Cat-Bounce.com is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their bouncy cats wedged into our browsers, or why.

Please make a version that works on touch devices where the kitty chases your finger.

Aw yeah! There's a mobile version that works with a touch screen!!!

(Now, I will patiently wait until someone with a cat uploads a video of their cat playing with Cat-Bounce on their iPad.)

I mean, the kitty follows your finger but just sort of flips around. I guess that is cool but I want him to chase it desktop neko style.

Awesome. But I only get one cat on my mobile? Sad!

This is actually what my dorky cat looks like when she's excited.

Their tops is made out of rubber! Their bottoms is made out of springs!

I wish I could shake the mobile version. C'mon Apple, why isn't there an app for bouncing kitties?

Please note it never rains just "cats", it always rains "cats and dogs".... I was disappointed....

It's a kitty-cat version of Falling George, which has been around (obvs) for quite a while.

If you grab them and throw them way up, it takes them a while to fall back down.

getting them all off-screen at the same time is my new obsession.

Earlier today, when I linked Cats that look like pin-up girls one of my friends remarked "now I've seen everything."


THE INTERNET WILL MAKE MORE EVERYTHING, JULIE. BEHOLD THE BOUNCY CATS.

So, I thought..."heck, I could do this with real cats!". So I brought all four cats into the little office here, closed the door, showed them the screen and said "do that!". They all looked at me like I was a fool. So I started throwing them up in the air... and, they went up OK, but really didn't bounce much.

I was baffled, there must be away to do this.

Then I sent the dog in.

Of course, I could be making real cats bounce with nothing but a plastic stick with a feather on it, but this is fun too.



Real cats - not impressed.

When they bounce high enough you get cats in space!!!

I never thought the first tag I would ever add to someone else's post would be "makeitrain", but here we are.

1. Take a number of cats into a bedroom and close the door.

2. Turn a fan on high. Two fans at cross-angles are even better.

3. Blow bubbles. LOTS of bubbles.

Ta-da! You have just created Cat Bounce Live!

My 7 year-old thinks this is the greatest thing she's ever seen on the internet.

I feel like the cats' vertical position needs to track the rapidly dropping stock price of failing companies about to be delisted.

Oh, dear. I don't think hovercats find this at all funny. Looks like they're on their way to put a stop to things...
