It’s a crying shame, the way you can search for hours on YouTube, and only come up with a handful of cat videos. It’s like nobody wants to waste their time looking at cute kittens or something. I say we combat this enormity, one at a time, by uploading cat videos ourselves! If not us, then who? [I’ll go first.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9624983@N05/4269583825/) ---

I think the problem is that no one has been able to come up with a cute name for a site that could present photos and short cat-themed videos that make you laugh out loud. ---

There are many cute cat videos, but they eventually all fall prey to the ninja kitty. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/fzzjgBAaWZw/hqdefault.jpg "だるまさんが転んにゃ - Stalking Cat -") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzzjgBAaWZw) ---

In these catless times, I draw succor from the purring of the YouTube cats. [Gazoo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u38xZsCTCOY) is cuddly and soothing. [Julia](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE6BVRSQNZU), OTOH, sounds like she has swallowed a live adult bullfrog. [Rabbit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYAjwYZBMiw) is a cat who makes pigeon noises. Why they named him Rabbit and not Pigeon, who knows. ---

Hmm, laughing out loud and cats. Sounds like a good combination- I’m suprised no one’s come up with it before. What, not a single squee for my Tikva going fishing? ---
