THE LIVING ROOM – Cats are natural swatters. If a butterfly happens to flutter in front of a cat, you’d better believe it’s getting swatted. Same goes for anything else that enters the swatting radius, whether it’s a bird, a golf ball, a mouse or a pile of laundry.
My cousin’s cat was the swattiest of them all. Named Bobcat, he would lurk under the family’s couches and beds for hours, waiting for the perfect moment to attack unsuspecting feet. You’d be sitting on the couch, enjoying a movie, and then you’d suddenly feel a burst of pain. Looking down, you’d see bloody scratches on your ankle and an ominous paw rearing back for another swat.
I couldn’t help but think of Bobcat when I saw this little video:
Wow! That cat has perfect form. Patiently waiting for the ideal moment, it hit the drone at the optimal angle and with the optimal amount of power to send it careening to the floor.
There are few things in this world more annoying than the whine of a drone, so I can’t really blame the cat for taking action. Many other animals and people might’ve done the same. But the ferocity and precision of the action make the cat look like a modern-day King Kong, perched high in the air, taking vengeance on one of the pesky planes buzzing around.
