A hilarious video of a cat spacing out has captured hearts on Instagram. The black-and-white cat named Bicket seems to be in an existential crisis, leaving the internet howling in her antics. Bicket stiffly perches on a couch, her bright green eyes gazing in one direction. As her laser-focused eyes focus without blinking or flinching, the cat appears to be re-living another lifetime — probably one of a war.
Cat looks like she is having ‘war flashbacks’ while spacing out in funny video
Instagram user and Bicket’s owner @mibicket shared the cat’s spacing video, writing “she has seen things.” The layover caption provided the context, “she always spaces out like she’s having war flashbacks.” Channeling her dramatic energy, the cat exudes the “main character” vibe starring in her movie trailer. As Bicket sits on the couch, appearing to be having a mental spiral, compelling her owner to record the show.
Witnessing as Bicket hilariously zones out, the human companion films the cat, asking “You having war flashbacks?” However, Bicket seems too lost to pay attention to her human’s question. Continuing to lose herself in another dimension, the cat does not break the streak of the alleged “war flashbacks.” The video then features a helicopter effect, adding to the cinematic experience.
In an instant, Bicket becomes the hero of a war drama with the help of expertly timed sound effects. When Bicket’s owner fails to capture the kitten’s attention, she gently snaps a finger at her. The owner says, “Back to reality, baby,” following the instruction with a head pat.
Though Bicket temporarily breaks the daze, she looks at the owner’s finger for a fleeting moment before withdrawing back into her trance. Sound editing of gunshots follow the amusing moment while Bicket sits with her haunted expression.
The video shows Bicket, the spacing out cat, with her upright posture and paws tucked beneath her. This gives the viewers an opportunity to jest, “She just won’t talk about it,” adding, “She’s been to a place and time you would never understand.” Whether Bicket is contemplating food or war flashbacks, she surely united the internet in laughter.
