Firstly sorry if the video formatting is strange. I have no control over it. It still works - just.
For me, being a cat lover and a purist, this video which might be described as a "funny cat video" is a bit disturbing because apparently the owner of these five cats is amused by the fact that when he coughs loudly his cats run away in terror. Of course, as the floor is hard they slip and slide on it which is an added aspect of the video which makes it even more funny. That's why it was filmed in the first place and why it was uploaded to the Internet. Funny cat videos are hugely popular and have been for a decade. But what about the cats? Why did a simple cough terrify them? I think that we need to ask that question and answer it. The only possible reasonable reason is that this man has used his voice to frighten his cats in the past. Perhaps he has shouted at them or ordered them about and they've become sensitive to his voice when the sound he makes is aggressive in nature. Perhaps I'm wrong and to protect myself I would say that what I'm saying are allegations. I don't know for sure but it is strange that making an innocuous sound can terrorise cats like this. I don't find it funny. What do you think? Please leave a comment.
