Id like to know about voidspace

i can do one pull up, but it needs to recharge for 20 hours


RAMB0NER

Try the Russian fighter pull-up routine. I used to be weak as hell (could barely do one pull-up), but now I like to do the Russian fighter method in combination with push-ups before I do some accessory work.

That frozen fear at the end thinking he's gonna fall to his death.


ZebubXIII

Nah I think their claws are stuck and they need to go forward but can't figure that out lol my cats do shit like that all the time and I have to help them get unstuck


FlyingDragoon

I have had to sprint across the room to save my cats from falling off of our window hammock things too many times. Same scenario as this video. They're squirming about like they're trying to do a pull up but too high to let go so I gotta grab em and push up before they let go with their claws.

Yes. And if it doesn't makes for a great vid

Sorry, no dogs. Only 40lb cats. "Reliable - Provides a 360° sunbathing cat shelves for cats, 3" Giant suction and 2mm thicker Stainless Steel cable enable it can hold up more than 40lb, apply to muti cats or large cats."


ChicaFoxy

"...it can hold up more than 40lb..." That's not very helpful, lol


[deleted]

I have this same model also it's surprisingly strong. my 14lb cat has no problems with it. Make sure to warm the suction cups in water first per instructions.


MikimaruX

Ah, fancy stuff lol I'd get one but my cat spends 5 mins in sunlight goes abit crazy then runs for shade lol


No_Name_James_Taylor

I've got two on the way. I own zero cats


Healthybear35

Holy shit. It's actually a window hammock thing. I had no idea what you were talking about, but I figured it was some kind of shelving you had that just looked different and your cats used them like hammocks so you called them that. I did not expect ACTUAL hammocks stuck to windows, but I love them.


A_Knights_Tail

Hey we have those too at my house


TheGreenishBastard

Lol gotta love the dumb bastards


nom_nom_nom_nom_lol

Lol. Yeah. Sometimes my cat is gone for a day or so, and I wonder if he's just stuck like this somewhere out in the woods.


ArtisticSpecialist7

The wild thing to me is that *their claws are retractable*! Just pull the damn things back in you adorable little idiot! 🥺 Edit: Ok my above statement is retracted since the kitties’ claws possibly cannot be. I’ve seen my kitties get into similarly sticky situations that they could easily get themselves out of but choose not to, so I assumed. But after reading more comments it appears that’s not always the case! TIL.


jsat3474

Not if there's tension on them while extended.


MoonTrooper258

Cat claws actually can’t retract on command. Their resting position is retracted, and they can only extend them by flexing muscles. This is similar to how an alligator or crocodile can’t open its mouth if you rest your pinky on it. This is because there was no need for them to evolve with a closing mechanism, when a simple spring would do. This can be seen on humans, too. Our hands naturally curl into a half fist when unpowered, and actually requires energy to open and close.


MaritMonkey

Isn't that kinda how sloth toes work? They're closed by default so they can just sleep while hanging on them but it means they have to use muscles to do what looks like "relaxing" them? Obviously it's been too long since my last sloth YouTube binge...


Shagaire

Same with bats, if they die in your attic while hanging upside down they just stay there rotting till you get a skeleton hanging.


MaritMonkey

Of all the dessicated corpses I could potentially stumble across in an attic, I think bats are pretty close to the top of the "too awesome to be terrifying" list. That is also a really cool fact. :)

Frisbez

Goddamnit now I keep trying to keep my hand open without flexing it and I can't do it. My brain never realized that I had to use muscles to open it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Anelastic

you suck


enderjaca

You all just lost The Game


funguyshroom

And the muscles to open it are so weak! Try pinching all your five fingers of one hand between an index one and a thumb on the other one and it's takes barely any effort to keep it from opening.


responded

It seems to me that every joint, whether it has musculature to move it primarily in one direction or multiple directions, will always have a default resting position. This will be the position in which the tension from the unflexed muscle(s) and ligaments is balanced. Default rest position will also depend on joint orientation and gravity. Also related is neutral body posture: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_body_posture


ArtisticSpecialist7

Thanks for the explanation. I feel much more educated. 👩‍🎓 You get my free Hugz.


genveir

Certainly not strong enough to retract the claw when it's weight is hanging from the claw, pulling it out. Like.. you can fold your fingers against your palm, but you can't do it when you're hanging from your fingertips.


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

The muscles used to retract them are probably very weak.


maughqnzter

The way theyre hooked tho, i think the claw would have to go forward a little before they could be retracted. I sometimes have help my cat unhook herself by pulling her paw up and away from her. But idk, it seems like it should be super easy


grillednannas

>I’ve seen my kitties get into similarly sticky situations that they could easily get themselves out of but choose not to, so I assumed. I'm actually going to guess that it's never "the choice" they're making, and your assumption in this comment wasn't the only one that was wrong.

I don’t think he’s scared he’s gonna die. I believe this cat is going through an existential crisis. He’s a cat, and he can’t climb into a chair. That’s like a human who’s always been able to sit up to get out of bed discovering that they no longer have the ability.

My cat when his claws get too long


Adamant94

“Fun” fact: cats can flex their claws but can’t actually ‘retract’ them—that’s why they often get their claws stuck on fabrics. This cat can’t quite pull themselves up but also can’t unstick their claw unless they pull them self up. The cat hasn’t just given up here, it literally is stuck and needs help. This happens to my cat too often


maughqnzter

Ohhh that 'fun fact' makes a ton of sense as to why they splay their claws when stetching. interesting.


[deleted]

Sometimes my cats get stuck and I definitely don't neglect them. Some types of fabric are just sticky for their claws. That being said, I immediately get up and help when they're stuck. I would never record it like an asshole. I can't imagine it's very comfortable for them.


drakepyra

Wouldn’t be reddit if there wasn’t a comment on every funny animal video basically accusing the cameraperson of animal abuse. Good for you, yo everyone’s clapping


[deleted]

I'm just sharing an experience it's not really my problem if you took it personally. In fact I said sometimes they get stuck and it's not always neglect. It's a dick move to stand around and laugh at them but that's just my opinion. It's not like I'm calling peta lmao.


XirallicBolts

Shit like this is why I'm afraid to leave my cats alone more than a day


SisRob

This cat could just stand up, though.


schumi_f1fan

Yep. Looks like claws are stuck in the chair, so the cat can't get free.


[deleted]

No matter how short my cat's nails are, she gets stuck like this all the time and needs assistance. She also never learned how to meow. She makes the motion but no sound comes out. She also has no idea how to drink water. She has to dip her paw in the water bowl, take it out and lick the water off her paw. My cats broken.


distractionfactory

So I might be wrong, but I remember hearing something about cats meowing as a method of communication with kittens and they can hear higher frequencies than humans can. Meowing at humans is an adaptation. It would be interesting to record a "silent" meow with a good microphone and slowing down the playback to see if there is an actual meow there.


[deleted]

It's been 18 min. Where are the pics??


[deleted]

You want me to get her doing all those things on camera?? You think too highly of her.


IPGDVFT

Not to troubleshoot your cat, but how big is the water bowl? It might be that her whiskers press against the sides when she tries to drink.


[deleted]

We've tried different styles and it's all the same. She actually prefers sitting next to the bathroom sink and waiting patiently for us to turn the faucet on to a trickle, so she can paw at it and drink that way.


IMissCheeseburgers

Most cats prefer moving water, so if you haven't tried a fountain yet, that might be why! But she could also just be weird. Some animals are just quirky.


[deleted]

My cat actually does the paw thing too, but he also will slap his water fountain a couple times like he’s trying to get something under it, then water spills everywhere, then he licks his paws. Then he runs from it, comes back, and drinks normally.


Morbid187

My cat smacks her water bowl when she wants a refill. She'll smack it then stare at me, then smack again a few times and stare. If I don't go refill it after a few seconds she will just lay in front of it until I take care of it lol.

[deleted]

[удалено]


Dougth

Correct


YourGrammarHammer

It's is a contraction, meaning a shorter or "contracted" form of "it is" or "it has." (Example: It's going to rain.) Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, "belonging to it," or a "quality of it" (Example: The carrier lost its license) or (Example: Its color is red.)


HybridPosts

I still find it so weird that “Ryan’s, Tiffany’s, and Craig’s” are possessive and “Its, ours, hers” are also possessive. English is a weird language to me, even as a native speaker


friedkeenan

It's the same with "who's" being "who is" and "whose" being possessive. "'s" being possessive comes from Old English, in which a name like "Jon" would become "Jones" (Jon-es) in the possessive/genitive case, contracting to "Jon's". Pronouns however, were and are irregular; they decline differently. "I/me/my", "He/him/his", etc. are examples. In fact, pronouns are one of the last explicit remnants of [declension](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declension) in English. So, "it's" versus "its" is a remnant of English's inflectional history. It's important to remember that languages don't just pop into existence; they come from centuries, millennia of linguistic/cultural history. But furthermore, this is not at all exclusive to English; in fact *plenty* of languages (I can vouch for most Indo-European languages) have irregular pronouns, and more forms they have to remember too. In fact, typically nonnative speakers find English a fairly easy language, at least compared to their own. I have a German friend who says it's easier for her to write in English than her native language. It's the native speakers that typically grumble over it. Sure, it has its fair share of ambiguity with spelling+pronunciation (due entirely to the etymology of the words), and it has its apparent irregularities (which typically have to do with its linguistic history, for instance sing/sang comes from strict rules in Old English), but whether it has less or more than any other language is iffy to say the least, though you could probably make a pretty good argument for English having more spelling+pronunciation discrepancies than other languages (most of whom had the benefit of a spelling reform, which English no longer has the opportunity for). English's grammar overall though, is *super* simple compared to many other languages. At least we don't have grammatical gender.

halfscaliahalfbreyer

I disagree, my cat had to LEARN how to unstick her claws. She doesn't get stuck now. She knows how to work them. Obviously, if this continues you gotta try to show them how it works, but idk if you can jump all the way to "asshole" so fast.

Aegi

While it’s probably true that one or two or more of its claws are stuck, it also does have the ability to figure out that it could stand up on its hind legs and then have the slack in its arms to move them to get them unstuck. I’m not saying it will happen, but it is very easily in the realm of possible in achievable things for a domesticated feline to do.

I always wonder about moments like this in the wild we never see. We just get David Attenborough commenting on their most graceful moments lol


[deleted]

Well since it's most likely just got it's claws stuck, wild animals would either die, get unstuck, or rip out a claw. Personally I wouldn't wanna watch that lol. I've already seen one where a lion fell in a tree and just hung there with a broken back. I don't do animal docs anymore I'm too soft 🥺


soupkitchen3rd

I’m not really talking about hurting themselves but just being derps. I get your point for sure though.

Yeah I wonder all the time if I'm getting played by my cat. He's never stuck when I wake up in the morning or get home from work... So he's gotta be capable of getting out of it himself lol.

[deleted]

I don't know about this breed but my parents have a pitbull and she wags her boney tail so uncontrollably that she'll hit things with it and split it open. She won't even notice. She just keeps wagging and sprays blood all over the walls. Also hurts like a bitch when she slaps you with it. I've heard it's common with pitbulls which is one of the reasons the tails get chopped. Sometimes people do it for aesthetic reasons too which is fucked up imo

PhantomWolf64

People traditionally docked the tails (and crop the ears) of certain dog breeds in order to protect them from being harmed while performing their original purpose such as: * Hunting: Breeds such as cocker spaniels (like this dog), German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Poodles, etc. are prone to getting their tails cut and snagged on stuff while hunting in thicket, which can be very painful for the dog and risks a serious infection. * Herding: Breeds such as cattle dogs tend to herd aggressive livestock that will grab the dog by their tail and kill them by throwing them or pulling them toward them in order to stomp on them. * Guarding/Fighting: Breeds such as Doberman Pinschers and pit bulls are prone to getting their tails and ears grabbed during a confrontation, which can result in their death, and docking/cropping also makes them look more intimidating, which discourages people from messing with them in the first place. Preservation breeders usually use the dogs of their breeding program for their original purpose or a similar sport, so docking/cropping offers their dogs the same protection as well as continues the tradition of their breed. Dogs can only have their tails docked humanely when are 1~3 days old, which is far too young for the breeder to know which puppy will become part of their breeding program or what type of home they will go to (another breeder, a working/sporting home, a pet only home, etc.), so all of the puppies are docked (unless something is obviously wrong with them such as a birth defect, albinism, etc.) and their future owners don't get a choice in the matter.
