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!

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!

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.
