Smart phones. Computers. Flat screen TV. The internet. Few people can live without them, and those that can are generally branded weird, anti-social, or subversive. "But how has the feline world responded to the emergence of the modern technological revolution?" I hear you cry! Well, with a great deal of confusion it seems.

The proof can be found in this revealing before and after series compiled by Bored Panda. As you can see from these pictures, cats have no idea what to believe anymore. Is a mouse an animal or a computer accessory? Is a ball of yarn actually a tangled bunch of cables? Is a radiator the same as a laptop adaptor? Are those birds on TV real? Modern technology might be useful to humans but it's turning cats into psychological wrecks. Just take a look below to see what we mean.

    My cat still goes outside and hunts mice. She brings them into my room, fully alive, and then puts them down on the ground so she an chase them around and prey on them. I found a dead one in my laundry basket, and once found a dead one in the bottom of the washing machine after doing a load of laundry. It was "squeaky clean". Hah. you get it?

    It's a reflex, it's them practicing a kill bite. They do it when they can't get to the prey

    My cat plays that bug smashing game on my phone. Will wear the battery from 100% to 12% in a few hours. She knows how to restart the games, but usually a single game lasts ten minutes.

    In civilazed countries it is illegal to declaw cats. The U.S.A. doesn't do much for the animals in general. If people can't put up with cat than don't get one and take a stuff toy instead. How selfish can one get. Spoiled little USA brats! brats!!!
