@@keekatrex I disagree. The can opener routine was so frustrating to me it was the only part I skipped. I might have even cussed. Edit: Funny video though and beautiful cat!
LOL... :) That actually happened here. We had 2 bengal cats male and female and the male cat died. 6 months later their offspring moved in under our porch and refused to go home. Then he started just looking in the porch door, and slowly he started walk inside to the irritation of his mom that would hiss to him if she saw him. But he started going deeper inside a little every day until he came into a room where some furniture and a TV from the home he was born was, this seemed to trigger a memory in him and he sat there stirring at the TV he used to sleep in front of as a kitten. After that he moved in and have not left other then to go out for walks, his mom was not happy in the beginning but soon accepted that now her grown up son lives here. And she also started going out for walks with him and alone also which she refused to do after her male companion died. Now they are good friends :) We spoke with his owners, they had tried to keep him in one day he came home after he moved in with us. And he totally panicked and they had to let him out as he would not stop meowing and wanting out. They said a mini pig they had hated him and used to bite him and bully him and they also had a puppy that would not let him sleep in peace. So he have must come to us to get piece and quiet and stay with his mom :)
That liquid was absorbed into the dry wood of the picnic table. Next person who tries to have lunch there on a sunny day will have their picnic spoiled!😂😂
Everything about this video is hilarious. Using a plastic box as a salt trap to contain the demon so he’ll sit still long enough to be filmed. The smell being so repulsive he just up and runs away. His refusal to acknowledge it as food. Absolute comedy gold.
Poor Buster was so confused, "Huh, it looks like fish but smells like shit." The way he kept running away to find his happy place away from the stench was priceless :)
In fact, that lick it did at 1:29? That's stress. Cats will do that when they feel some kind of stress, it was hilarious that he noped outta there in the following ten seconds lol
not running from it though as you'd expect from a nose waaay more sensitive than a humans -- just smell fermented (off) probably to cat -- not horrific

@@SuperBalders It can certainly serve the same nutritional purpose. Just keep in mind that unlike dwarven bread, surströmming has a directional component: Open the tin in the opposite direction you need your crew to move in.
This video is enjoyable on many levels. The cat is stunning. He sits in a plastic container. He repeatedly walks away from something edible. I could study it for days.

@@duffman18 But I'm sure they must have a quality assurance team on site, which has to open random sample cans on a regular basis, for quality control? 😳they are a food factory after all 😏
@@tubularificationed Actually, I'm swedish but I've never eaten Surströmming, though as I understood is that if you open it in under water it won't smell as bad as it does when open it directly in the air. Some people love the taste of it though :)
You tried to serve it to him and he was like, "I'm just going to pretend like nothing is happening and enjoy the forest.". Buster couldn't even look at it.
How to eat surströmming like a local: As the tin is pressurised, open the surströmming in a basin of water. Wash it, gut it, and wrap it in buttered 'tunnbröd' (a type of sweetened flat bread) with slices of almond potatoes but works with any boiled potato and diced onion. sour cream. chives. that the base. you can put tomatos and any vegetable you want. probably also works with pickled cucumber Accompany with beer, snaps and lots of friends EDIT damn google translate. didn't mean wash it. meant clear it. take out the guts. make an addition to. if you are going to try it for the first time, take a very small piece
As a North German, I like to eat fish, but surströmming, oh dear. A prankster from my group of friends bought a tin of it 18 years ago. We were sitting in a garden shed in winter, already a little drunk, with a stove in the shed to keep us cozy and warm. I'll never forget the smell, one of us threw up in the sink at the bar, I stood outside with another buddy gagging and gasping for air and two buddies stood a few steps away and threw up in the hedge opposite the garden shed. The one who had brought the can got a clothespin for his nose and three bin bags from the host, he had to go back into the garden shed and get rid of the can. Despite an hour of airing out, the smell was still perceptible in the garden shed 🤣🤣
Absolutely hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing😄 Buster is no dummy. There was no way he was going to eat the world's smelliest food! Buster was saying "have you lost your mind, Dad? I'm not eating that stuff!". I bet the whole area started stinking. All those nice flowers probably wilted & died! Thanks so much for, I think, the funniest video you have done so far. It was a real "hoot" ❤
As someone who's tried surströmming, the fish isn't smelly until you take the fish out itself, if you'd open it, it would just smell a tiny bit fishy and you aren't supposed to eat the fish right out of the can, you're supposed to put it on flat bread with creme fraiche and chopped red onion. if anyone wonders how it smells like, it smells like dirty rainwater or the water that comes out of manholes and it tastes the same along with being really salty but if you drink coffee while you eat it, it will remove the smell completely👍 God forbid if you get ANY of the liquid on you, i dropped some on a steel table and it still reeks after 10 days Men det smakar rätt så gott när man gör det rätt!👌
why does something like this exists? do someone really likes the taste? Is it super healthy (like japanese natto) or something? I'm dumbfounded that something that smells and tastes like this keeps being produced
@@MuchachoC One day in ancient history some crazy swede started eating rotten fish and didn't die from it. Probably the same way how rotten beans became a thing in Japan.
Sweden has a harsh climate. There were few options in terms of nourishment in the old days. Fermentation was a good way to preserve food when the long winter came around. Surströmming is supposed to be tasty in terms of flavour, not smell, but I've never tried myself. I can understand Busters natural instinct to not eat rotten fish, though, haha
@@MuchachoC I don't know the history of this dish but stuff like this is usually found out of pure desperation. For example, someone tried curing fish yet it ended up rotting anyways, but since they were starving and had no other food they ate it anyways and didn't die or get sick at all. Maybe for one person it kept on happening to them and they kept eating it which resulted in an acquired taste.
I'm sorry, but this time I laughed louder than you! I wasn't worried about Buster, but I think both of us were worried about you. However, you did prove that nothing comes between Buster and his treats!
Buster's existential crisis- The outside is beautiful & all is in order. Treats are yummy- and seemingy plentiful today!- What is THAT doing on MY plate???
😂 That was the slowest can opening I’ve ever witnessed! I’ve never experienced surströmming (thankfully) but I’ve seen Bizarre Foods and was horrified that people would create such a monstrosity. Buster was not trying to stick around! This was my first time hearing his voice! 😀 Tiny little meow but it made me smile.
@@Maine_Coon_Adventures You were using the can opener the wrong way. You are supposed to turn the crank clockwise. You were trying to turn it counterclockwise.
I'm Norse. When I was a young child we used to go to Sweden on summer vacation. And every time I entered a store I used to pop one can of Surstrømming inside the store, and watched the customers run out. Good times.
Maine Coon cats are said to be the most dog-like of all cats. My Big Mac (Randall P McMurphy) is personable, talkative, and WAY smarter than my other cats. Like a dog, he tends to settle down within a few feet of wherever I am. Best formerly stray cat ever!

if anyone wonders how it smells like, it smells like dirty rainwater or the water that comes out of manholes and it tastes the same along with being really salty but if you drink coffee while you eat it, it will remove the smell completely👍
God forbid if you get ANY of the liquid on you, i dropped some on a steel table and it still reeks after 10 days
Men det smakar rätt så gott när man gör det rätt!👌
why does something like this exists? do someone really likes the taste? Is it super healthy (like japanese natto) or something? I'm dumbfounded that something that smells and tastes like this keeps being produced
So much effort just to make something worse lol.
@@MuchachoC One day in ancient history some crazy swede started eating rotten fish and didn't die from it. Probably the same way how rotten beans became a thing in Japan.
Sweden has a harsh climate. There were few options in terms of nourishment in the old days. Fermentation was a good way to preserve food when the long winter came around. Surströmming is supposed to be tasty in terms of flavour, not smell, but I've never tried myself.
I can understand Busters natural instinct to not eat rotten fish, though, haha
@@MuchachoC I don't know the history of this dish but stuff like this is usually found out of pure desperation. For example, someone tried curing fish yet it ended up rotting anyways, but since they were starving and had no other food they ate it anyways and didn't die or get sick at all. Maybe for one person it kept on happening to them and they kept eating it which resulted in an acquired taste.
I'm sorry, but this time I laughed louder than you! I wasn't worried about Buster, but I think both of us were worried about you. However, you did prove that nothing comes between Buster and his treats!
The look on Buster's face is priceless. He's just like, "Nope! This is not for me! Why are you doing this, hooman? No! Good God, NO!"
He looks like Ron Perlman 😂 around 3:45 is the perfect angle
Buster's existential crisis- The outside is beautiful & all is in order. Treats are yummy- and seemingy plentiful today!- What is THAT doing on MY plate???
Opening a tin can is certainly even more complicated than turning the opener in the wrong direction
Im wondering WTF am i watching here....
At the risk of sounding like the boomer I can, one can certainly spot someone who's never used a can opener before for sure.
Buster wasn’t having it but I could hear the flies salivating 😂
They may have been salivating, but they were NOT landing! They seemed to be on team Buster. 💕🇨🇦
@@lynnjasen9727 I noticed that about the flies too. Says a lot. 🥴🤢
@@silvermainecoons3269Well they love anything rotten.
Lmao, cat is like "hell naw, wtf is this", but the flies are immediately all "OOH, YUMMY!!"
😂 That was the slowest can opening I’ve ever witnessed! I’ve never experienced surströmming (thankfully) but I’ve seen Bizarre Foods and was horrified that people would create such a monstrosity. Buster was not trying to stick around!
This was my first time hearing his voice! 😀 Tiny little meow but it made me smile.
Haha sorry for that, I can't even remember the last time I used a can opener 😅
They all usually have that can tab thing attached to the lid.

You were using the can opener the wrong way.
You are supposed to turn the crank clockwise.
You were trying to turn it counterclockwise.
I'm Norse. When I was a young child we used to go to Sweden on summer vacation. And every time I entered a store I used to pop one can of Surstrømming inside the store, and watched the customers run out. Good times.

That's the freshest can I've seen. No bulging from the pressure. 😊
Yeah, not even the tiniest hiss. I'm kinda disappointed. Usually, those things need to be handled with EOD gear.
He’s so beautiful. Wants nothing to do with that smell. He put himself right in the flowers lol. Such a sweet boy
And Buster runs off .
😹😹😹😹😹
Yes - he even ran away from his Magic Box!😂😂😂❤❤❤
he's so gorgeous, i'm just here for the cat lol
I love how when you try to open the can, Buster just immediately runs away 😂
0:10 The cat followed your finger pointing, like a toddler. Smart cat.
Smart as they are, chimps can't do this.
Maine Coon cats are said to be the most dog-like of all cats. My Big Mac (Randall P McMurphy) is personable, talkative, and WAY smarter than my other cats. Like a dog, he tends to settle down within a few feet of wherever I am. Best formerly stray cat ever!
A very smart car
Ах, какой рыжий красавец! Прямо как лев! Гордый и независимый ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Buster, I am surprised that didn’t make all your whiskers curl! ❤
Buster är en synnerligen klok katt 😂 Så otroligt gullig!! ❤❤❤
What a beautiful, sweet boy!
Buster is like "hum, no....I'll pass. No Lord should ever eat that".
I’m in tears laughing 😂
That look on your cats face is like “dude, seriously?”😂😂😂
Buster is awesome
3:58 the face from the cat at the exact second is godly. 😂😂😂
