Is the twist that a giant plastic snake didn't shoot out of the hole? Because that's what I was expecting. posted by iamkimiam at 11:01 AM on August 28, 2011 [2 favorites]
First, that cat does not want all lids to be closed; that cat wants control of that lid. This is a less global and more all-encompassing desired than you had led us to believe.
Second, I thought the cat was sitting on a paper shredder, and I had a horrified anticipation of what the "twist" was. I am glad to see that I was wrong. posted by GenjiandProust at 11:35 AM on August 28, 2011 [12 favorites]

The twist is the cat is genuinely self aware. Check out the look he gives the cameraman at the end, he is like "good,now leave it closed, I told you I didn't want you messing with my humidifier, you know how my sinuses get" posted by Ad hominem at 11:45 AM on August 28, 2011 [20 favorites]
Was smoke coming out of it?
Humidifier/ steam, I believe. posted by yerfatma at 11:46 AM on August 28, 2011
The twist is that, once the lid was closed, the cat OPENED IT OMG posted by The Devil Tesla at 12:41 PM on August 28, 2011 [4 favorites]
NO WAY!
(also, at about that same time, a man in a gorilla suit walks by the camera. It's nuts.) posted by iamkimiam at 12:54 PM on August 28, 2011 [7 favorites]
He who fights with lid-openers must take care lest he thereby become a lid-opener. If you gaze for long into an opened humidifier lid, the open humidifier lid gazes also into you. posted by Ian A.T. at 1:01 PM on August 28, 2011 [20 favorites]
Shiro vs the Chair
That cat looks like a Gremlin. Its name should be Gizmo. posted by Redfield at 1:08 PM on August 28, 2011
Would love to see a battle between that cat and this cat or thiscat. Would all the containers end up open or closed? posted by jocelmeow at 2:01 PM on August 28, 2011 [3 favorites]
'One day, I will have gathered everything I need: the plastic bag, the chlorine-based cleaning products, the length of tube, the mixing flask with rubber stopper. And on that day, I will end you, like this!'
The lid stays SHUT.
The lid stays SHUT.
The lid stays SHUT.
[etc.]
Oh dang, did it die?
Sniff sniff.
Chewy edge. Aha.
Oooh, steeam, cool.

Jocelmeow's posted video of a cat opening lids to get to cat food remind me of this cat I had once who learned how to open doors by turning the knob with her paws. She also repurposed household objects as tools (for example she used to knock down a yardstick that hung on the kitchen wall and swipe it under the fridge to retrieve lost toys). I did not train her to do those things.
I think the only reason cats haven't taken over the world yet is that running the world would cut too much into nap time. posted by BlueJae at 8:28 PM on August 28, 2011 [4 favorites]
It's also because they have not yet figured out how to isolate and destroy all sources of distracting bits of stringys. posted by elizardbits at 9:48 PM on August 28, 2011 [4 favorites]
It the comments it says that it's a "stove" or in non Japanese English... a space heater. posted by sleepytako at 12:37 AM on August 29, 2011

That second one is (very nearly) called Mi-go. It wants all brain cylinders to remain closed. posted by emmtee at 2:09 AM on August 29, 2011
