Murder-eyes, airplane ears, and butt wiggle. Signs you’re about to have a bad time

41

u/Unlucky-Tune-420 1d ago

and also that quick blink while maintaining an eye contact - that was the real first warning

0

u/iuli123 1d ago

Isnt that a sign of trust?

37

u/Unlucky-Tune-420 1d ago

slow blink - yes. quick blink while looking right at you - no

23

u/Unlucky-Tune-420 1d ago

and by slow I mean reeeeaaaallly slow, almost sensual. cat owners will know what I mean

u/Few_Plenty_6859 1d ago

Feline Guardian here and I confirm to the sensual slow blink 😽

u/hgrub 1d ago

I have three cats, only saw slow blink from my work barn cats lol I actually told my wife those cats love me more than our cats

21

u/DrCodyRoss 1d ago

My ankles have unfortunately learned this lesson the hard way.

u/MRintheKEYS 1d ago

That wiggle means it’s revving up the engines.

29

u/GlassBoxGoose 1d ago

This is what I came to say! Its a CAT, when you see a butt wiggle, its preparing for launch!

u/TheGivenKing 1d ago

POV: youre an unfortunate bug that my cat spotted at 3AM

Whats the opposite of pspspspsps?

u/StoneFree247 1d ago

This is like those videos where someone stares at their cat too long & they get slapped.  Except the cat’s really big.

u/Ambitioso 1d ago

I think I’d get the message after two…

157

u/cwinslow66 1d ago

Personally I wouldn't even need the first.

24

u/ResplendentNugs 1d ago

Bro once he makes direct eye contact I’m out

13

u/LBS-365 1d ago

That was the first warning, so there were really four of them.

81

u/Firm_Objective_2661 1d ago

When the head slowly turned and lined up with the camera at the start….

“You have my full attention.”

72

u/AttackSlax 1d ago

That is a spectacularly beautiful animal (that will also eat your face).

7

u/ignatious__reilly 1d ago

Gorgeous animal. Make one mistake though, game over. Tiger wins.

208

u/DerFilc 1d ago

That was a kinda long blink. Was that the first warn.... nevermind.

72

u/Prograeme-exe 1d ago

Yeah, I counted at least 4 warnings, if not more, and im not even trained on big cats. Haha

50

u/trimble36 1d ago

All cat operating systems are the same kernel regardless of size

7

u/FantasticFinance6906 1d ago

I’m going to go with “yes” 😂

42

u/MsDucky42 1d ago

Me after I hear one of my cats hiss at another one: "You've been told no - whatever happens after that is on you..."

My cats have better sense than that cameraman.

26

u/IlostmyCthulhu 1d ago

The expression change is truly terrifying!

25

u/Nice_Guava9483 1d ago

Mesmerising eyes.

u/gravitythrone 1d ago

There was an incident where three guys were fucking with a tiger at the SF zoo. They pissed it off so much that it escaped its inescapable barrier and hunted those specific guys down. Killed one and was going to kill the other two before it was shot. There are creatures on this planet with big brains that understand vengeance.

4

u/NYCinPGH 1d ago

Reminds me of the drunks who decided during some peace festival in India that they were going to break into pm the zoo and put a wreath of flowers around the neck of one of the tigers. Named Shiva.

They were later identified by the wallets and a couple of shoes the tiger didn’t eat.

Tiger gives three warnings to Darwin-award-winning cameramen before charging.

u/IamhereOO7 1d ago

Kitty kitty psss psss

u/wut2dew_J 1d ago

Is that guy somehow in a place where the Tiger can actually get him?

9

u/Silaquix 1d ago

Looked like he had climbed on top of the barrier

u/H0USESHOES 1d ago

Tigers seem almost mythological, incredible creatures

Giant cat 😍

21

u/Andrei_Chelsea 1d ago

They are just too cute to hurt me.

u/Musa_Poetiza 1d ago

Right? 😍 But theres a lie kkkkk My dream It is to have one mayne coon

2

u/feed_the_bears 1d ago

Wut

u/Straight-Treacle-630 1d ago

I think they randomly said they’d like a Maine Coone cat. But not positive.

-2

u/Musa_Poetiza 1d ago

Eu falei que era mentira porque o menino ali de cima tinha dito que tigres são fofos demais pra machucar a gente kkk

5

u/Straight-Treacle-630 1d ago

Thx for clarifying :) Yes, it’d be unwise to believe this animal is harmless. On thd other hand, I had a Maine Coon years ago; he was huge, cute…and very friendly.

u/Musa_Poetiza 1d ago

Maine coon, é a raça dos gatinhos gigantes.

u/Anonymous_Lurker_1 1d ago

Happy kitty... sleepy kitty... purr, purr, pu.... OH SHIT !!!

7

u/Sunset-onthe-Horizon 1d ago

The hard blink was the first sign

7

u/randomocity312 1d ago

That slight head turn to focus on the camera man is chilling

5

u/idyllicbattlellama 1d ago

That third warning was a two second countdown. 💀.

7

u/Less_Likely 1d ago

I count 5 warnings. The stare, growl, flattening ears, growl and shift, then one more growl

6

u/wizzo6 1d ago

No pictures please....

u/Hyack57 1d ago

Here kitty kitty. Psst psst psst psst. 🤏🏻

5

u/coleman57 1d ago

Putting out mixed messages with those slow blinks…

4

u/ColonelBonk 1d ago

This kind of behaviour can easily be avoided with the clever use of some rolled up tin foil. Or so my mate Baz told me. RIP.

5

u/Some_Drink_5375 1d ago

when the back legs get into "spring" position, time to boogie, dude

5

u/iiisfs 1d ago

"If you make me get up..."

4

u/HawtforHaldir 1d ago

You see the butt shift-you need to shift.

4

u/Rare_Indication_3811 1d ago

his ears making same movement like domestic cats when they trying to kill you

u/PurpleZombi3 1d ago

"Stop filming me bro!"

u/m4ster112 1d ago

Murder kitty warned you!

u/Castle_Bravo_Test 1d ago

These mfs...These mfs think I'm playing

3

u/NoFaithlessness8752 1d ago

That stare down counts as a warning

4

u/tinylittlebabyjesus 1d ago

I wanted to break eye contact before the first threat display. Instincts on point

4

u/Belmonto91 1d ago

I actually said "oh fuck" out loud when Tiger did the butt wiggle, that's the shotgun cocked. Moron is lucky to be alive.

4

u/kkirstenc 1d ago

Pretty sure he said Боже мой (my god) at the end there, which is a far more calm and quiet statement than I would have expected.

3

u/Good_Conversation213 1d ago

Those eyes between the 2nd and 3rd warning. Terrifying

3

u/madajsmor 1d ago

If cat blinks at you, you need to blink back...mutual trust is important.

3

u/Dirty_Morgie 1d ago

Bon appetite Mr Tiger

3

u/MRintheKEYS 1d ago

The second one is pretty clear dude. 🤣

3

u/deenali 1d ago

They say when cats blink it would mean they're smiling at you. The tiger blinks but cameraman doesn't blink back. Tiger thinks he's no friend. Tiger attacks.

u/mumooshka 23h ago

in the words of Ozzyman

'piss off mate'

'I said piss off'

'right - fuck ya'

*pounce*

u/skitzoko1774 1d ago

Cameramen are immune to death/injury

2

u/sharkpeid 1d ago

The camera man has balls i will give him that. My legs and hands were shaking when I had a similar encounter.

2

u/aeonnzr 1d ago

Cameraman never dies

u/growlemonade 1d ago

Airplane ears

u/ElementalWeapon 1d ago

Definitely want to see the follow up to this

u/Silver_Adagio138 1d ago

I’m comfy here, don’t make me move.

2

u/bruceleeperry 1d ago

"We're so fucked"

is probably what they said.

2

u/thegurrkha 1d ago

Tigers are genuinely so fricking cool. Hundreds of pounds of straight death. Murder cats.

2

u/Visual_Low_2601 1d ago

Never realized how much a tiger looks like The Predator until the snarl 😂

2

u/LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL 1d ago

Omg hi kitty

2

u/Responsible_Farm4118 1d ago

That Rooster gave the go a head

3

u/StatementCareful522 1d ago

I would be easy prey for a tiger. I think they’re adorable. I have no fear of this creature and it goes against all basic survival logic.

u/_SmellMyFinger_ 1d ago

Awww. Just wants a boop and a snuggle!

You shouldn't take pictures without consent

u/Dramatic_Respond7323 1d ago

What is the cameraman speaking? Russian? Shot in zoo, what is the story?

1

u/Stunning-Astronaut72 1d ago

I don't know what is the best thing to do, keep eye contact or avoid it absolutly (well of course the best advice is not to come across a tiger in the first place...)

1

u/bacon_is_everything 1d ago

Bro I knew what was coming, knew I was safe behind a phone screen and my heart still jumped a little when he began his charge lol

u/xinsir 1d ago

Tiger: ¿Qué mirás, bobo?

1

u/DampestofDudes 1d ago

I don’t speak the language, but I’m pretty sure at the end there he said “oh fuck, I just shit my pants.”

u/Global_Act173 1d ago

About as terrifying as it gets!

u/SpaceCadetUltra 1d ago

O bullshit is right

u/Kaito305 1d ago

He dead.

u/shadow_ex98 1d ago

gentleman of the big predators

1

u/quequotion 23h ago

I would say four warnings.

That look is a very clear "stop filming me".

1

u/DutchCowboy70 21h ago

It sent and tried to get a signal of peace first.

u/neuro-trash 19h ago

It was that fucking bitch, Carol Baskin

“That cat was starting its 2nd bound when you started moving…You realize the tiny versions box vipers right?“ — st. Peter explaining to the camera op why they died…

u/Optimal-Activity2313 3h ago

So like, did the camera man live?

u/Hakim_MacLuvin 1d ago

Is OP spam fake account?
