and not watched the video, but seeing the screencaps made me go and hug my cat...
There was a comment in one of the thread on 4chan which summed it up for me:
'I've been around and had cats all my life, and even worked at an animal shelter for a few months. When a cat knows he's beat, he WON'T fight back, and will just sit there and wait for it to be over as quickly as possible. It's very sad. They only fight back when they know they have a chance to defend themselves or a chance to run. A housecat who knows there's nowhere to go will just stand there and take it knowing there's no escape. Even if you're gonna kill them, they just sit there and take it hopng it'll be over fast. You can even see it in the video. There's a point where the cat stops even trying to run and just waits for it.'
