How CLEVER that was! You know you are an inspiration for us? Simple and efficient techniques and ideas! Great Job!!!

Sometimes nice, sometimes evil. So just a normal cat, then.

So THAT's why it looks why it did :p That's actually pretty clever. I wonder if it's possible to refine it even more. Not saying that you should do it, but there was a kind of jerkyness to it that's... interesting and other-worldly, but also I wonder if it can be smoother. Still, that's pretty clever :o

I bet if you include your cat in the next video you'll get 100mil+ internet points.

Yah, I was pretty wide-eyed through much of that. Damn. That sure was a lot of work, and a nice, clever solution. Kudos.

Thanks! I enjoy watching behind-the-scenes stuff of other creators' work too. The cat's name is Sonya. Sometimes she's nice... and sometimes she's evil.

That was very cool! As someone who has never done anything with video, I really love this sort of behind the scenes, how-you-did-it stuff. I watched the original and didn't really think about it, but now I have much more appreciation of the amount of work and care that went into creating it. Also, cute cat.

That mickey head was the stuff of nightmares, and now I know how to recreate it at home. Thx cap.
Very cool!

Wow, that is a really cool effect - I was trying to figure it out myself. Definitely works for a twitchy, creepy character.
Captain Disillusion
Yep! It's like the satisfaction one gets from solving puzzles. Slightly addictive.
Bizzaro.
I think the reason I like video editing is the same reason I make props or do magic. It's a problem solving creation thing. "I want to do this... now how do I do that?"
Charlie Ross
I think that may be the most casual way any person said "I guess I could have just severed the head." Very cool way to get the effect!
