Who goes there?

Today, I heard the sound of footsteps in the basement. Thinking it was burglars I grabbed a baseball bat and hurried down the stairs. I then tripped on the stairs, fell down them and smacked my head on the bat. The sound of footsteps I heard? It was my cat playing in some cardboard boxes. FML

You should know that if you have a f**king cat, that's what they do.

Hahaha!! That's totally something I'd do! But, I think this is fake. Most adults don't just happen to own baseball bat, unless it's for their kids, nonetheless keep the bat somewhere they'd have quick access to. Even if it'd been kept for self-defense, a bat isn't necessarily a defense weapon of choice :P Also, cats' paws are designed to be silent. I learned this from Animal Planet. They have lots of padding and walk on their toes, which makes them walk quietly. I own a cat, and I can barely hear her stepping unless she's running or going up/down my creaky stairs. There is no way a cat's footstep would make enough noise for you to hear it, especially not from the basement.

not true about the bat thing. my dad has had a metal bat sitting by the door for self defense; my mom- a table leg. you can use ideally anything for it, as long as you can hit hard and grip onto it.

Yeah, but most people wouldn't use those for self defense weapons. Burglars would have guns or knives, which a bat would be almost defenseless against.

yeah but if they're pouncing on cardboard boxes it's bound to make some noise

*after rereading* I guess the part about hearing the cat COULD happen if the cat was patting(smacking) the cardboard box with her front paws. That might sound like human footsteps.

my dog does it all the time. Granted it's the welcome carpet and she's a husky.

In a infamous state of panic i grabbed my baseball bat saw the anti christ cat swung lost my balence and fell down the stairs.... The cat laughed and ate my soul and shoe laces... FML. Good man for taking action but leave being a vigilante to batman. Unless your American in which case give a whack on the noodle have a cuppa and wait for animal control. Cats are truly devious and cunning and this one appears to have literally beat you down. Peace out x

wow, the almost exact same thing happened to me. I came home from work yesterday, and I heard a loud noise upstairs, so I grabbed a sword that was hanging off my wall and went room to room, ready to chop someones head off. turns out it was just my roommates crappy little dog knocking something over, and I slipped in a pile of dog shit on the floor. I think almost everyone has a similar story... fyl
