In the first video, it really looks like something is wrong with the cat.  He is totally limp.. doesn't LOOK like it is by choice.  ??
The second video... it just seems cruel to me.  No one has to agree.   :D

I asked when I RT'd it if the thundershirt was cutting off oxygen to the brain, & was told a lot of cats (especially young ones) would do that b/c it felt like their mom picking them up at the neck.

I've seen dogs doing that walk when you first put boots on them, but never a cat.

Thanks for the explanation, DeeDee.

Question... why would a cat need to wear boots?

I bet Puss in Boots could answer that question!   Bumpurr1  Maybe they feel like Antonio Banderas when wearing them?   :D  (Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.)

I know that some folks will put boots on their animals if they plan on taking them to walk over rough terrain (snow/rocks/hot asphalt).  So, maybe that was an effort to get kitty used to them before going on a walk?   :-\
