Won't someone please think of the kitten videos

Posted by Xeni Jardin, July 6, 2008 11:55 PM |

For various reasons, this week degraded into cute baby animal week here at Boing Boing. There was something floating around about an internet catfight; then duckies, then puppies, then everyone learned how to just get along. The final word, above: techno kittens.

Bonus: a cat eating corn on the cob, another licking a green sour apple lollipop, and one more who taught himself how to eat with a fork.

That was funny. For some reason I kept picturing Robert Palmer singing in the foreground. Simply irresistible.

I would not have thought so, but kittens actually make that little sick feeling worse.

Having been on a Werner Herzog binge, I can see no better cure to this animal cuteness madness at Boingboing than to point to the "dancing chicken" scene at the end of "Stroszek". Here we have an existentially distraught chicken expressing his sturm and drang by dancing to the harmonica strains of Sonny Terry. Enjoy, but not too much.

That's a lot of kittens. I hope they all find a good home. Did they all have the same mother?

-whew!

This needs to be mashed up with John McCain's green-screen speech, and submitted to Stephen Colbert...

RE the utensil using cat:

So did the cat "teach it's self" to tie/glue/tape a fork or chop-sticks to it's paw?

Also "the most expensive cat food on the market" does not equate "good cat food".

That woman is a psycho and I see why her kids don't want to have dinner as a family.

"Degraded"? No. I am strongly in favor of more baby animals.

That's about as close as anyone can come to successfully herding cats.

Well, these cowpokes did a pretty good job of herding cats:

I hope I haven't missed the boat here, but here's a video of my dog playing the keyboard.

That's right: DOG PLAYING KEYBOARD!

What makes this even cuter is that the music is from a "Crusha" commercial (flavored syrup that's added to milk to make milkshakes).

The head-bobbing part is easy, but how the hell do you get ten kittens to all sit on the same couch at the same time while the camera's on?
