"247 would allow the child to play for so long before something terrible happened." Yup, sounds like a cat to me

Plot twist: It was actually a normal kitten, it just decided to not hold back its true power.

Corporal Rico? Private Kowalski? I'm sensing a theme here.

"we die in the dark so other can live in the light" damn that's hit hard

Objectively speaking, Kowalski's sacrifice was an act of tactical genius in a situation that was highly stressful even before he got the idea. He was obviously one of the foundation's finest. Was, unfortunately.

As a kitten lover, this SCP is the new lego brick under my feet

I’ve never had this much respect for a fictional character. He resolved to die, kicked a tiger, and thought only of his creed when he did it. Good man

“Dr.Bright is not allowed to assign SCP-247 for a “play date” with foundation staff”

Its a harmless cat: Kalm It turns out it isn’t: PANIK

4:48 They found corpses that had been entirely eaten? Now that's an impressive feat, even for the SCP foundation.

This is actually one of the easy ones to clean up. Just report that a tiger broke out of the zoo and turned into a man-eater. If necessary, spirit away a zoo tiger. It's basically the truth anyway.

iota-5 be like: "Come here, Kitty Kitty Pspspsps!"

Easily one on my favorite animal scps. There’s no force on earth or beyond (looking at you scarlet king) that could stop me from petting this pretty kitty or trying to boop the snoot!

Me reading the title knowing full well that it isn't just a harmless kitten

No comments talking about how much of a solid, heroic dude Kowalski was smh. Rip Kowalski

Narrator: “Private Kowalski...” Me: KOWALSKI ANALYSIS

If one had both the Reality Stone and the Mind Stone, then theoretically, their combined power should nullify 247's anomalous effect, thus allowing the wielder of the stones to see 247 for what it really is.

"the chances for a harmless SCP to kill you is low, but never zero."

Scp foundation: contains eldritch Gods that can destroy reality and everything in it. Also scp foundation: defeated by a tiger

“These anomalous kittens can be anywhere, and they can breed further to become the most invasive urban species ever.” Ah yes. The unmistakable sounds of an XK class scenario.

Dude… that’s just life with a cat.

So did the kid not notice how friggin' heavy the kitten in his lap was?

as a cat lover with a cat of my own, i would probably be dead in an instant. i would be petting it while saying “wHoS a GOod kITTy?? yOu ArE!!”, and trying to take it home

"where is the kitten" "But sir you're gonna die" " *WHERE IS THAT KITTEN* "

This is awesome. Pure genius. Someone with a big budget needs to get rolling on a SCP TV series. The incredibly smart stories are already there. Would be way better than X files.

so like, does the kitty have the same hitbox of a lion or...

I still find it cute and funny that SCP 247 and a Bengal Tiger actually birthed another SCP 247.

New researcher: “Aw what a cute kitty!” Dr bright: *smacking the researchers clipboard* “NO TOUCH KITTY.”

me looking at my ginger cat that sits on my lap as I watch this: 👁👁

As a cat lover, this wouldn't stop me. I would happily pet it until I die. Day 91 of asking the O5 Council to use SCP-1968 to create a universe in which 682 doesn't exist.

Well, I’d be dead within seconds, even if I knew about it. I’d just have to pet the kitty 🐱

“Me seeing a tabby cat and realizing it could be a tiger” …..still worth it

This is one of those SCP that just seems so much easier to kill and be done with

Ah yes, no one questions the attack helicopter with missiles and guns hovering over a building. Its the perfect disguise-

What if there was an inverse? A small innocent housecat, who's anomalous ability makes humans and humanoid creatures run in fear because it is perceived as a Bengal Tiger? Pin would be awesome 👌

“A Harmless Kitten” Whoever names these files needs to be escorted to a dark room with no windows and terminated immediately.

This would have been an incredible story with a twist, if the title and thumbnail hadn't spoiled the twist. Also, the legs of cats, either big or small, don't bend that way.

Me :Harmless kitten A new Scp fan: The thumbnail says otherwise Me :(laughing) bro this is why it is harmless coz this is the SCP foundation

If I was the strike team I would of thought the child had powers! That, “good kitty” was creepy!

Welp, yup I would be dead for sure. I can’t deny an adorable little orange kitten, I would for sure pet it with hesitation 😂😭

Harmless little cat?? Cats are responsile for the extinction of a bunch of different species...for fun! Nothing more terrifying than an SCP cat...

Everyone: *pays attention to the cat* Me: What about the child? Where will he go if his mother is gone? What will the foundation do? What will be their excuse?

This... Would it be better to just terminate them instead of containing? Actually, what happens to them after killing them? Will they lose all their properties? Can they be taked and used? Day 24 of asking for a video of "The Things Dr Bright Is Not Allowed To Do At The Foundation" with some backstories and explanations to some of them

One of the few cases where the foundation decided the danger was great enough that further instances were to be neutralized on discovery rather than merely contained. They got one in containment and that's more than enough, any further instances that Iota-5 (Tiger Bait) finds are to be destroyed immediately.

Does anyone else watch a lot of these and wonder why Art Garfunkel is one of the frequently seen SCP scientists?

SCP-247 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-247 is kept in an enclosure of at least 20 (twenty) by 40 (forty) meters, furnished based on the plans provided by the [REDACTED] Zoo and lined with SCP-148 offset from the rest of Site-██ by at least 50 (fifty) meters in order to mitigate its psychic effect. (As per current containment procedures for SCP-148, its use in the containment of other SCPs is to be avoided if at all possible. - O5-█). SCP-247 is to be fed 18 kilograms of fresh meat on a tri-weekly basis. Feeding occurs in a separate enclosure. Cleaning staff should enter the enclosure only during designated feeding times. No other access to the enclosure is allowed. The footage resulting from any violation of this order is to be archived for use in training the cleaning and monitoring staff of SCP-247. In case of a containment breach, the entire wing must be evacuated and all live footage of the incident heavily censored. The area SCP-247 occupies will be sealed off and gassed, followed by the return of SCP-247 to containment. If for any reason this should become impossible, a retrieval team will be sent in armed with heavy tranquilizer rifles. Retrieval team Agents must be specially selected for high reflexes, excellent marksmanship, unquestioning obedience, and low empathy scores. Description: SCP-247 is a Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris; adult female) which, to all observers, appears to be a harmless cat (Felis catus; juvenile female) with an orange-and-black striped coat resembling that of a tiger. Remote feeds and still photos also show this illusion, although it is unknown whether the photo itself is affected or merely the observer. SCP-247's true nature has been confirmed by analysis of weight, water displacement, and dental moulds made from bite marks. It is unknown exactly how SCP-247 generates this illusion. There are two components to the illusion: first, a memetic effect that changes the perceived image of SCP-247 to that of a kitten, and second, a psychic component which radiates outward from the subject (diminishing according to the inverse square law and reaching half strength at █ meters). Any sentient being within this field comes under the impression that SCP-247 is completely harmless, regardless of prior knowledge or experience. Individuals in this field also show extreme reluctance to harm or allow others to harm SCP-247, even while being actively harmed by the subject. This psychic field can be blocked with SCP-148, or avoided by striking from well outside its effective range. The memetic effect is not blocked by SCP-148; as of yet, no one has been able to see SCP-247 as anything but a small striped cat. Typically SCP-247 will begin to purr or mew when approached by a human. The human will remark that this is adorable, and approach to pet the subject (this has been observed even in persons who strongly dislike cats). SCP-247 has been known to accept affection from its victims for upwards of seven minutes before disemboweling and devouring them. Genetic analysis shows slight deviation from a typical Bengal Tiger's genotype, indicating possible contamination [DATA EXPUNGED] all further breeding experiments require O5 level approval. The resulting hybrids have been designated SCP-247-1; see Experiment Log 247a-14 for more details. Addendum 247a: A series of tests in exposing SCP-247 and the Control subjects to various non-human animals. Control testing took place in an exact replica of SCP-247’s enclosure. Control A is a yellow kitten matching SCP-247’s apparent size and age. Control B is a fully grown Bengal Tiger matching SCP-247’s actual weight. Experiment Log 247a-01 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: A mixed-breed dog, mostly terrier. A known cat-chaser. Control Test A: Subject immediately began barking and ran at the control, which retreated up a nearby tree. Control Test B: Subject cowered in the corner as far from the control as possible. Control took no notice of subject. Results: Subject ran toward SCP-247, barking loudly. At approximately five (5) meters away subject slowed to a halt and became silent. At this point, SCP-247 rolled over and made a ‘mewing’ sound believed to be a sign of annoyance. The subject retreated to a far corner of the enclosure with its tail between its legs. Notes: That was extremely odd. Further testing recommended. - Researcher S████ Approved. - O5-█ Experiment Log 247a-02i-ii Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: A male tabby kitten with the same apparent age as SCP-247. Control Test A: Subject played with the control in the manner expected of kittens. Control Test B: Subject climbed a tree and attempted to hide itself from the control, displaying visible signs of terror. Results (test i): Subject approached SCP-247 and mewed. SCP-247 responded in kind and played with the tabby kitten. The resulting footage is extremely odd; at one point SCP-247 lifts the subject (which appears to be the same size as SCP-247) with a single forepaw, while at another point SCP-247 lifts the subject with its mouth, clearly showing that its mouth is much larger than it appears to be. The leading researcher characterized this as adorable but remarked that it gave him “a headache.” Due to a faulty recorder, this test had to be repeated. Results (test ii): Subject approached SCP-247 as above. SCP-247 made a deep purring sound, analogous to a growl. Subject reacted as in control test B. Notes: This seems to indicate 247 has some degree of conscious control over its apparent appearance. - Researcher S████ Experiment Log 247a-03 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: An adult male deer, a normal prey animal for a Bengal Tiger. (Control B and SCP-247 were not fed for 3 days prior to this experiment.) Control Test A: Subject grazed. Control fell asleep two minutes into the experiment. Control Test B: Control attacked, killed and devoured subject, which behaved normally for a deer trapped in an enclosed space with a large predator. Results: Subject began grazing as in control test A. SCP-247 approached it calmly and killed it with a single bite to the neck, then proceeded to devour the subject. (Test was repeated without SCP-247 being forced to fast. SCP-247 completely ignored the subject for over a day before apparently becoming hungry and killing it, again with a single bite to the neck.) Notes: SCP-247 seems to prefer humans, both as food and for entertainment. Other prey animals presented to SCP-247 were all killed in a single strike, while humans are invariably allowed to pet the SCP for some time before being killed and are sometimes mauled and ‘played’ with the way a cat will play with a mouse. Furthermore, the SCP has killed every human it has had the opportunity to kill, regardless of hunger. - Researcher S████ Experiment Log 247a-08 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: An adult female chimpanzee. Control Test A: Subject and control ignored one another. Control Test B: Subject retreated to a tree, showing some signs of unease. Control displayed some curiosity towards the subject but did not attack. Results: Subject approached SCP-247, made noises identified as signs of affection, and began to groom SCP-247. SCP-247 allowed the subject to groom it for over an hour, then messily killed and devoured it. Notes: This seems to be its typical reaction to unfamiliar prey animals. It seems to prefer to prey on apes with advanced social behaviour. Experiments with gorillas and other social apes have shown similar results. Essentially, SCP-247 is a large predator that has somehow adapted to take advantage of the largest available food source - humans. We should investigate all future reports of man-eating tigers in case there are more of these things. - Researcher S████ Experiment Log 247a-12 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: An adult female grizzly bear. Control Test A: Control fled up a tree in terror. Subject ignored it. Control Test B: Subject and control acted nervously and gave one another as large a berth as possible. Results: Initially subject and SCP-247 ignored one another. At one point subject came very close to SCP-247, resulting in SCP-247 giving a warning growl. Subject responded with hostility. Test aborted due to possible harm to SCP-247; subject tranquilized by Foundation personnel and subsequently killed by SCP-247. Notes: Future tests involving animals potentially capable of killing or injuring a Bengal Tiger are cancelled. - Researcher S████ Experiment Log 247a-13 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: An adult female Bengal Tiger Control Test A: Control fled up a tree in terror. Subject ignored it. Control Test B: Subject and control greeted one another, established the order of social dominance, then both fell asleep. Results: Identical to control test B. Notes: Interestingly, SCP-247 was the beta animal in this interaction. - Researcher S████ Experiment Log 247a-14 Date: ██/██/2010 Test Subject: An adult male Bengal Tiger Control Test A: Control fled up a tree in terror. Subject ignored it. Control Test B: Omitted, record of normal Bengal tiger mating behaviour substituted. Results: As expected based on control B. [DATA EXPUNGED]. Notes: Researcher S████ has been removed from this project for lax security in his experiments, although in light of his injuries, further disciplinary measures have been deemed unnecessary. [DATA EXPUNGED], which seems to have benefited from a form of ‘hybrid vigor’, has been designated SCP-247-1. Considering that SCP-247 is likely to have bred naturally in the wild, Mobile Task Force Iota-5 ("Tiger Bait") has been formed and assigned to hunt down and contain or destroy all incidences of the hybrid SCP-247-1. - O5-█

Even after this video, I fail to see how SCP-247 is different than any other cat.

Thanks SCP Explained, this is exactly what I needed to see on the eve of adopting my first kitten 😊

What I find scary about this video, is how the kitten’s legs keep bending the wrong way.

"has never been percived as anything other than a kitten" wonder how a AIC would percive it

At least it's just a tiger and not some world-ending demonic force

*_Top 5 SCP pet animals_*

Ayy good job with these videos man I love the effort you always put in to them all! Keep doing a great job

1 mtf dead is pretty good for scp standards

This brings a whole new meaning to “murder mittens”. For those of you who are not obsessive cat people, “murder mittens” are paws.

The reason why I love this scp: This scp is simple, and isn't some overpowered letrich abomination given immortality by a writer who assumed it would be terminated if it wasn't. Its just a bengal tiger assuming the form of a house cat

I'm fostering a orange tabby right now should I be worried?

Im gonna be honest, since the cats on this animation looked so cute, i really was hoping for the test kitties not to die, luckily they didnt and now im more than pleased

A normal business helicopter, Has giant gun on front Ah yes, VERY NORMAL

Ok, now people will understand why there are some who fear little kittens and call them "Cute, but Deadly!"

The irony of this situation is that my ability to meow like an actual cat could be used against this SCP to confuse it and get it to leave me alone. Since I've actually had a conversation in cat with a stray cat before (without injury to me or the cat), this could actually be used against this SCP to get it to leave me alone and not try to kill me.

The fact that ‘harmless’ was used to describe a cat in the title

[THE LIVING LEGO] me: walks The lego: YEETS BEHIND MY FEET Me: Nuclear explosions

I hope they keep both the parents and their cub in containment so they could be a happy tiger family (curse my love and defensive To any animals and right to make sure they stay happy even in ScP universes

I still love the scp universe till this day, because its so well made the amount of effort they put in the lore of the scp

'We die in the dark so that others may live in the light.' very noble. Are you sure that's a *Foundation* credo?🤣🤣🤣

Just because it's a cat with tiger-like traits and normal house-cat traits, doesn't mean I'd want to see both the cute cat and the tiger within.

Bro this entire story is just describing my cat. Orange tabby attacks everyone but one person but people still think she’s cute

Damn Iota-5 is badass

the harmless kitten :D

1:10 idk why but i laughed at how the classic SCP Explained scream sound effect was shown as a soundwave on a screen

Finnally someone makes a video on this SCP! It's one of my favourites!

The title reminds me of the meme "it won't bite" lul

Do a video on Marshall, Carter and Dark please.

The main reason why I love this channel is because it shows me scps i’ve never heard of!🤩

7:40 I think I heard something like this before.. "We get our hands dirty so the earth can stay clean"

"It may be the last thing you ever do" Yes, but it is worth it.

MTF,RRT,SD and more I havent brain

I love orange kittens, so I'm the prime target for its next victim lol

This is why, you sould never be evil with cats, because some of us are beyond the 12 dimension, LARGELY BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Wow I'm first

1k likes already how......edit: who would dare dislike 😡

I love how, of all the types of cats they could have given, they decided to give Garfield a Nermal.

the fact that the cat was capable of kindness at all might mean something

Ok whats happening are we doing an evry day upload or is this a dream

And this is why I'm a dog person. 🐕

Awwww, what an adorable cat!

i'll be terrified of every orange cat i see from now on. thanks a lot.

I like how the video is on scps (super natural objects and lifeforms) and the thumbnail is basically me in the evening lol

Containment procedures: place cardboard box next to a cat tree

**sweats nervously as an piranha tabby cat owner**

Ah thank you for reminding me of my old orange tabby, his name was Yams and he was a brave hunter

Me: *wants to pet cat* Also me: Wait I'm allergic to cats. Oh well. *pets it anyway*

Kowalski was a true hero, man.

This inspires me to make a human scp with a memetic effect on any animal within the feline class of animal, causing them to see the human as a friend and wanting them to be happy, able to be commanded. Cat’s best friend.

The stander distruction as an scp.

yet another interesting scp, thank u

What a cute little cat

i’d probably think that kitten was just normal. no one would

The important thing is that the dog survived.
