This video shows a kitten whose attempt at surprising his friend goes terribly wrong. Fail. Pwned. And all those other Web-centric shouts of derision.

If there is one thing the Internet has taught us it’s that people love watching videos of cats being, well, cats. And sometimes they get up to frankly human antics.

Here we see a small kitten preparing to launch a surprise attack on his victim. He springs out and then realizes his victim has already moved on. But where? He’s behind you!

The backflip the kitty does when he gets shocked is worth watching again and again. And the comedy value of this video is aided by the addition of some cheesy cartoon music over the top.
