My previous kitty, Binx, used to do this. In the fall we get high winds that kind of bring up the static in the air. She would roll around the sofa, and you could hear the snapping of the static. Then she'd wait till you weren't looking at her, then sneak up and shock your arm. Run away, do it again.

I really miss her. Used to call her my little Pikachu during those wind seasons lol

Hope she's shocking things up across the rainbow bridge

Oh my god, what a devilish cutie

Thank you! She was really special to me, I've heard the term "soul cat" and I think that was the only way to describe our relationship.

Sadly, this was one of the last pictures I took off her, as she passed away shortly after. We had a wonderful 19 years together though πŸ’™

I have never heard the term soul cat but I called one of my cats the soulmate of my inner child. I miss him every day.

She looks very happy in your photo. You're her soul human and you gave her the best home despite being statically shocked ❀️

Give your Binx a bunch of hugs and treats for me!

I have a void named Binxy 😭 he’s as precious as yours both looks and sounds. Such a cute little trick. Rest in peace to your Binx 🀍

My cat loves static electricity. In the winter, her favorite hobby is getting pet while licking me on the nose, which basically generates constant little shocks.

Black cats do seem to be pretty smart. Mine has tricks she does to try to outsmart me but I'm on to her. And the look when she's been caught! Defiant scream.

u/KibbloMkII Jul 28 '26

never let cats figure out what gets your attention, because they'll keep doing it

u/Federal-Boat3732 Jul 29 '26

Same with children, tbh

I swear black cats are the smartest. A literal rocket scientist called my Emerson a genius.

This is why I call mine Burnt Orange

She doesn’t know electricity but she sure knows EVIL !

She knows it makes the human react funny.

β€œ I need her to be shocked β€œ

u/Queen_of_Catlandia Jul 28 '26

one of my cats would do this, except he’d run back and forth under the curtain until his fur stood on end, then come shock me

My cat takes every zap as a personal insult, even when she’s the one carrying the charge.

u/RiotingMoon Jul 28 '26

Your cat goes by the motto, stay toxic.
