Cat Owner Fakes His Death To See How His Kitty Would React, Doesn’t Expect Reaction Like This

ADVERTISEMENT

From the very first day a pet arrives at our house, it becomes a part of the family, one more new member that we unconditionally love. The same, of course, happened with a cat named Sparta – a 10-year-old Bengal mix who was adopted in the summer of 2007.

Sparta might seem like an unusual cat – he likes wrestling, playing fetch, stalking and being held like a baby. Since he loves cuddling so much, his owner once asked himself a question: “What would my cat do if I suddenly died?” To find this out, he decided to fake his death in front of Sparta and see how would he react. Luckily, he got all this on video, so we can witness this priceless moment too. Scroll down to see it for yourself!

What do you think ?

I think Sparta could probably sense that you were okay and was just wondering why you were behaving that way. Cats can sense other people's heartbeats, so say you heart had actually stopped, Sparta's reaction would be very different. She can feel your heartbeat through her paws on the floor, and the rhythm your breaths make, she can smell 'life' and not 'death'. And I think a cat's hearing sense are also stronger compared to a human's so she can hear your heartbeats. She heard you make a noise before falling so she came to check it out and saw nothing was wrong, probably thought that you're sleeping on the floor for a change and was wondering why.

I wrote that comment before I finished watching the video. So since she noticed nothing was wrong, she just decided 'f**k it' and laid down with you. But the best part was in the end when she looked up at you when you asked 'really dude?'. And I love her cute little meows, reminds me of my own two cats. Just to let you know, this was the video that earned you one more subscriber on Youtube!

Haha I agree, cats can sense those things, almost certainly Sparta didn't think he was dead. He came and saw he was perfectly healthy, and decided to join him for a chill nap on the floor (which I think is pretty cute)

Okay I just realized Sparta is a boy, I'm so sorry for assuming his gender.

Yes and that’s why she layed down on the floor. She probably thought ‘it’s naptime aye? Let me join you.’

I don't think he was wondering anything. He just went with it.

Agree. Our cats would know we were OK. I just got over a really nasty bout of bronchitis and our cats would not leave me alone for a minute. They all slept by my side for days. I still have one in my face as I type - more so than usual :)

Yes, cats have exceptional hearing compared to us. One time I was wondering what had my cat's attention. She was fixated staring at a piece of paper on the floor in front of me. Finally I had to see what it was and when I lifted the paper, a spider ran from under it. She heard the spider moving! I knew Sparta wouldn't be taken in by her owner's 'death'. I instead expected her to climb on his back and ake herself comfortable. Really charming cute kitty!

I think he DID get worried because he even meowed , he came close to you, he snuggled... And he laid to...Wait for you.

Nah, Sparta is a savage, he was literally just doing that to mock him and his untimely demise, as someone who has followed him since mean kitty went viral, I can honestly say, this feline is a thug. 😂

He actually was extremely worried for most of the video until he probably realized you were breathing and was just like, "haha very funny... Now rub ma belly!"

Ummmm, I may be wrong here but I think animals can sense when a person is dead. Playing dead means nothing to them as long as they can still sense that you are alive. This experiment would have made more sense if somehow you made your heart stop beating for a while and stopped breathing. Then we would see how he would react. Otherwise now you just confused the poor kitty, who decided to just join you and play dead too :)

Cats are obligate carnivores. Believe me they can tell when a mammal is dead.

Your comment cracked me up. "Make your heart stop beating for awhile..." Hmmmm now THAT would have been a great trick! Maybe he should work on that one ;)
