Cats are programmed to freak the fuck out at the slightest noise. Especially if it is loud, unfamiliar, and sudden. Which this most certainly is.
Still, this cat should be ashamed that even after hearing the sound of Super Mario jump three or four times, it’s still scared enough to leap backwards into the air.
The irony here is that by jumping at the sound of Mario, the cat starts to resemble Nintendo’s mascot. It’s almost as if that sound effect is synonymous with jumping.
If these guys didn’t rename the cat Mario after this incident then there’s something wrong with the world.
