Shorty the cat demonstrates a challenging yoga sequence in this instructional video for you and your kitty!

When we think of cats, we think of these nimble little creatures that love to impose their needs and wants on to everybody else, thinking they are kings and we their servants. While the latter is true, domesticated cats seem to really love being sedentary and lame around the home. Why wouldn’t they, when they have us, their servants, to wait on them hand and foot, fill their bowls, empty their litter boxes and play with them day and night. But even a loyal cat servant needs some time for himself and Shorty and Kody’s dad spends him alone time on the workout mat. He is an advanced <a href="https://rumble.com/v3yz4g-cats-interrupting-yoga.html" target="_blank">yoga</a> practitioner, but he likes some calisthenics as well. Both his feline dictators find his demeanor peculiar and unconventional, so whenever he whips out the workout mat and gets down to business, both Shorty and Kody love to literally get in his face! Shorty especially likes to mock his human, comparing him a dog. Since they rarely get to reach his head, both <a href="https://rumble.com/v34zu9-the-joys-of-having-cats.html" target="_blank">cats</a> also love to rub their tails across his face and sniff his hair. Shorty even mocked him of his hygiene habits, saying how he should bather more often. Doesn’t he know that we all stink when we exercise? Whenever he is working out, both cats think of it as an invitation to go up to him and ask for scratches by head-bumping his palms. As if holding himself in a plank position means his hands are free! If you weren’t convinced that cats are tyrants, we hope this made you see things clearly!

We are all familiar with the crazy antics our cats are prone to. Sure, they run around the house, push things around and make messes in general. But how do you know if your cat actually loves you? Some say cats only show what you think is love in order to get food. Browse through this list of six reasons and decide for yourself whether they are genuine proofs of love! Cat owner created a list of six reasons why their cat loves them, followed by a video compilation of cats demonstrating those same reasons on camera, to support the statement. You might find some rather un-feline like behavior in this fantastic clip that will make you wonder whether cats can really show emotions. A ton of people love their cats, but do cats feel the same way? Did you ever notice that your cat is drooling over you? We mean, real, long drool is coming out of her mouth? As disgusting as it might seem, that would mean that your cat is pleased to be around you. Your feline is happy, and there is nothing wrong with it! Here is a reason plus to love your cat! Have you ever nested comfortably on the couch to watch you favorite TV show and your cat snug next to you, pretending to be watching South Park with you? This might be another reason to believe that your <a href="https://rumble.com/v320by-signs-that-your-cat-owns-you.html" target="_blank">cat is showing some serious affection</a> for you! Be proud! Next, if your beloved <a href="https://rumble.com/v38og7-8-signs-your-cat-is-trying-to-kill-you.html" target="_blank">felines</a> bring you all sorts of gifts, from toys to food, be sure that they like you and want to flaunt their prey in front of you. It means that the cat is proud and wants to be praised for its effort. Show that you care and accept the gift! Cats tend to be loners and want to have time for themselves, so if you notice that they never leave you alone, and want you around, it certainly means that they have a deep feeling for you, and this is the way they show it! Make sure you acknowledge that! In addition, if they hate when you leave the house and protest by meowing, and can’t wait for you to come home, you have passed the test and made real friends with your cat. She is into you, congratulations! Share your thoughts! Music is Music Box by Kevin MacLeod.

It's easy to be distracted and leave plastic bags on the floor or within reach of curious pets and children. Whether they're hiding in them, playing with them, or eating them, pets and children can be easily suffocated or ingest a dangerous amount of plastic. Footage shows a black cat by the name of Shorty neatly entangled in a plastic bag having the time of his life, until he realizes that he is feeling trapped and tries to escape, but to no avail. <a href="https://rumble.com/v39win-for-some-reason-this-cat-loves-plastic-bags.html" target="_blank">Cats are naturally attracted to plastic bags</a>, but owners should know that it only takes a second for a cat to wrangle themselves into an inescapable situation, which can sometimes have a negative outcome. It only takes seconds to get trapped in a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ltcb-kenya-imposes-worlds-toughest-plastic-bags-law.html" target="_blank">plastic bag</a> and panic sets soon. The handle tightens around the neck through movement and can lead to suffocation in minutes. Owners often leave their shopping bags on the floor or around the house where their pets can easily reach. They make for fun hiding places for cats and hold magnetic attraction to them. Animals love the crinkly sound that plastic bags produce, but nonetheless they should always be supervised around them, and all plastic bags should be removed from the room before leaving. Curiosity killed the cat, they say! Shorty started to play with the plastic bag and owner found it as a good opportunity to make a video for all the unsuspecting owners and parents out there, and warn about the actual damages that an innocent plastic bag can do to our loved ones. It is a good lesson to learn! In addition, licking or eating plastic bags can be harmful to your cat. The biggest concern is eating the plastic which can get caught in her stomach or intestine that could require surgery. Please keep all plastic away from cats if possible! Have you ever set your groceries down only to come back to a kitchen that has been transformed into the meeting place for all of the plastic bags in your home? Cats can be real jerks sometimes!

These cats LOVE watching the snow and trying to catch it through the window. Hilarious!

It is the most magical time of the year - families far and wide whip out their trees, ornaments and fairy lights and create their own version of a fairy tale winter wonderland. Everything shines and glistens like it’s made of ice, bringing a sense of calm and beauty in people’s homes. But, homes that include a four-legged family member don’t get to experience and calm Christmas hen the lights come up. If it twinkles or moves even with the slightest breeze, you can bet the shirt on your back that the family pet will take that thing down with one swift move of the paw. Sometimes it is the dog that can ruin Christmas. If it doesn’t attack the ornaments, then it probably pees on the log; you better go and check. But most often it is cat owners that will probably never feel the true joy that are <a href="https://rumble.com/v3zbxj-funny-cat-inspects-christmas-decorations.html">Christmas decorations</a> ever again. Why? Because those adorable fur babies that we love to cuddle with and pet until our hands fall off can turn into vicious beasts on a mission to knock over every Christmas decoration in the world! Here to demonstrate this very fact is Shorty the cat. No matter how simple or elaborate the ornaments that get placed in front of him are, Shorty will stop at nothing to have them knock on the ground, thrown aboard, obliterated! No matter if it’s wooden or sparkly, small or large, this feline beast will dismiss every notion you have for the holiday, to the point of you running for cover with tear-filled eyes. “No, not the <a href="https://rumble.com/v33001-the-nutcracker-by-kodi-the-cat.html">Nutcracker</a>!” Own a cat? Then you can probably relate to this! Check out what happens every single time an ornament is placed next to this kitty. Hilarious!

We all have our favorite food. Animals have theirs too. We have seen some dogs wake up from their sweet slumber the moment they hear the familiar sound of a bag of food rustling to be opened. But we have not seen a cat’s eyes light up when the word “treat” gets mentioned. Until now. Shorty the cat plays the lead role in this hilarious video. Obviously, this black furball has been through some training on his own. Watch what happens when his owner mentions that magic word... The owner asks: “Shorty, do you want a treat?” Shorty’s reaction to this redundant question is <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ekuv-funny-cats-fooled-very-funny-video.html" target="_blank">funny</a> to say the least. His big green eyes open wide with excitement and stare back at his human, waiting for those delicious treats that he mentioned. The man asks the kitty several times, but not once has a handful of yummy kibble been offered to him. Where are those treats, Alex? The lack of treats being presented makes Shorty think that the whole conversation is just some terrible joke at his tummy’s expense. Every time Alex mentions the word “treats”, adorable Shorty’s eyes open wider and wider in expectation of a yummy piece of kibble. At one point, his pupils are so wide, you can see the universe in them! How can anyone resist these glowing emerald marbles? “I hear the sound of treats! Yup, he is going to give me some treats” goes through Shorty’s mind. But no, it it is not the thing that Shorty was hoping for, just his brother. That’s when Kody appears on camera. “Did someone mention <a href="https://rumble.com/v3f1q4-desperate-for-treats-growlers-hilarious-attempt-to-stealfrom-the-kitchencup.html" target="_blank">treats</a>?”

Check out how much fun this cat has while playing inside a large cardboard box. Epic!

Cats will be cats, and what more do cats want to do at Christmas than "help" with the decorating? Shorty, Kodi and a bunch of friends demonstrate just how helpful they can be as they list the reasons why they so desperately want to climb the Christmas tree. Remember to keep your cats safe, folks. These are some fun clips of cats doing what they naturally do, but cats can easily harm themselves by climbing up or playing in the tree, ingesting tinsel and toxic materials, and of course by playing with the lights. They think everything that is hanged on the tree or on the stairways or on the windows is good and interesting enough to be tasted. There is lots of info online on how to cat-proof your tree and how to train your cat not to go near the tree. Do lots of research and monitor your cats closely so you can all have safe and happy holidays! “Meow… Christmas time at least, I am going to have a blast! I am happily setting up although I am never asked”. I bet cats have taken very seriously this song… Dancing under the tree bulbs and lights sure are very funny, especially when you are a cat, my friend!

Out of all the age-old questions that have been bothering people since the beginning of time, one seems to be the most mysterious of them all - how attached are cats to their human owners? Is the affection they show on their excellent days real or just a means of manipulating them for sustenance? Here we have the perfect test subject to demonstrate just how strongly a feline feels the absence of his human as soon as he leaves the house. Watch as this footage captures <a href="https://rumble.com/v33001-the-nutcracker-by-kodi-the-cat.html" target="_blank">Kodi the cat</a> after his owner leaves home, showing that he's still as Kodi-pendent as ever! As soon as Kodi realizes that he has been left at home alone with only his older brother Shorty to keep him company, the black-and-white kitty begins his search for his provider of food and love. At first, he just plays with his catnip stuffed toy and seems not to mind the loneliness. But things turn for the sad when one of his claws gets stuck in the fabric of the stuffed toy and the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3qxzt-cat-pulls-food-away-from-human.html" target="_blank">cat</a> really wants it his mouth, so he starts crying. Things get even more pathetic when he starts wobbling around meekly like he can't do anything about it. But his owner always leaves out an old t-shirt for him to lay on and, sure enough, there he was curled up on it when he gets home! It amazing to see a cat so sensitive! Cats tend to be loners and want to have time for themselves, so if you notice that they never leave you alone, and wish you around, it certainly means that they have a deep feeling for you, and this is the way they show it! Make sure you acknowledge that! So Kodi shows signs of love and affection for his owner, significant time and we love that! Felines are reserved creatures. Be that as it may, this does not mean they don't love their proprietors or never show it. There is a wide range of ways they show the amount they adore their owners. Your cat will show you she likes you by hanging around by you. So if your cats show these signs that she loves you, you are a fortunate person. So, don’t be modest and teach your cat that you love her too! They will like the affection, care, love and all the hugs and kisses! Cats are so adorable!

Ever felt so tired to get ready and go to the gym and work out? Instead of going to the gym you tell yourself to stay at home and try some workout videos you’ve been watching them all year? However, working from home does not always goes as plan. Sometimes instead of working out alone in peace, we end up working out with your pet? How did that happen? We guess they want to spend some quality time with us and work out with us and that is what exactly happened to this guy when his cat decided to join him in his yoga routine. Cats are incredible creatures. It seems that no matter how much we try to describe them, we can never do it in one word. There are so many sides to a cat, and they switch between them all in the blink of an eye. They can be real angels, nudging you with their marshmallow paws on your chest and looking at you with round intelligent eyes, knowing that you need some <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ujlf-thats-a-tasty-looking-foot..-think-ill-eat-it.html" target="_blank">furry love</a>. They also love to wake you up with those same paws in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. They are brilliant creatures, and they can weather any storm on their own. It seems like you can never truly domesticate them and it’s fine, they are perfect each way. However, at times they can be distracting, say, right at that time when you need to do yoga and you need all the concentration possible. Just ask this owner, he’s got lots of experience with these cuddly and extremely needy furballs. In the footage we can see him trying to do yoga and exercise and his beloved pets are right there, <a href="https://rumble.com/v35dgw-5289584.html" target="_blank">in his face</a>. They beg for his attention, sneaking underneath him while he’s doing push-ups and stroking his face with their tails. They bump into him on occasion during their stroll around the house, and they would amp up the volume of their fight so he can’t have his peace of mind while meditating. Check it out as this kitty joins his owner alongside his yoga routine. Priceless! He looks like wants to show his owner that he can work and get in shape too! Unfortunately, it’s not enough space for both of them! So, someone needs to leave, and we know that is not going to be the cat! Kitty sabotage!

There's nothing like a fuzzy paw to the face to wake you up every single morning. Hilarious!

Shorty wants that Christmas tree up right MEOW! Watch Kodi on the piano, keeping a close eye like a little kitty Grinch!

Don't just let your cat sit in the corner and eat and sleep. Play with them as much as you can (and as much as they want to). You'll both benefit! Here we see Shorty playing hide and seek with his owner. One would think that a <a href="https://rumble.com/v305nw-cat-and-girl-playing-hide-and-seek.html" target="_blank">cat</a>, being such a good little hunter, could sniff out his owner and call him out, but apparently good old Shorty has lost his hunter's instincts to kibble and treats. We see the human running into a room and leaving the door ajar. Then, from behind the corner on the far end comes Shorty, completely alert but very confident in his ability to track down his human. He walks to the room where his owner hid, stops for a bit and then moves on to other end of the hallway, where he stops dead in his tracks. Apparently, the human isn’t there, so he lets out an exasperated tril (a sound between a meow and a purr), as if to try and call his owner out of hiding. But that didn’t work. So he goes to look for the blasted human all over the apartment! Shorty tries every sound he can think of to coax his human out of hiding, which proves that he knows nothing about playing <a href="https://rumble.com/v3kypt-cute-cats-play-hide-and-seek.html">hide and seek</a>. Whether it was Shorty’s incessant meowing or he just felt sorry for his ignorant pet, the human emerges from his hiding place eventually.

We'll take 'Things I Didn't Know I Needed' for $1,000, Alex! This person was sent a cat yoga mat to try, and Kodi gets downright Zen about the whole thing. Now, we all know how curious cats can get. The saying “curiosity killed the cat" wasn’t coined for nothing! Our feline companions can get into some pretty sticky situations if they set their mind on it. But it does happen that they get others into some sticky situations, again because of their insatiable, hunter-like curiosity. Kody here is one such cat. His owner Alex is a passionate <a href="https://rumble.com/v3c6uv-cat-yoga.html">yoga</a> practitioner and instructor, so he regularly records himself doing yoga and uploads those videos online. One company that produces yoga mats for cats decided to send him one of their products to try, to which the Yogi happily obliged. But you see, <a href="https://rumble.com/v33001-the-nutcracker-by-kodi-the-cat.html">Kody</a> wanted to be on the human yoga mat! Yoga is a very tricky discipline and requires a lot of focus on balance, so a cat can only make things worse. That is when Kody’s owner brings out his very own yoga mat, with a ball attached, to keep him occupied. As soon as the kitty mat arrives, Kody stations himself on and doesn’t move. Now that is the definition of ZEN!

Check out a montage of this cat's answer when asked who's a good boy. Such a smart kitty!

Lesson for the day: Hold on to what you love, and don't let go! Too cute!

All babies are adorable, but baby kittens seem to be the cream of cute. So tiny and playful, you can never be bored with them while they're young. But cute as they might be, their penchant for playing can get out of hand and become tiresome, especially if the kitty is set on climbing on your pants, biting you on the way up! Footage shows owner trying to cook a meal in the kitchen, when a playful kitten comes along and engages in a fierce play. Meet two-months-old Kody, who is the true definition of a playful kitty, he is tiny, agile and loves to climb. One of his best quests is to mount on his human’s pants and scream out his lungs ‘I am on the top of the world’! However, owner was doing his chores and wasn’t in the mood to play, so when Kody set his mind on climbing the leg of owner’s pyjama pants, he caught owner off guard and gave him a scratch or two. Then, despite of human's desperate attempts to shake him off, Kody continued the struggle, ignoring the cries to stop! Apparently, Kody was getting a little too aggressive with his human, so moments later his big sister Shorty came to the rescue of owner, and put Kody in his place, showing him who's the boss. Sometimes, the <a href="https://rumble.com/v328pn-cat-pranks-kitten.html" target="_blank">playful nature of kittens</a> reminds us just how amazing life can be, because there is nothing sweeter than a little ball of fur curled into your arms to sleep. Kittens are awesome, but they are also holy living terrors. Between the sharp teeth and the razor claws, it’s surprising any of us survive kittenhood. When they are little owners should wear two or three pair of pants at the same time just to save their legs from scratches, given kittens have very sharp teeth and claws, they still don’t know how to control. When God was creating the kitten, he wanted to make something as soft as a cotton ball and put razor wire on its paws and in its mouth to keep the balance running.Thankfully, the adult <a href="https://rumble.com/v3294x-kitten-rescues-human-hand-from-a-dangerous-fall.html" target="_blank">cat came to the rescue</a> and made sure that those teeth and claws are put away, for a while at least. Tip for the owner, always wear an extra pair of pants!
