These Kitties Have An Adorable Way Of Going Down The Stairs
Cats have a talent for turning ordinary moments into something oddly mesmerizing, and Ricky is a perfect example. This plush orange-and-white tabby does not simply walk down the stairs, he melts down them with full confidence.
In a TikTok clip shared by his mom, Rachel, Ricky headbutts the bottom of the railing, flops onto his side, and slides his way downward like gravity is just a suggestion. The result is equal parts adorable, funny, and deeply cat-like, which is probably why so many people could not look away.
Ricky’s stair routine is the kind of thing that makes the internet fall in love all over again. Read on.
Ricky’s innovative way of going down the stairs has captivated the TikTok crowd.
Watch him go:
People just couldn’t resist him, and the clip has garnered more than 1.4 million likes and 84K shares. Let’s be honest, it is well deserved.
He also received many comments, more than 18K. Some of the best were:
“Cats are just self-contained liquid.”
and
“Why does this look like it feels amazing?”
One person couldn’t help quipping:
“He just rickrolled.”
That comment section had the right energy.
Cats are liquid
Ricky is not the only cat that has mastered the art of flowing down the stairs. Meet Posey, whose Instagram account rolyposey has garnered more than 15K followers!
The vets say that when cats are flopping down the stairs or rolling on the floor, they are communicating with us. It’s a cat’s way of showing that we have gained their trust and that they’re feeling comfortable.
And that’s about the greatest compliment you can receive from a cat. She’s feeling friendly right now and maybe just having a bit of fun.
And if she’s sliding downstairs, well, who doesn’t remember going down the slide as a kid? That’s always fun, after all.
It doesn’t get any better.
Ricky’s “liquid” descent also matches the chaos of 10 cats who defied all rules with impossible flexibility.
That explanation fits the vibe perfectly.
But it's safe to assume that cats have been slipping down the stairs for as long as there have been steps.
And that's the way they like it
Their way is much easier
This little kitten will be flowing down the stairs in no time.
Ricky is undoubtedly one charming cat, and he is very fortunate to have a loving mom. Cats are very much like people in some regards, once we stop worrying about basic survival, we can devote time to having fun.
That’s a reason why most advances in the arts and amusement occurred during periods of peace when security was high and food was plentiful.
Ricky has turned a staircase into a performance.
