Cat plays dead to avoid going for a walk...

1. Protest cat will not be moved. n/t

2. QUIT DRAGGING YOUR CAT AROUND!!!!!!

And quit overfeeding him. Recording your abusive behavior shows what a sick person you truly are.

3. Oh, please.

That cat looks perfectly fine and isn't being harmed in any way. It just really doesn't like wearing a harness.

4. For real? This isn't my cat or my video, but as the rescuer of more than 23 cats over the years

(I currently have seven cats in my house, one of which is a rescued feral who is still feral but recognizes a warm, safe place to live and free food as too good to give up), I can tell you that the cat in this video was not being harmed in any way.

In fact, that cat was making a very loud statement which was, after some loving laughter, respected.

Believe me, if the cat was being injured any way, it would not have been passively quiet. Cats do not take abuse silently or passively. They fight.

6. Bet you're fun at parties, too

The cat is obviously quite comfortable with these people. Their manner is gentle throughout.

9. Quit trying to hijack the thread! This cat is obviously okay. I had one that I

had to put a flea collar on, the cat stood there and let me do it. Then went to the door and asked to go outside. I put it out and about a half hour later, it came back in..sans flea collar. Never did find it.
When cats don't want to do something, they will do one of two things. Be very passive until it passes, or make you wish you had never tried to do anything to them. Not much action in between the two.

10. Wow…. You're special!

You need a pair of glasses and empathy training if you don't recognize -

1) Protest "sleep in" activity

2) Full figured, versus obesity

Neither of which constitute abuse! I will admit that purring does not represent contentment, but also fear… the same purr you may hear, should you every bath a cat who is afraid of that water, even though you lovingly do the task, finishing with warm fluffy towels and a hair-drier and treat afterwards… Ooops! treats that tend to create that full figure thing. Abuse! Abuse!

5. Love the ending

For those who criticize this video the ending shows the cat is fine.

7. Some of my friends initially swore he was drugged or very sick, actually, I was

wondering too until I saw the ending! Great ending. My cat, my 7x24 hour companion, used to pull antics like this and then suddenly jump up and bolt across the room.

When he was young, I tried to teach him to walk with a leash, LOL! That was something else. He saw it as something to climb, and then if he did calm down, he would just roll up in a ball saying "I ain't going nowhere unless you drag me along." I gave up on it all, quickly!

8. He's dead, Jim

Dead lazy.
