Whenever I see this photo it makes me smile. The reaction from the woman in back just makes it so good

Where is this cat jumping from? The counter? The woman in the back? The ceiling? And, where does this cat think its going? The camera was clearly out and in position before the jump (throw?!?). The only scenario that's vaguely plausible to me is that the woman in the back was holding the cat for a picture, and then it somehow got free/jumped, pushing her back behind the plant but still clearing the tulips. @[email protected] , do you have any more info about this?

I have no clue! That's part of what makes this photo so great! The mystique! The choas! The floof!

I actually remember the original post waaaaaay back!

The lady is throwing the cat onto a bed, and people were accusing her of being mean to the cat, so she posted a video of her tossing the cat, and the cat is running right back to her with a swishy tail. At one point she stops and ignores the cat, who proceeds to meow and put paws up on her leg, begging for more.

Hahaha, that's great! And it explains why the cat looks like it knows what it's doing.
