Even nowadays, people are still getting up in arms about kids playing violent video games. Clearly, the more important thing is not letting cats watch boxing. This little guy picks up the imitable behavior extremely fast, and there’s no telling how many cat toys he may go on to brutalize with his new found ability. That being said, if you threw this cat in the ring with, say, a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robot, I’d totally bet on the cat.

Now back when I learned how to beatbox –poorly– it was “boots and skirts” but I suppose cats are fine, and I must admit I’m a fan of the catbee. This video, with music by Robert Clouth and animation by Henry Edmonds, is one of the coolest visualizations of beatboxing I’ve seen in a while, and believe you me, I’ve seen a few. Give it a look. I’ve got to go out and pick up a new pair of leather knee-high cats.

In Kitty City, everything is made of cats. That might sound cute, but the results end up in squarely on the “unsettling” end of the spectrum. I think that’s exactly what cyriak, the video’s creator, is aiming to do.

Normally, sleephugs would be creepy, but in this case, they’re probably safe-for-work.

Like barbecue ribs and whipped cream (which is, surprisingly, not bad) or cookies and ketchup (which, unsurprisingly, tastes exactly how it sounds it would), the above video shows another extremely unlikely combination–a cat and some dolphins. From the side of what appears to be a boat or dock, the cat, adorably named Thunder, nuzzles on some dolphins that seem to be petting Thunder with their noses. Adorable.

This cat and I have something in common. His name is Jimmy, and that’s what relatives, females to which I have been endeared, and males with southern accents call me. What we don’t share, however, is the number of fingers on our hands. He has six, you see, whereas I only have the five. However, Jimmy and I both shoot a thumbs up when appropriate, so we also have this in common. He can do it on command though, as evidenced by the video, and I will probably be rebellious and not oblige when given the same command. If there’s a treat involved, though…

These are some cats, and they are completely indifferent about having cups on their head.

What else is there to say?

Booby trapping a cat to turn it into a bowling ball is pretty ingenius, and thankfully, it’s just plastic cups instead of heavy pins, so approval all around.

On February 16th, 2001, human culture was forever changed when the “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” music video was uploaded to Newgrounds.com. (Person from 2001: “YouTube? What’s that?”) Of course, Zero Wing, the remarkably badly translated Japanese space shooter game from which the video dialogue is yoinked, was made in 1989, and even in 2000, forumers thought the All Your Base thing was old. But the Newgrounds video was enough to make it cross over from geeky shibboleth to one of the first true viral hits. (A week after the video surfaced, Wired wrote about the All Your Base phenomenon.)

So thank you, Zero Wing, Newgrounds, and uploader BadCRC; you have set up us the bomb in our hearts.

This alarm clock probably doesn’t come with a humane snooze button.
