The Cat Video Post

It's an ongoing joke, a running gag, a cantering drollery among those closest to me: my knowledge of youtube cat videos. So here, not very reluctantly, is my List.

Stalking Cat
The video that started it all. A charmingly simple narrative with a suspenseful performance by the anonymous cat.



Cat Eating With Hands
Featuring some freakishly well-timed head-tilting.



The Original Maru
In which Maru, once just a tubby house cat and now a meme in his own right, first comes to my attention as a cat worth watching. There are many videos of Maru hiding and running and diving but for me, this early depiction is the most quintessentially Maru. Watch out for his distinctive splayed legs.



Treadmill Cats
Burmese. Such personalities.



Sage Dance
Psych.



Standing Cat
The most beautiful thing about this performance is just how present the cat is. So present. So much is conveyed in that slightest of paw-lifts.


And that is it, from me, on the subject of cats, forever.
