Everybody needs a pet
I've watched this several times, and it makes me laugh every time. I think they picked the wrong animal to advertise.
Our total sweetheart neutered male, Lucky, got out so my husband went into the neighbors yard to get him. He was so sweet and calm when hubby picked him up and was talking to him, but he "overpetted" him and Lucky turned into a tasmanian devil and scratched my husband! Apparently cats have a neurological sensitivity greater than ours where, they like being petted but they can be overstimulated and then will scratch or bite even though they had been purring right before they freak out! I still like my cats, though! They don't poop on the rug like my rotten dogs!
I love that video. I've seen it many times, on TV and online, and still find it funny every time I see it.
The first rule of owning a cat is that when the cat wants to go or the cat wants to be left alone, YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE!
And cats let you know when they've had enough. They scratch, bite, hiss, growl, flick their tails, or attempt to escape. That's feline feedback for, "That's enough, thanks." and silly humans better listen before it goes from that to having fine feline fangs embedded in your biceps or claws caught in your private parts.
And I say that with all the authority of someone who owns (and loves) a cat so grouchy we named her Malice.
Honestly, my family has been able to train two cats out of owning eight to operate normally on a harness. Note I said "harness" and not "leash". A cat on a leash is a surefire way to get a hung pet - as the Clinton's almost found with Socks.
All that said, the person in the video was a bleeding moron, and deserved every hole he got... and hopefully really was bleeding by the end of it.

I wonder if anyone took Pinky
What a dumbass, everyone knows the first rule of cats is that if they want to go, let them go.
Pinky, what a lame name for a cool cat.
I think that big boy cat is angry that they named him Pinky.
I am so not a pet person, but that guy was a moron.
Dumbass wes petting that cat like you would pet a dog. He better be thnakful that cat did not bite him about six inches higher up!

I never get tired of that.
Cat's do not like leashes, and Pinky made his point clear! LOL!
I had water up through my nose watching - thanks Bob!
Put a cat on a leash. . now THAT was the first bad idea.
I spilled coffee I was laughing so hard. Thanks Bob, I needed that.
