Japanese Cats

Want to make use of your cat that lazes around all day doing nothing?
How about using it as a mop to dust down your flooring?

The cat's so calm and collected *_*
If I tried that with my sister's cat, he'd hiss at me all day ;___;

Ok, I tried with mine tonight, just rolled over and ran away.
Looking at me like "what the hell is that supposed to mean? I was sleeping!".
Cats are funny.

Cool and collected hell...that cat was NOT digging being used as a mop. Anyone who's pwn3d by a kitteh would know that low throaty yowling and the flicking tail means "We are not amused."

Yep, had a cat like this. But instead she liked to be spun around whilst laying down.

Because cats are so much easier to wash afterwards than regular mops... ^^;;

If I did that to my cat, he would scratch my eyes out. At least this owner is taking advantage of his cat's laziness.. :3

Hahaha, this looks like something my brother would do (mind that he loves both our cats to bits). I'm sure if it hurt the cat, or really bothered it, he would get up and walk away, or hiss and fight back, so this doesn't get the animal lover in me all fired up. The bewildered look on the cat's face makes it super funny, if anything 8D
That kitty has a funny meow! I've never heard a "mrrrowr" quite like that before, the tone makes it sounds almost like he's saying "yeah, whatever" and such. Or maybe it merely sounds odd to me, 'cause my cats have very high-pitched meows.

Thats cool , looks like My cat but that Neko is even more lazier than My cat .

I;m pretty sure it's only that cat, cats usually like to play around with the exception of the giant fat ones that can't really move. This one seems pretty thin and fit.
???Confused???
That's one lazy neko...but pretty efficient and low maintenance...

Seems someone need to watch Roomba and Cats.
Also, if food is served punctually everyday, why does one need to engage into heavy activities?
Anyway, I dislike these. =/

Way to make use of a lazy cat, your cat gets active in a sense and your floors somewhat cleaner, that's two birds with one cat (stone).

Fff! I love how the cat is wagging his tail at one point... and looking rather bored despite the man-handling.

Man, if only my lazy Neko sat on the floor, I could do this. Alas, she only sits on a chair when she's not eating...
And I hope that guy's ready to be attacked, 'cause that neko's dang peeved about what he's doing. It tried to attack him during the first bit of the video, but decided not to.

Oh wow I wish my roomates cat was like that, it's the same kind, a Tabby and if I ever did that to him I'd have him latched on to me biting, scratching, and kicking. Well given he's still a kitten, I hope he mellows out like this cat when he's older lol.

You can do that with my cat, she doesn't care ^^; I never do it to that extreme or on purpose though, just when she's caught on my clothes and can't get off or something, then it happens naturally while we try to free ourselves ^^;;
She would never let you put a newspaper on her though, she would just flip it off and leave ^^;

LOL! That's hilarious. Well, I do sometimes use my dog as a pillow, so. . .yeah.
By the way, I recognize the piece they're playing in the beginning. It's from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, the last movement, "The Great Gate at Kiev." I think it may even be the same recording I have.

The most . . . laziest cat in the world? O_O
If I was a cat, I'd go out and have fun, lay in the sun, chase female kittens, hunt rats for the humans and lay on top of the TV :3
And of course, boxes, love to curl in one. :3~
Garfeild has now been dethroned!
Do you want that cat to be active lively and wild?
Serve him some food and tease him while you're at it that will turn the cat lively.

Oh heck yeah...American TV could NOT get away with something like that. There would be a loud hue and cry of outrage. I mean yeah, kitteh was not enjoying this, but I don't think this constitutes kitteh abuse. And cats like their revenge served cold. Neko-kun WILL get even.

On some level it's very cruel and he will eventually hurt or kill the cat. But then it's lunch time!

Hm. What can I say?
It is thanks to the cat that it is possible to do such a thing. Maybe he went there on a good time where he was warm and wanted to be moved :p

Comprehensive for an old cat. My cat is still young and crazy, if you pet him for more than 1 sec he bites you right away, It's crazy! you can't even play with him, he don't try to be mean, he's like that. We love Tobis and he loves... to bite us ^^;
So I don't think my cat is the mop one type. He's more of the savage type.
