Yo SD, can one of you brilliant teeming millions help me find some videos? Back in the early 2000s, maybe even as late as 2010, there was a person who made videos for YouTube (?) that seemed to be a symptom of their mental health. They made a bunch of videos and they were somewhat viral; I know we discussed them on this message board. As I remember it, all the videos they made involved a main “topic”, like a cat, or a bus, or some other object which would then divide and grow legs or mutate as the they marched across the screen like a side scrolling video game. The one I am trying to find had cats as the main “topic” that was mutating. I believe all the videos had music and would last for 2-4 minutes as the scenes/objects mutated like kaleidoscopes as they marched across the screen to music. I can’t remember if the objects were cartoons or modified pictures. The videos were amateurish compared to what people are doing today, it was 2005 or so after all. This “videographer” was a relatively famous part of the early internet. Does this ring a bell with anybody? ---

Are you possibly talking about Welcome to Kitty City by cyriak? https://www.youtube.com/embed/jX3iLfcMDCw?feature=oembed His other videos are similar: > **[cyriak](https://www.youtube.com/@cyriak?app=desktop)** > > I'm a freelance animator based somewhere in the UK. Feel free to get in touch for professional commissions (or anything else) via twitter or my website. I've given up trying to figure out youtube's messaging system. > > The software I use is photoshop... I was unaware of the mental health connection, though. Doesn’t everybody imagine cats dividing into busses? ---

You are the bomb! Cyriak; how could I have forgotten. ---

Wow, Kitty City came out in 2011. I would have sworn it was at least 5 years earlier. Looking at some of the newer work, maybe there is not a mental health connection. But that old stuff is wack. Has time cube written all over it. ---

It’s certainly weird, but no weirder than anything Bill Plympton made, I think. ---

Heh! I’ve been watching that video several times a year, every year, for like the last two decades… it’s just nice to relax to. As a bonus, it also confuses our cat a bit 😹 I also think it came out quite a bit before 2011… I remember it being a Flash animation or something. Maybe 2011 is just when it made it onto YouTube?
