Cats getting shot by laser blasters?

well, not really. The original video shows two kittens from the same litter, who appear to have myotonia congenita, a genetic disorder similar to the one that gives fainting goats their name. According to the BBC, this disorder is rare in cats - these two, Spike and Charlie, are the only known cases in the UK, with 12 other cases having been reported worldwide. It is slightly more common in humans, affecting an estimated 1 in 100,000.

I have a feeling this post isn't going to last, but I have to admit, I laughed like hell.

Oh, I wish it were the cruelest video ever posted on the internet to date. We'd have much better things to worry about, then!
I am also a horrible person for laughing.

Yeah.. I started cracking up when the first slow-motion clip (naturally) had a slow-motion laser..
