I think a lot of the commentators here don’t read cat body language very well. Check out any of a number of books on same. So many of the kittens looked confused, or gave little ‘mew!’ vocalizations of unhappiness, that I couldn’t enjoy the video. There was a street scene where a kitten had something stuck on its head and was obviously distressed trying to get it off, and the ‘homeless’ kitten was too young to be a film prop, it’s eyes weren’t even open.

Think about it from the kittens’ perspective. In only a few shots do they look like they’re having fun. I guess it’s easier to see that if you’re not familiar with the human music video.

While it looked like the people manipulating the kittens were handling them gently in this film, I worry about imitators who care less.

All in all, a very unfortunate video, in my opinion.

I’ve shared this video with so many people. My favorite parts are the catnip drug deal, the kitten getting hit by his own jeep, and the cat punching the bouncer kitten at the backstage door. It makes sense that it was professional, because the sets were just too elaborate to be made by amateurs. Awesome song.

My ex-boyfriend produced this video. No kittens died! Yikes! They had a professional cat wrangler, and treated them all very well. You can see this video at their website- http://www.waverlyfilms.com

i heard one of the kittens died during the production!!

Waverly Films are the folks that put it together!! CUTEST!

Oh man, having FINALLY seen that video…two hours later I’m STILL busting out laughing about it! I can’t wait for my Mom to come over so she can check it out. She’ll die from all the silly cuteness!

The sets were GREAT, Nina–kudos to everyone who worked on it!
