Kittens on their backs while humans do things to their fronts: so hot this week.
My eyes bleed rainbows at 1:30 when this cat steals the mascara comb she's being groomed with. I cannot deal when animals adorably prove that they don't know what's good for them.
I watch this user's video's a lot, actually. Her name is Mythicbells and she describes herself as "your average stereotypical Cat Lady," except not every cat lady obsessively documents the daily minutiae of her cats' lives. She seriously has hundreds of videos where not much at all happens except some cats walk around. One of said cats has the biggest eyes I've ever seen on any animal (including elephants) and another (my favorite) has only one eye. This Mythicbells is kind of the Frederick Wiseman of YouTube cat video directors. While not so eventful or Internet-flashy, her stuff is soothing and raw, kind of like a blanket made out of kittens.
If big eyed Sirocco were a human she would be allison harvard.

Kitty videos are digital zen gardens with valium pebbles.

Mythicbells needs to add a video: "how to paint geometric patterns on various cabinetry."

Christine is abolutely right. That was what I was thinking, too!
I'm dead with the cuteness from that video of the kitten being brushed, though. DEAD.

I think my heart just expoloded. I have a Himilayan cat with a "Winston-like" face.

Oops! I meant "exploded" and "Himalayan."

WTF Tulip!! She doesn't look real, reminds me of that Grizzly Bear video
But she is real! I found some videos of her on YouTube
Posted by: Lauren | December 02, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Her eyes are INSANELY big - like they've been photoshopped with that stupid "bug eyed" effect that seemed so popular for a while. And the dark paddy paws - excellent.

oh, this is the saddest of all my sad-lady habits - looking up cat videos on youtube..
Posted by: Michael | December 02, 2009 at 05:42 PM
i think these are all scottish fold cats, too, which are possibly the most adorable creatures on the face of the planet. excepting winston and allison harvard, of course.

WELL! As you can imagine, I was mystified to discover that the Grooming Sequoia video had gone viral. With some help and sleuthing, I've traced the source back to this blog (I think?). Winston's Daddy!!
Oh, BTW, Sirocco has almost grown into her eyes, but not quite. :D

This is disgustingly adorable and I LOVE it!! Awwwwwwwww! :)

This reminds me of the time my friend's cat -- who has thumbs -- tried to put on make-up. Well, sorta. http://thumbcat.blogspot.com/2009/03/thumb-cat-does-drag.html

I found the Mythicbells live webcam.
Dear God... The possibilities of head explosion are far greater than any "Puppycam".

PS:
They're persians.
Sirocco is a shaded Golden (I want one SO BAD) and little Sequoia is a calico.
Not Scotties.

Dear god, I love that Nugget video. Watching cat videos is double good when it drives your cat nuts to hear them meow >:)

Given your love of high camp and the 80s, I thought this dance video might be of interest to you, Rich:

The part that disturbs me most is that the man's costume is identical to the woman's.

Thanks Rich, I subscribed to Mythicbells. ALthough I don't know why, I can't take this level of cuteness, it makes me cry haha. :)
