both those cats died by the way.

 

charlie and spike are two kittens with myotonia congenital, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound or movement, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal.If a pin drops they drop too. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal.

 

Sad to report that the black and white kitten (spike) died on 27th october from respiratory failure. thanks for all the kind messages. comments enabled once again as duplicate videos are appearing. this is the original

 

Sunday 31/10 - I'm devastated to report that Charlie (tabby cat ) died in my arms last night. we are in a state of shock and disbelief at this. During the short time we had them, both Charlie and Spike touched our lives in a way that we never expected. We had a plan for treatment with drugs, approved by the Royal Veterinary College at Potters Bar, but there was a worry that any side effects might be fatal while the boys were so small. We were due to start on monday. I had prepared a second film which I have now posted to youtube dedicated to their memory. thanks again for all the kind comments you have posted. Ed & Becky x

 

1/11 update:

a duplicate video appeared on youtube, with gun shot sounds synced to Charlie's falls. I though this was OK initially, but given that Charlie has subsequently died, I requested youtube remove it, and they have done so. The RVC were not impressed by it at all.

 

Quote taken from original video release before someone edited it to put in the lasers. Sorry bud i doubt you knew, but i personally don't find that funny.

That is sad !

there is a human condition very similar, where by shock and excitement sent people to sleep. cant remember the name of the damn thing. but happens in dogs too.

same as in that movie mall cop !

is it like that guy in the film rat race?? he just falls asleep anywhere anytime. even stood up. lol

 

might be, its that rare i cant find the damn name of it on google......

 

There was a program about it on discovery not long ago. started off showing dogs doing it. then showed some idiot scaring the living crap out of his girlfriend so she went to sleep on the sofa. while him and his mates stood around her laughing there arse off.

someone should edit it with lazers or something :P

being the owner of 4 cats i found the video funny although the story behind it is a totally different matter.

 

they were very beautiful kittens and its a real shame that they have died.

Poor little guys, i watched this just before i went to work the other day and it made me really sad :(

 

RIP Charlie & Spike

You serious !

The original video was edited to have lasers shot at the cats at the time they spasmed and fell over. admittedly its funny the first time you watch until you realise that the two cats in the video that people are taking the piss out off died. the owner was trying to make people aware of the disorder her cats where suffering. not for some little scroat to edit it and add the lasers and be the subject of amusement.

 

When jaikai first put the thread up, the title was different and it was showing the video of the one with the lasers in it.

 

Personally me and jaikai both believe that it would be disrespectful to keep the original content. so instead he changed it for the original.
