Cats are nature’s perfect predators, with finely balanced bodies and a keen innate sense of distance and angles that lets them perform feats of astonishing agility and power and make it seem easy.

But things like this still happen.

Major LOL for reals, y’all. It’s not just that Miss Kittums didn’t make it, it’s that she was not even close. I am thinking the owner of this cat needs to take his cat in for an alignment or something.

Seriously though, I have seen many cats do this sort of thing in life. It seems those instincts do not guarantee success, just make it possible. After all, we have instincts too, and yet walking still takes us a bit of time to master when we are little. And we still trip now and then. Nobody’s perfect.

But somehow, it’s just funnier when it’s a cat. They are normally so sleek and agile and toned and casual about their ninja powers that, as long as it’s clear the cat is not hurt, things like this are hilarious.

I picture the cat looking around to see if anyone saw that, then looking at the camera and the smirking human, and doing the feline equivalent of “D’oh!”.
