This shows how amazingly fast a cat's reflexes are. He's not beating time, he's reacting to every beat so fast, it looks as though he and the metronome are in time.
OMG the cat twitching in time with the metronome is so funny!!! I have a young male cat who is like that and over reacts to sounds sometimes. I love the other cat that is so chill with that thing. :)
That thing was definitely drilling the poor cat's ears, but at same time was obviously mesmerizing. I was really glad when he finally slayed _the ticking beast_.
I don't think it's really hurting his ears, it's probably rather that cats don't understand rhythms and don't discern patterns very well, ie, each click comes as shocking surprise.
I rarely laugh when I'm alone at room, but this is... I don't know... Epic... Incredible... Beautiful. The funniest clip on youtube, I can't say anything else.
So funny! Hysterical how Snooky's tail is nervously drumming to the beat. Cats are so amusing and they all have such different personalities. Snooky's pal isn't fazed at all.
My cat used to twitch due to sounds like that as well. It got worse as she aged until she got to the point that sudden loud noises would cause her to have grand mal seizures (we ended up having to disconnect the doorbell). The vet said that he's seen other cats whose twitching resulted in idiopathic epilepsy, so keep an eye on your ginger kitty as it gets older. Having said that, mine lived til 18 so I don't think it shortened her life at all :o)
