    Clearly not whacking them hard enough…

  2. amanda titus says:

    this is not like whack a mole dude.cats are like dogs to some people. beloved emensely.you can not do things like this and think that those people are probably not your worst enemy when it comes to things like these,cause they love there cats enough that they would wanna put up the whack a person bit right after seeing this from you.i am not into the dogs cause i am one of those some people.the people that like dogs;if you put this up with the dogs getting whacked would make you get tons of hate mail, this is the same way with those of us that love our cats.sorry this is not good dude.

  3. Pat says:

    not funny!!!

    • Niki says:

      Absolutely right. Do not like this a bit. Think it inappropriate.

      • BlackSoulDriver says:

        Really people…if you watch the actual video on utube, the creator says that the whacker object is soft foam wrapped in tape and he’s ever-so-gently touching them on the head with it. The kittens are not being harmed. If you’re really worried about cat abuse, go volunteer at the Human Society and see what true abuse is.

  4. amanda titus says:

    looked like that whacker was a little too rough looking.even if you where not hitting them at all or where only lightly tapping them the whacker is where you would get into trouble every time as it looks like it could hurt them.the whole ideal is something that would get people pissed but the whacker was like the last straw cause it doesnt look like something from nerf that would have been there if its the normal game.that thing looks dangerous to those sweet baby kittens.

  5. Rehab says:

    Oh NOes! NO Wack da kittehs!

    (Calls SPCA…)

  6. DeathbyManga says:

    Very cute! I rememberz seeing dis on Utube. No kittehs harmed in the making, everything wuz gentle. Dey also had free willz 2 come & go as they pleased. So no worries – itz certified Happy Cat material! =D

  7. gina says:

    dis is not funneh, shood b kitteh’s wackin hoomins!

    • tampakittie says:

      The original video shows the kittehs are fine. They were handled in a gentle, playful manner. Kittens wack each other harder than that!

    • RainbowMaus says:

      There was no meanness done to the kitteh, but if it makes you feel any better, my kitteh likes to whack me when I walk by. He sometimes whacks me on the head from the back of the couch, which is pretty funny to me.

      • Wee says:

        :)
        Mine whacks us in the face in the morning to check if we’re still alive.

        • JustJenn says:

          My kitty nips on my eyelids and earlobes every morning. He was abandoned, and walk through out cat door in September and never left. He is very possessive of me, ans it’s very important to hime that I wake up when he says so!

    • CarrieVS says:

      My old cat, who my parents had from before I was born, used to whack my brother and me on the head when we annoyed her too much.

  8. nobodeenoes says:

    Just absolutey stupid. Hang your head in shame, Uploader.

  9. Sarge says:

    Old meme is old.

  10. Karen Mermel says:

    Encourages “WACKOS”. Please remove.

  11. D-R says:

    How about Snorgle a Kitteh, instead? Is much betterer. :D

  12. Anne says:

    LOL!!! Love it!

  13. vjs says:

    kitteth knot toys!

  14. Oojamaflip says:

    Nothing wrong with this as such. Who hasn’t gently bopped their cat on the head when it pops up out of a box?

    My only ‘fear’ is that some of the more, shall we say, “intellectually challenged” people who view it might take to doing it ‘for real’.

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      If they are going to do it, they would not be on ICHC, and they would not need a video to inspire them. Evil peeps are evil, this is just cute and fun.

      • Salvet86 says:

        I have to agree with you. I’d say mean people get their ideas from the crazy kill-everything-that-moves videogames and movies, not the the cute-kitties-playing kind of video.

  15. aurora8471 says:

    My friend actually did this video….no kitties were harmed in the making of this vid, she was actually using it to help her find the extra kittens homes. All of the kittens found good homes :)

    People can be so sensitive!

  16. Agony Annie says:

    Oh no! How could anyone in their right mind ever even conceive of pretending to this to sweet little kittens?!?! I mean, its perfectly alright pretending doing it to nasty, ugly moles, who cares about them? All they do is ruin your lawn and make huge gutters that you can trip in, fall over, and hit your head on the brick patio, believe me, it’s happened to me more than once! Don’t whack dear little pussycats with sticks like that, you must pat them softly, give them kisses on their little pink nose, and rub them softly between the ears, that’s what make a pussycat purr!

    • Me says:

      Why do you hate moles? What about when your cat walks across your path and you are running to somewhere and you try not to step on it and fall and hit your head on the corner of the wall? Cats are adorable, of course, but don’t hate moles.

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      Cheez, lady! How can you defend the kittehs and condemn the moles? Moles are so ugly they are cute! As for digging up your yard, yes, they do it to mine, too. Because, that is what moles do, and with diminishing habitat, they need a place to do it!

      Watch where you put your feet and you will be fine! They do NOT eat your flower bulbs, etc.; they eat bugs and grubs that DAMAGE your flowers.; they are eco-friendly little souls and eliminate the need for pesticides. Thank them, don’t hate them.

      Hitting your head on the brick patio has happened to you more than once? Snerk!

  17. devinJ says:

    This is hilarious. Those thinking otherwise need to have a sense of humor transplant…

  18. Bwandee says:

    Here is the original video for reference, for anyone who has not seen it, since it has not already been put in here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_udqEp_YR4 Apparently it was even featured on CNN. :)

    • sierraseven says:

      Sew cyoot!!! An kittehs nawt beein’ whakked – juss beein’ paated awn hedds wif rownd fing. An teh “Whack-a-Kitteh 2″ iz eben bedder! Kittehs plaez whack-a-kitteh wif eech udder, noe hoominz needid!

      Peeplez dat sae dis iz crool iz stoopidz. Iz cyoot an funneh an kittehz haz fun.

  19. karlkat says:

    I’m sure it was originally meant as harmless, but with all the horrors being inflicted on kitties by truly evil people, this is not only not funny but really creepy.

  20. Dey See Me Trollin', Dey Hatin' says:

    Seriously? Harmin’ the kittens? Looks like they havin’ fun to me.

  21. Spotstarsmom says:

    I don’t think this gif was the best choice. It may be that the kittens weren’t whacked hard but it just doesn’t look very good to be whacking any animal with a stick. If it was kids being whacked with a stick people would be freaking out.

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      He he he! I used to play “kiddy bowling” with my grandsons when they were 3 and 5. They would run across the yard, and I would throw my huge exersize ball at them. If they fell down when it hit them, I won. If they stayed upright, they won. They loved it!

  22. Jack Deth says:

    • MariaWB says:

      Jack approves of this gif. Your arguments of cruelty are invalid.

      • Cholius says:

        Absulutly. If Jack approves, I approve. I have kittens and I have seen the Utube vid, it is harmless. As soon as I saw this I knew there would be trolls-a-plenty.

        Oh where are my manners? Ohai Jack!

  23. murf says:

    Yeah, very clearly the kittehs are barely being touched. Chill, peeps.

  24. I can’t believe how many people are like “OM-geez!!1! Dis is total siri-os! Dun hittin the kitten, u will giv dem brian damgez!”

    Geez, how many of you have taken care of a litter of kittens before? I’ve seen kittens fall off couches with no apparent harm done. You’re likely to cause them more distress by pointing a laser just out of their reach.

  25. Supertuscan says:

    Why did this idiot waste time making this contraption?
    How often do they intend to use it?
    No way to know if this traumatizes the kittens or not, the question is,
    why do it in the first place?

  26. Brumby says:

    Love it. Whack em and whack em hard. Use a BIG stick !

  27. cparker says:

    You people have no sense of humor!! They were not hitting the kitties hard or harming them. Get a life!!

  28. Spotstarsmom says:

    I have been watching the threads on this picture from the beginning. It is obvious that they are not hitting the kittens hard but as the gif goes along it speeds up and looks more like they are getting hit harder. The whole point being that it’s just sort of disturbing looking, at least to me it is. If it was a feather wand or something like that it would be different, the fact that it looks like a big mean stick that could ‘possibly’ be harmful is what makes this so disturbing to me and not really funny. Like I said, just my opinion.

  29. smudgiesmama says:

    Ai agreez- de ‘riginul wuz funneh aand fur a good cuz, butt(!) the speededed up verzion maded it luk meene, and incuraggid contryvversy.

  30. Lisa says:

    While I see the humor in it, There are sickos out here that would think it’s a good idea.. I’m in the Portland/Vancouver area and unfortunately there has been many acts of animal cruelty this past year. One incident involved 3 young boys,ages 5,4 & 8. A neighbor tried to stop them and had to call the police. The oldest boy was torturing the cat with a knife. it did not survive.We have teenagers that ride around shooting cats from their vehicles; people/person that gets off by skinning cats alive, then putting them in their yards for the cats family to see. We have had be-headings (of dogs also),and last ,but not least–animals thrown from moving vehicles into fast traffic. So you see now why so many people are very touchy and humorless about “Whack A Cat”?

    • Idia says:

      Yes, but they’re saying the person who made it is a horrible person. Which is obviously not true.

      I don’t think animal haters would be here in particular, so it’s pretty useless to go off on it, but on youtube this would be a more acceptable response. One that sees humor and problems.
      To say that the uploader is horrible is ridiculous, or the maker of the original video or the Cheezburger staff.
      To say that it might encourage animal cruelty is an acceptable response to the right audience.

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      A neighbor could not stop 3 very young children from torturing a cat? SRSLY? Was he in a coma?

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      I live in Portland, too. We have people driving around shooting PEOPLE, but they are probably not inspired by ICHC!

    • sunnyhuckle says:

      Um, Lisa? Since I live in PDX and never heard of these stories, I decided to Google the news…

      Google news search, “portland, oregon, children, cat, torture”…results:

      Your search – portland, oregon, children, cat, torture – did not match any documents.

      Your search – vancouver, washington, children, cat, torture – did not match any documents.

      Your search – vancouver, washington, cat skinned alive – did not match any documents.

      Your search – portland, oregon, cat skinned alive – did not match any documents.

      portland, oregon, dog, beheaded, did not match any documents…

      Your search – vancouver, washington, cat, torture – did not match any documents.

      etc, etc, etc.

      Do you happen to have links to these stories? Just wondering why I never heard about this…

    • Lisa says:

      Go to : search.katu.com , then type “cat mutilations” in the search box. you can refine it by county,State,News reporter,neighborhood,etc.

      • sunnyhuckle says:

        My apologies, Lisa; when I am wrong I admit it. I followed the news to the shelter where the cats were taken, but was disturbed to get this message:

        My computer crashed before I could close out the site. Things that make you go, “hmmm…”

  31. Rosie says:

    Well put Lisa. We have enough problems all over the world with animal cruelty. Posting “whack a kitty” isn’t funny or entertaining and only encourages sicko’s. Doesn’t matter if it was “gentle” as people put it, the act of hitting an animal then posting it online just shows poor judgement and immaturity. This isn’t the first time that borderline cruelty/trauma images of animals have been put on lolcats in the name of entertainment.

  32. Marya says:

    God save me and all the little kitties. . .
    from Care Trolls

  33. sunnyhuckle says:

    Nawt habbing thumbs, teh kittehs cud nawt hold teh stik win tehy played “wak-a-hooman…”

  34. Salvet86 says:

    I’d say this video encourages NICE behavior for people. I’m not american so I don’t know the original game so well, but I think that the whack-a-mole implies wacking the moles hard, right? And here the kitties are being gently “wacked”, showing that there is no need for violence and we could all enjoy a good joke without any violence or animal cruelty in it. Couldn’t it be the sort of “treat your animals well” thing? Like the game has to be changed so the kitties aren’t hurt or scared? And that’s the only kind of game that can be played with kitties, the harmless kind, with no animal cruelty. Just my opinion. I’m open to different opinions, but without trolling, please.

  35. CJL_forever says:

    Seriously, this video is just a bit of harmless fun. It’s obvious that the kittehs are barley being touched. My cat fell off sofas, walked/ran into doors, walls, flowerpots, tables, chairs and god know how many other things when she was a dinky kitten, and it caused her no harm what-so-ever. She is perfectly healthy and always has been. Same human kids. Kids run into things and hurt themselves. It’s what kids do! And it’s the same with baby animals. My sisters cat did the same as my Cleo when he was a kitten. Granted, he’s totally message up and moronic, but he was like that when she first got him as a bubby, and it is not a result of running into walls. If anything, running into walls is the result of him being a f**king reject.
    I love cats, and I hate cruelty to animals, but people need to get a life and look at the REAL cruelty. Not sillyness. I used to do a similar thing to Cleo, only I’d push down GENTLY on her head is she was trying to climb on the sofa, or scratching it. Or attacking my leg. Kittens heads are NOT THAT SOFT! They can take being stroked on the head and scratched on the head, but they can’t cope with a soft, gentle, little PUSH or TAP?! Isn’t a tap on the head how most people actually train their cat to not, scratch or piss on furniture?! Also, to those who made comments about not doing this to a baby, again, IT’S GENTLE! It probably feels like a stoke to them! And you stoke a baby’s head to sooth them and stuff don’t you?! Please, learn to notice the difference between cruelty and playing.
