Thank you to the 1700 people who sent me this today. Annabelle from ICELAND send writes: "...charlie and spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal."
FIRST!!!............. This video is so sad, poor kitties.

this wasn't bred into them you ninny, it's a genetic disease that became dominant in this particular litter of kittens. they are obviously regular domestic short hair, meaning they aren't a breed, meaning no one did this to them, just an unfortunate throw of the genetic dice for these poor little guys.

Ok Ok I now- a little PC here, sorry the kittens died. BUT IMAGINE if they lived! how easy would it be to remind "Tigger" or "Fluffy" to get off the counter, you know the hand raise idle threat- "get down...." *raise hand* in this case it could be "Get down" *IDLE CLAP THREAT!* hehehehe
