Threatening stares, explosive kicks, powerful punches, Hiroyuki has captured it all.

How the hell he took this pic, was cat flying 4-5 meters high, or we just rolling on ground waiting for cat to jump.
"And everyone was cat-fu fighting! Their paws were fast as lightning!"
Another candidate for photoshopping - maybe a mic and some lights and backing dancers...
Bottom cat: "Morris said he would meet me here for my first flying lesson. I wonder where he got to?"
Street cat fighters have to be ready at all times. So practice, practice, practice.
this made my day, thanks, really..... this is the kind of silly things that make me love BP
Disclaimer - no kitties were harmed in the taking of these photos! Stunning pictures.
Perhaps not physically, but would you enjoy being chucked about for the entertainment of others?...
why are you assuming the were 'chucked about'?
I've had a cat who loved to be underhand tossed up into the recliner. She'd run up to the top, jump off and come back for me to do it again. It was the funniest thing ever and she was particularly more playful than any other cat we'd ever had. This was pre-everyone owned a smart phone days. If you look around, you'll find a few videos of pets who like to be underhand tossed onto chairs or beds. These cats do not have panic induced stress on their faces...they look quite accostumed to it and nope, i don't have a problem with it...but the first cat i see walking around protesting their treatment...i'll be all over that and ready to catnap. Er...defend.
What REALLY gets me about these is the absolute calm on most of their faces. It really shows how cats are in their element when playing in this way.
They're concentrating on landing on their feet because he threw them.
That's what I'm thinking. I'm also thinking I don't like the idea!
Surely not, they´ve been playing or fighting with some other cat, have you ever watched a cat trying to catch a toy mouse/ball or a butterfly??? Something like that´s what these cats´ve been doing!!!
