcon221 5d ago

I'm just leaving my umbrella at home from now on because I don't need a cat.

u/Sleepy58743689 6d ago

Love how she clearly went

"my umbrella!"

looks at cat

"Fuck that umbrella"

Then just leaves it lmao

u/shnowflake 6d ago

Way more than her umbrella, she left her phone!

26

u/Carbon-Base 6d ago

Her logic: Cats avoid water -> I am holding a cat -> Therefore water will avoid me

4

u/LemonTeaFerret 6d ago

Makes sense. Cats and toddlers are similar in that when they’re trying to run off, I need both of my hands to make sure they don’t yoink away from me and go running into traffic.

3

u/Skimable_crude 5d ago

I think she was in a bit of shock. Probably adrenaline surging. She's awesome.

u/alternatealternates 6d ago

Love the look back at the umbrella afterwards like ā€œah fuck it I’ve got the cat!ā€

u/JazzleDunne 6d ago

I love how she’s like nah I don’t need my phone as a distraction when my life’s purpose just fell out of the sky 😹😹

u/IndependentNerve2020 6d ago

Catch a cat, keep a cat.Ā

u/xXBlackMambaKingXx 6d ago

99% sure this was her own cat falling from her house. The cat didn’t run away from her even though it was initially spooked by the fall

u/writeleahwrite šŸ•·ļø itchy bitchy spider šŸ•·ļø 6d ago

She should’ve kept the umbrella in case of dogs

Most aggressive example of cat distribution system I’ve ever seen. 🫪

Who needs umbrella when you have kitty

If so, then report the post and let the mod team know what evidence you have. Just saying it's AI isn't evidence.

They’re going on a quest now.

u/PoliteSupervillain 6d ago

I don't buy this. Who leaves their phone on wet ground and just walks away

13

u/shnowflake 6d ago

Probably to secure the cat in her nearby car or building before going back? The video says this is China, I’ve heard the culture is very different than the US. It can be common to leave your phone on a table in restaurant to ā€œreserve itā€ while you go to the counter to order

u/marco161091 ā£ļøgal palā£ļø 6d ago

Kitten just fell out of the literal sky.

She’s probably pumped full of adrenaline, not thinking of anything except just walking away with the kitten and getting her bearings first.

u/Zebedeuepaminondas 6d ago

People who love cats and live in an extremely safe country where you don't have to worry about anyone taking it.

And why’d she ditch a perfectly good and obviously useful umbrella
