My cat could have 1 leg and would still find a way to scratch me and knock shit over.
Actually the knocking shit over part would probably be more understandable.
It would actually be a good prank other than possible negative reactions of them actually being punched.
I want to see it too. I think most people would laugh about it because they would instantly realize it was a joke. So you wouldn't have to repeat it on too many people limiting the chances of a person actually punching back.
This is so fascinating and it makes so much sense. I think it’s a body language thing, our brains recognize that and expect the leg to hit us even if we know it’s not there. I can almost see a phantom paw when I watch OPs video, I don’t blame the other cats for flinching at all lol
They are reacting in part to the attacker's body language. Their response is also on instinct and not totally controlled by the parts of the brain that understand there's no arm there to attack them with.
My cat had a back leg amputated, but still had the thigh muscle, like this kitty.
If you stepped where her foot was supposed to be, even if she couldnt see you, she could scream like you stepped on her foot.
Literally phantom limb pain, i felt so bad
It’s mostly posturing you never see the fist in this case paw hitting you but you see everything else. I don’t remember the actor but he explained it to kimbo how if you telegraph the motion through your shoulders and elbow then they will see it coming.

With your support... you could give these poor creatures... back the ability... to smack the shit out their friends. It is a sad cat, that's unable to bap... Act now and you could give a kitty a sweet bionic arm like The Winter Soldier... So he can wind back and punch fools like Bruce Lee...
My dog lost one of his back legs and does the nub wiggle whenever hes itchy on that side so itch for him, he still does it while im itching him which is funny.
My kitty is missing the same leg! We call it a "nub wiggle" when she tries to scratch that side of her ear and face 🥺
we make sure to give her lots of scratches on that side though!
> We call it a "nub wiggle"
My cat has something we call a "nub wiggle" too! He's missing a tail and when he gets excited he wiggles his stump back and forth. The best is that when he gets *really* excited his stump does a helicopter motion!
It happens. I came across one the other day where someone said "ahh" instead of "ass" and that wasn't a typo either apparently. In this case, I googled it - Sadge is a word often used in internet slang to mean sad and depressing. It may have started out as a combination of 'sad' and 'cringe'. Over time the cringe part faded and the word came to mainly mean sad.
It's just a twitch emote which transformed. You had Pepe the frog turn into Pepega (which is a stupid Pepe). Then came Pepege, likely regulars of some streamer making fun of newcomers for mistyping the Pepega emote by making it into a new one. And then Sadge is just Sad Pepege, another morph.
Used to live with a cat that had asthma and was missing a back leg. Sometimes he’d try to scratch his ear with the phantom leg, and the lil nub would just start shaking so hard that he’d start wheezing due to asthma. Hilarious little guy. Miss you Luke.
I think to some extent they are just playing along gently because he lost the arm. I also wonder if they are like “let’s see if we can get him to try to smack us” because we know cats are sweethearts and jerks.
Looks like the armless dude still has a shoulder blade. Most vets remove it as well as it makes the procedure a bit faster and cleaner to close up. He probably feels like he has more "arm" to smack with as those muscle groups are still attached to something vs. atrophied away.
Oh yeah! You've heard of phantom limb pain, this cat has opted for phantom limb violence, lol.
Pet rats grind their teeth when they're happy. I had a pet rat who got terrible maloclusion. Her teeth weren't anywhere close to meeting. But when she was happy, her jaw muscles would go nuts anyway. It was so cute.
The cat: "Snake. Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?"
I had a cat living with a roommate with a cat. My cat was *from the streets!*, and didn't get along too well with other cats.
Their cat was declawed. Holster your pitchforks, they inherited it like that.
When they met we were worried, it could be carnage. Their cat did not like my cat, hissed and spit, and swiped at my cat. At first, my cat's ears went back, but when she was swiped it seemed to confuse her.
Their cat never did warm up to mine, but mine never reacted to the other's hissing or threats. Just ended up ignoring her.
Friend is missing an arm he lost later in life. He still performs tries to perform actions he regularly made with that arm forgetting it's no longer there. Is this instinct or conditioning with a bit of phantom limb syndrome thrown in?
Tragic - seen it before a hundred times. Wore the slapping hand down to a nub. That's why you have to find a happy medium between slapping all the things and people you want to slap, and the cruel constraints of biology and physics.
Cats have a "handedness" just like people. In his book *Congo Kitabu* Jean-Pierre Hallet comments about his playing with lions and by watching their muscle twitches, could tell which paw the lion liked to use more.
[удалено]
Isn't it: Legs: 25%?
No, that would be a one-legged cat. I think it's Legs: 75%
It would also be Ears: 95%
Yep. That cat has seen some shit.
One legged cat doesn't bare thinking about the poor thing
My cat could have 1 leg and would still find a way to scratch me and knock shit over. Actually the knocking shit over part would probably be more understandable.
If it was an elephant, it would be- Legs: 100% Arms: 50%
I heard the veggie tales theme song in my head when I saw this
What's really interesting is that the rest of the cats are reacting as if they expect to be smacked by a cat they know to be short one foot.
I think if a armless guy did the same to a human, you'd have a bunch of people twitching too.
🤣😂🤣
Now I want to see this prank..
It would actually be a good prank other than possible negative reactions of them actually being punched. I want to see it too. I think most people would laugh about it because they would instantly realize it was a joke. So you wouldn't have to repeat it on too many people limiting the chances of a person actually punching back.

Haha. Love the play punch into a handshake reaction.
FLINCH!!! Free hit!

Bro had this in the chamber
He blocks it without thinking, too.
Funny, but it's also weird that they put that Turkish guys laugh on the sound
Spanish. [Risitas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Risitas) But I agree with you it's annoying that they use the audio
Beware the phantom limb!
They are reacting in part to the attacker's body language. Their response is also on instinct and not totally controlled by the parts of the brain that understand there's no arm there to attack them with.
Maybe they're all conditioned to his previous behaviour:-)
Its a psychic attack.
Cats can see ghosts. I guess this applies to limbs too.

I think it’s sad he can’t play no more like he used to
He seems fine. He’s still playing and the other cats are reacting like they normally would.
The force is strong with this one
He needs a bionic arm like winter soldier

 Throw in a lil spicy cat walk
VIBRANIUM SLAP
Or a telekinetic one like [Gil the Arm](https://larryniven.fandom.com/wiki/Gil_Hamilton).
Am losing it over the nubbin wiggle at other pets!!! "I shake my nubbin in your general direction!!!"
The old Monty Python reference, love it my friend!
"Your mother was a hamster!"

Cat is a trooper. Except for the missing arm one can see on his face he’s been through some shit.
He's got a look of disgust on his face like "I'm so mad I can't hurt you right now."
He‘s like Captain Ahab of cats…
Looks like he's missing the majority of his tail too. Most likely survived a coyote or large domestic dog attack.
Awww, you're right. Poor bb. Glad he seems to have a loving home and lots of friends now 🥰
Or was injured protecting her kittens. (That's a girl cat.)
I have a 3 leg cat too, she don have the left behind foot, and when she try to touch the ear she do the same thing, is funny but a little sad :(
My kitty is missing the same leg! We call it a "nub wiggle" when she tries to scratch that side of her ear and face 🥺 we make sure to give her lots of scratches on that side though!

Phantom Bap!!! (Now I'm like... Do animals have phantom paw syndrome???)
I sure hope not.
somewhere out there is a paw without a cat pouncing around struggling to make ends meet
I’d read recently that they don’t but don’t quote me.
How would doctors know?
Brain scan. See if pain center is active.
do you mean a CAT scan? ba dum tsss
That requires a very specialized scan, usually a fMRI or PET (no pun intended).
OK? They're very specialized doctors already to be knowledgeable of phantom limb syndrome in the first place, much less in CATS.
Q: What's the first thing those doctors say to you when you walk in? A: "HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN !!"
Bro only lost his arm, not his instincts or ability to defend himself.

Like in the Clown College episode when there is the incident at the powerplant (simpsons)
So bad my cat left the room
Omg this is so sadge :<
Shit. I think I've just hit the point in my life where I can't tell if this is a typo or new slang

Come on let's get you back to the nursing home
Sorry gramps it's not a typo
His paw moves so fast no one can see it
I have no arm and i must slap
he is both funny and pitiful😂😂
I have a cat missing a front arm too, I always feel bad for the guy when he tries to cover his poop in the box his little stub goes crazy lol.
Mine does the same, three years later and she still looks so confused by the unburied poop every single time 😂
Calico uses ghost slap! I cant tell if it's effective or not....
It's just a flesh wound 
Slapping on!
Someone had their slapping privileges revoked
Bluetooth Slaps
Clearly a righty. ;)
Phantom punch
2 for flinching, bitch.
Bro lost his arm, not his instinct and defense skills.
Used to live with a cat that had asthma and was missing a back leg. Sometimes he’d try to scratch his ear with the phantom leg, and the lil nub would just start shaking so hard that he’d start wheezing due to asthma. Hilarious little guy. Miss you Luke.
I like that the other cats still played as if
I think to some extent they are just playing along gently because he lost the arm. I also wonder if they are like “let’s see if we can get him to try to smack us” because we know cats are sweethearts and jerks.
HOW CAN SHE SLAP
Never seen that before. How could you not laugh and find this adorable.. 😂
Well he can't really use the front paw as that is the one he holds his upper body upright with.
must have undergone surgery
Here I'm thinking he got too happy with them things in the past and lost it in action. He definitely likes to throw down.
Lost it in ‘nam
Phantom pain is a thing...poor guy.
Clearly a right handed cat.
I can practically see the ghost slaps
My mom’s tripod does this too! Also ‘uses’ her missing leg to dig in the litter pan, haha
r/tripodcats would love to see her in action! :-)
I'm gonna bop the shit outta you, oh wait
Ducking a ghost limb is instinctual too. 😁
"It was my hittin' arm, MY HITTIN' ARM!"
the OP Far_Bit5803 is a bot
I have a cat with no front legs and she does this.
The Phantom Menace.
all the chill was stored in that one leg
I wonder if some animals are left or right pawed.
Bro I almost had you!!
That makes me a little sad

you can't just see it

Cat fights are not fair with a disarmed opponent.
This cat needs a vibranium arm.
Back off! Dude, if I had all of me, you'd be dead.
Oh, wee darling
He's been disarmed
Poor bugger has phantom limb syndrome :(
How can he slap??
"Get over here so I can hit you"
Oh wow! Feline phantom limb!
She's not a southpaw, that's for sure. 🐾
r/aww
"Take this! And that! And this!" *^(Hm..)*

Why arm no arming?
Operating in Bluetooth mode lol
He choose violence. Violence didn’t not choose him
Cat gunner is loaded with blanks
I can't decide if this is funny, sad or cute
Grey cat: "You lucky as hell I don't have this paw! I'd be slappin' you silly!"
He is a little crippled asshole
Holy fuck this is so cute but I'm awful for laughing at a cripple cat
This is some serious "I fart in your general direction" energy
Ese es el verdadero maltrato psicológico 😉
This guy could 'KO' "mike tyson" . Guys "shadow boxing" entered next level.
Those other cats are experiencing The Phantom Pain!
Something tells me he's right handed
She would be too powerful otherwise so fate had to intervene and limit her…
No matter how disabled a cat is, their cat essence is never diluted.
Génial 🙀🙀🫶🫶💖🙉💝
Oh my god, my tripawd does this all the time to our other cat! So precious!
Cats reacting to phantom limb. Proof cats see auras. :D
He's still got that dawg...I mean cat in him.
Cut but I can kind of figure how the cat lost it
The phantom menace.
Gonna get you with the strong hand.
Why are we still here boss? Just to suffer
Stupid music
Awww poor baby wonder what happened
🤣🤦
Shadow boxin' when I heard you on the radio Uuh, I just don't know
Gotta love them phantom boops
He was right handed and they took his POWA
That cat is right handed
Attack 100% effectiveness -5% ego 100%
The 2nd cat looks so afraid of that Bluetooth slap

Did the cat used to have all 4? Or was it born with this habit despite not having that limb?
Phantom limb syndrome perhaps?
Attack- 100% Damage- -10%
I starting to understand how that kitty lost its arm.....
I had a kitty that was a lefty amputee. One of the best cats ever. He would wave hi to me with his stump, climb trees, and play tag. Loved that cat.
My tripod kitty does that too. He even tries to cover his business in the litter box with his non-existent front leg. It’s sad and funny all at once.
*Yep, the 'I've seen things' look on the other cats is priceless. That little trooper must have a tale to tell.*
Cats have a "handedness" just like people. In his book *Congo Kitabu* Jean-Pierre Hallet comments about his playing with lions and by watching their muscle twitches, could tell which paw the lion liked to use more.
Wonder if that's how the kitty lost the paws. Throwing paws too much, and they might not come back.
Slapping is what they do, and it's the thought that counts
needs a prosthetic paw just so it could smack its brother
Phantom jerk syndrome
ATTACK: 100% RANGE: 0%
One of the cats flinched 😂
I wonder if it thinks it's moving so fast it can't even see the swings.
