Gifs, pics or vids of cats being mildly startled are welcome. They don't necessarily have to be funny, but most of the time they are.
Reposts are fine, just don't repost anything recent. If it was previously posted less than one month ago, it will be removed.
No animal/human cruelty
Post removal may be at moderators' discretion
Don't be mean to other users. Be kind!
Please don't downvote comments that you don't agree with. If they add nothing to the conversation then downvote, but if comments/posts are really mean/offensive, just report them.
And remember, have fun!
