Competitive Cat Ends Slap Fight With Little Boy

We are not saying that this cat in this video will ever be an elite boxing champion but he can certainly hold his own in a slap fight. He is also a surprisingly patient and calm cat. Obviously, the boy and the cat are playing but the cat totally lets him get in…hold on, let’s count. We saw at least 18 slaps from the boy to the cat’s cheeks. We did this twice, so we are pretty certain on this count, but let us know if you counted less or more.

Anyway, this is one seriously patient cat. I have had a few cats in my family over the years and I can’t think of any that were as patient as this orange guy. They would all have jumped at the first light tap, okay, maybe the second or third one. But 18? Never, no, no how, no way. But maybe he was just building up his own slap. Because when he finally unleashes on the kid it is a great moment for everybody.

While the kid is doing one slap at a time alternating between the cat’s cheeks. The cat has a different, possibly better technique to win this battle. He leaps up. I mean there is a height difference, so as the imaginary rules committee, we’ll allow it. The cat’s technique involves using both of his paws to hit the kid in the face. Basically, he gets a double slap going! The power and technique is too much for the kid and he completely falls over, but also probably from surprise. The cat stands triumphantly over his vanquished foe, deservedly so.
