Those cats are me! Especially the fluffy one that keeps on getting back on, and sliding off, and getting back on, and sliding off, and going away, then coming back and thinking, "I will try just one more time," and getting on, and sliding off.
The thing about living with two cats is the way their personality contrasts emerge, so one looks for it in clips like this -- I love the way the little one keeps on truckin' in a sort of earnest, determined, neurotic way while the hyperactive fluffy-tailed tortoiseshell show-pony leaps on backwards, pirouettes, scrabbles, gets fed up comes back gallops for a bit ooh look a mousie gosh is that the time already?

Those cats are more game than my puss would be.
I can't believe how persistent they are!!
That's SO funny I cackled loudly in a most unbecoming way.
I have got to get me a cat back in my life

LMAO, LOL!! I couldn't believe they just kept plugging, and very much appreciated the laugh

Loved it and loved the "parents" laughing hysterically in the background.

I have tears in my eyes, I laughed so hard. Thanks!
