Reader Florian sent me this with the note that this might be the first cat video I hate. But I actually love it. Warning: don’t watch this if you’re baked!
A friend told me that this is full of references to various genre of Japanese anime, but I’m totally ignorant of that. If you catch the references, add them in the comments.
At least the cat bus from “My Neighbor Totoro”!
But watching again it’s a cat train… so I got nothing.
Correction: DO watch this if you’re baked!
Correction to the correction: watching this will get you baked….
b&
I burned one before I hit play. It’s all good.
Correction to the correction correction – watching this will give you a bad trip without being baked!
Correction to the corrected correction correcting the co-co-c’choo!
Um…could somebody color the carrots…? I mean, pass the potatoes?
b&
Correction to the corrected correction of the original correction…I am baked just reading this conversation 😊
I concur. Some pretty good dissonance in the audio, too.
I watched it baked–sorry!
Nah! Kitties don’t reproduce by budding, as you well know! They don’t walk like that either!
Wow. I just saw some of the videos in the Youtube channel where this comes from. Some of the weirdest (and coolest) stuff I’ve seen!!
Sorry, but I could only make it halfway through. I… I.. just was not strong enough.
Or not baked enough.
My first vid this morning – I’m not strong enough either. I don’t do baked except with cake ingredients, so there’s no hope for me.
I think there are probably subliminal messages all through it. We’re probably going to all start building potato sculptures or something now.
Cyriak, the animator, is a genius. Warped, but has a fantastic vision.
I agree! His animations are fractally recursive.
eeeeuw – that’s creepy! clicked out-
wow! I immediately subscribed to this person’s YT channel and I’m going to download the music for a ringtone! I watched it four times! Genius!
Fractal kitties! That how I interpret it.
Fractal, but creeeeepy.
What. The. Fluff.
Cackle!!!
I loves the homage to Classical mythology at 1.20.
What. The. Fluff.
That’s exactly the dream I had after cleaning the cat box without rubber gloves.
Brainworms indeed!
Very funny.
Kittehpilars!
Well, if you aren’t already baked going in no worries. You’ll definitely be baked afterwards.
cyriak is really great. glad you got to see this Professor!
also: challenge accepted (just let me get home first!).
Cyriak has another cat video on youtube called Meow. Easy to find, strange to watch.
And one called Meow Mix.
This one got Baihu’s attention. Special appearance by Basement Cat!
b&
Reminded me of this.
Love them both. Does Basement Cat gots special fangs?
Zombie apocalypse, animated feline style. Graphic in a cartoonish way.
b&
h/t should go to Sophie Caron who sent me this gem.
Here’s one especially apropos for this Web site. The evolutionary history of life summed up in one bizarre, fucked-up under-two-minute animation!

OMG the Creationists are right! Evolution is ridiculous.
Honestly, it’s hard to believe that scientists actually BELIEVE this happened. Someone needs to fire this video off to Christian homeschools, pronto.
Yes, but isn’t the Internet Satan’s bastion of evil lies and Socialism and pr0n? Do Christian homeschoolers even know what a computer is?
Besides, it’s YouTube. You know? That Tube thing that you probably stick in places you shouldn’t even know exist except when you go to the bathroom?

All the moving fingers reminded me of …
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
―Omar Khayyam
Cool, if a little creepy. I like how the first bipedal critter kind of struts.
Didn’t some tech-artist from a while back make a box with a switch on it that, when flicked, makes a hand come out and switch it off? I’ve always wanted one of them.
Sounds like a Monty Python “title”, though in that case it would probably be a foot.
No, there was definitely a real box with a switch on it – you switched it to ‘on’ and a hand slowly crept out of the box, switched it back to ‘off’ and slowly retreated back into the box. It’s one of the most pointless, brilliant gizmos I’ve ever heard of – quite Gilliam-esque I suppose. I’ve always wanted one.
Oh hell no! Just looking at the image makes me think of that episode of the Twilight Zone where an amputee’s hand haunts a guy.
Oh my goodness! I thought the kitties would haunt my dreams, but now I fear fingers will!!!
KITTIES!
Better than ‘Cats.’ I’m going to watch it again and again.
It made me laugh; it made me cry.
“I laughed. I cried. I loved it more than “Cats.””
I see what you did there!
If Salvador Dali were a Gen Y, he would be doing something like that.
That was mentally mental. If Aphex Twin worked for kid’s TV.
exactly! I love the “meow mix” and kitty zombie videos…he composes the music too.
what if Cyriak and Bjork had a baby?
my brain will never be the same.
What’s baked?
I assume it’s stoned but maybe pissed.
The latter I can do but the former would require a drive out to Nimbin. Heheh.
