No, this is not about the widespread internet trend of "lolcats" (although those can be funny). Rather, I've found that some of funniest videos I've seen on YouTube tend to involve domesticated felines. Pinky is a loving cat which needs a home, as the humane society is trying to say in this footage which was shot for television. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eht-kEzq88wA reporter holds a live cat on the news (also live) covering a story about animal abuse, which, as the cat demonstrates, can be a two-way street: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm22mnMEORUFinally, meet "Burger & Fries", the most pissed off cat you will ever see (or hear), most likely due to that unfortunate name it was stuck with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmDDp-cCo24Y'all post any feline video hilarity you may find here. |

Holy shit - I will never think of my cats as pains in the ass ever again. That third cat is probably the most frightening thing I've ever seen. The best bit of the first video? When that fucking PSYCHO furry bouncing ball wraps itself around the guys leg. You can almost SMELL the guys fear. Here's a cuter one, which shows a cat pretty much kicking a dogs ass. Having two male cats, I know when they're only playing and when they're fighting, and this is clearly only playing. Which is just as well for the dog, really.. oh, and the blonde girl in the video running around in short shorts is a bonus too.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6QhIecMjZs&feature=related |

Believe it or not, I'm a bonafide cat lover. These videos illustrate exactly why. I want that third one to front my dream death metal band. Oh, and don't EVER put a cat on a leash. It never works out good for anyone involved.

I LOVE cats. I'm a sucker for dogs too, but I think I've always preferred cats.
I like the way you have to EARN a cats affection. You kick a dog, it'll still wag its tail at you, but with a cat you do receive genuine, warranted affection.
My two cats, Ash and Ziggy (guess the reasons for those names) are AWESOME.

Best pet names ever! You hit the nail on the head about why I prefer cats, too. Dogs are compliant, blindly loyal, helpless, and tend to appeal more to like-minded humans. I like dogs (doesn't everyone?) but cats crack me up. They always remind you that they don't really need your ass by dropping dead birds and rodents on your pillow or doorstep. OWNED!

Cats rule. My mom named our family cat KC, for Kitty Cat. We got him four years ago when he was just a little thing that could sit in the palm of your hand, and now he's like the Shaquille O'Neal of cats. He's fat, long, muscular, and just all-around larger in every way than most other cats.  There's no leaving dead animals on the doorstep with this guy though. He's immensely lazy, even by cat standards; so much so that we set him in a cardboard box with a mouse that we had caught and all he did was stare at it for a moment and then leave. I've watched him catch a cricket in his mouth and then peel it apart while it was still alive, but killing anything bigger than a thimble apparently requires too much effort for him. |

Hey Benjamin, I'm an expert at dealing with immensely lazy cats.
Last summer I lived with my friend's family for a month and a half. They have a whole slew of cats, and I happened to be allergic to them.
We found it sort of irritating getting up to chase them off all the time, especially when they camped out in front of the TV and couldn't be pursuaded to move without kicking or stepping on them, so we utilized our airsoft guns to their full anti-cat capabilities. If you catch my drift.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I believe you've just made yourself rather unpopular around these parts with that confession...
Funny thing, my wife didn't realise she was partially alergic to cats - until we bought ours. So she's now on a daily diet of anti-allergin tablets. Especially when one comes and lies on her chest all night.
That big ass cat of yours looks awesome, Benjamin. We refer to ours as the .. of cats, too. It usually changes, but Ash is known as The Marlon Brando of Cats, because he's, like, fat - but handsome. And I call Ziggy, who's a bit nuts, The Notorious Z.I.G.
