Scaredy cats: Mother cat panics her litter of kittens in jump fail [video]
Metro [UK] ^ | 1 Feb 2014

A mummy cat had some serious making up to do after accidentally giving her litter of kittens such a fright that it caused them to scarper in all directions.

The adorable group of eight felines almost jumped out of their fur when their mother, attempting to spring up onto a window sill, fell back down.

The kittens scattered at surprising speed – underneath a chest of drawers and a bed – as they’re shocked by the commotion.

The video was uploaded on YouTube under the title ‘Epic fall’ and has already garnered over 160,000 hits.

Fast as lightning...man, I love cats. They’re such natural athletes...and the two I have are my little panthers...perfect little fighting and killing machines. I’m so glad I’m bigger than they are!

What a great new word.

I first saw it reading "Oliver Twist".

And it IS a cool word.

I like British slang too. I believe that the word “scarper” originated in rhyming slang: “Scapa Flow” (the main British naval base in both World Wars) for “go”.

If I am wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me.

I didn’t see your post until I had made mine. If that word is in “Oliver Twist”, then what I said about its origin is probably wrong, since the base at Scapa Flow was not established until just before WWI, well after “Oliver Twist” was written. Time to go find my OED.

Awww, poor little babies. Momma looks a little confused as well. I wish the video had continued
on as the kittens got over their fright, and at least Momma didn’t fall on any of them.

Thank you for the ping, Guapo.

they were saying “where’s the milk” and she was saying “geesh, give me a break”, and knowing they were irritating her, by how she was trying to avoid them, when she fell they all said “look out, now she’s after us”
