Watch What This Cat Does Right Before a Sneak Attack-It's Too Good
Cats are known for being stealthy, but this gray Cat named Milton adds a little extra flair before going in for the attack on his brother, an orange cat named Arnold. Right before pouncing, this sneaky kitty does something that completely gives away what he's about to do, and once you see it, you'll probably watch the video again.
Milton does a little wiggle before every pounce, something we're pretty sure Arnold has learned to watch for so he can get out of the way. Their mom shared a series of clips showing Milton doing it every single time, and the song she paired with it makes it even funnier.

We laughed when Milton's mom joked in the caption, "This wasn't in the adoption description..." We're sure his cute pre-pounce-wiggle wouldn't have stopped her from bringing him home!
Viewers left hundreds of comments about Milton's signature move, and some of them cracked us up. @Andrew Bagot got more than 23,000 likes when he pointed out, "I love that he's trying to hide behind things, but he's f*cking enormous LOL!" Milton's parent jokingly replied, "Watch it, buddy, I've blocked people for saying less. He's full-figured."
@Marie said what the orange cat was probably thinking, "He knows I can see him, right?"

Why Cats "Wiggle" Before They Pounce
Commenter @J joked, "Just over there revving up his engine, lol!" @Ayumi added, "Oh he shaking it real good!"
That little pre-pounce wiggle isn't just for our entertainment, there's actually a good reason some cats do it. Wiggling before a jump helps them position their bodies and build momentum before launching, according toPetMD.
As they explain, "When cats walk, they alternate moving their hind legs to propel themselves forward from point A to point B. But when cats jump or pounce to capture prey, they push off the ground with both hind legs at the same time to give the movement more power, speed, and distance."
Without that added stability and balance, they could miss their prize, or even risk injury. Whatever the reason, we're not complaining… because it's just too cute to watch!
