My cat used to act the same way, including sitting backward on his behind. Now he’s just too fat to stand like that, but it’s more common than you’d think.

Rocky is a beuatiful boy, but not so unusual. I had a kitty, Teddy Bear, who was a manx. Had him 19 years – lovely, loving little guy. He always sat on his bottom, like a person. I’m pretty sure he thought he was human. He loved people and any of the other cats we brought home were always welcome. I miss that sweet guy to this day – he’s been gone two years now. God bless you, my Teddy. I’ll see you in heaven.

If your cat is panting, they IMMEDIATELY need to cool off. Google “Cat panting” and see for yourself – it’s never a good sign.

Damn, I wish we could have gotten them all together to hang out. That’d be a hell of a picture.

Try a Maine Coon Cat. Big and furry and very friendly and people oriented.

Any cat can do this, but most choose not to. They just generally don’t need to.

I trained a cat to do this before getting a treat. It wasn’t difficult.

i have taught two cats two stand and walk on their hind legs with organic vanilla creamtop yogurt (yes, both seriously preferred vanilla). i say “taught” because i first thought it was only something they would do with encouragement until i saw one do it ‘in the wild’ after a few sessions in the kitchen. that said, they never take more than about five steps, and lose patience quickly if you are teasing them about how short they are.

Sort of related: Does anybody else remember an old video on America’s Funniest Home Videos that had a cat standing on it’s hind legs swiping at the family dog whenever it walked by? That cat was fantastic, and looked like a little boxer, standing on it’s hind legs with it’s front paws out, ready to swing at the dog. I loved that video so much and was hoping I’d be able to find it with the new resurgence of standing cat videos, but so far no luck.

And yes, I do feel kind of guilty about enjoying a clip from AFV so much.

Sorry to focus away from the magnificence that is ” Le Chat Debout,’ but a Grand Theft Auto poster over the TV? Really?

Gutierrez answered the one question the Aude Baron didn’t: The music that was being used. Thanks, Gutierrez! I guess it’s from Cowboy Bebop which is why it sounded familiar to me.

One of our cats does this all the time. For her it’s less of a “can’t see over [item]” thing than “OMGWTF I HEARD NOISE?!” reaction. Like Standing Cat, she can hold the pose for just about near forever. We’ve been calling it “meerkatting” in honor of the ever-aware and curious meerkats.

I wasn’t impressed, my cat can do that, too. It’s a little weird when he does, but I’ve seen him do it multiple times.

I think I once saw this cat trying to board a tram in Moscow, the conductor kicked him out despite the cat offering to pay its fare.

There’s a sad little part of me that wants to buy that cat some boots.

My cat does this on occasion as well, and she will also sit on her butt like a person. She also enjoys watching TV and video games. She is a really weird cat. I used to have another one who would try to stick his tongue in my ear, nose, or eye while I was sleeping. That is really not a good way to wake up.

After reading the summary I watched the video and didn’t see him raise his “leg”. My mind saw him raise his “arm”. My mind and Standing Cat are messing with me.

This cat needs to have LOTS of kittens. Bipedal cats are the future!

That means your cat has asthma if it pants like a dog.
