I want a kitten dammit

2 Jmper 09.07.08 at 2:07 am

The music reminds me of the old nintendo game Bubble Bopple. Very cute kitteh

3 Elmo&Dana 09.07.08 at 2:08 am

I love the other random kitty at the stairwell at 0:33 pahahaha

4 Slave To Three Hooligans 09.07.08 at 2:22 am

Ahn! I wish I had smooth floors as Horus would so love an RC mousie. Alas, we have stoopid carpet.

5 Hamster & Rye 09.07.08 at 2:28 am

The big, fraidy yellow eyes
are so great!

6 yankeebird 09.07.08 at 2:28 am

Oh my frak that was hilarious! And the music was absolutely perfect!

This is a renewable energy
source!
Love this kitten…grabbie hands grabbie RC mouse so
kitten will follow…

10 Totalee Puppy 09.07.08 at 2:43 am

SQUIRT…I’m sorry you lost
your kitty…You need some time to feel that loss, but
it’s nice you can take some time for CO and some
fun moments like this one.
Hope this brings back some nice memories.

11 Marymomma 09.07.08 at 2:43 am

Soooo cute. Want new kittie badly! Vetoed by my husband and 12 year old kitty though. Boo.

I am so sorry for your loss Squirt. :(

12 Totalee Puppy 09.07.08 at 2:46 am

Looks like “some” has become my favorite word…

13 chanpon 09.07.08 at 2:47 am

Sweetie pie!! You get ‘em, brave little kitty. Love how kitties can not quite figure out what they want. “Ooh, play with it!” “No wait, I hate it” “Want to bat it.” “But WTF is that thing coming near me?”…

14 stubbedoo 09.07.08 at 2:58 am

Uh, which one has the batteries?

15 DKN 09.07.08 at 3:00 am

Best cat toy EVAR.

16 scooterpants 09.07.08 at 3:07 am

beautiful floors you have.
shiney and slippery perfect for the poosie-feet.
the ‘eyes’ have it, i love to see the way the pupils open for the thrill of the hunt…. luckee kitteh, hope you have lots of batt’ries….!!!
adorables!

17 LesbianNeoCon 09.07.08 at 3:08 am

The frantic eyes are great!!

18 Jimbeaux 09.07.08 at 3:15 am

Hee! So cute! And awsome pounce-practice for the little kitteh! Definately put a smile on my face.

19 berthaservant 09.07.08 at 3:19 am

Squirt, all our love, think good thoughts!

The music on this was PERFECT. Somewhere Max Linder is smiling.

20 alexa 09.07.08 at 3:24 am

is that a player piano??
does anyone know? i saw one once in a museum.
the kind that has rolls of paper. you use your feet to pump and and that causes the piano to play.

21 EaterofShades 09.07.08 at 3:49 am

googolplex=10^(10^100)

i.e. 10^googol where a googol=10^100 (a 1 followed by 100 zeros)

O, and boing-boing-boing-boing rarow!! :)

( and baroo :( )

22 ethical.breakdance 09.07.08 at 3:59 am

Tink almost looks relieved to find out that the mouse cannot get up on the rug.

23 Sweet Scout 09.07.08 at 4:04 am

OMG…’googleplex’ is one of my fave words evarrr. Wouldn’t that be a great name for a kitten?!?

Squirt…I lost my old marmie kitty last Wednesday. Hugs to you…I know too well what it means to lose a beloved animal companion.

The CO postings and especially the comment community have been very comforting. Keep coming back…it helps.

24 Annie 09.07.08 at 4:23 am

LOL,,,, Eeek a MOUSE!!!!!

Run kitty run!

HEhehehe

25 AuntieMame 09.07.08 at 4:23 am

Alexa, if it wasn’t a player piano, then there’s some guy in the background with a straw hat and a garter around his arm plinking away on an old upright.

I loved Tink’s hunker down move whenever the mousie got too close. Hee!

26 jbm 09.07.08 at 4:57 am

Youtube lets you put in little captions now. They obviously did this so we can make live-action lolcats, and this is the perfect video for it!

27 lurkertype 09.07.08 at 5:59 am

There is NOTHING cuter than a kitten on a wood floor.

28 Kimberly 09.07.08 at 7:27 am

Holy cow. Where does one get floors that luminous? That floor is GORGEOUS. Just perfect for robot mousie and a hyperactive kitty!

29 Kallisto 09.07.08 at 9:33 am

They have my chairs! Of course, theirs are in much better repair and their house is so much nicer and the hardwood floors and…
Oh, nice kitteh. Looks like my Ares when he was a wee one.

30 Boy 09.07.08 at 9:59 am

0:57 – “But I’m on base!”

31 Gail (the first one) 09.07.08 at 11:12 am

@Squirt and sweet scout: So sorry to hear that you have lost kittehs….Sending happy thoughts, {{{HUGS}}} and snorgles your way. CO is a good place to be where peeps understand!!!

32 Aisha 09.07.08 at 12:10 pm

I….I think I love black kitties now…

33 Katrina 09.07.08 at 12:22 pm

The mouse needs a battery, but not the kitten! Keep on keepin’ on, kitty-cat!

Squirt and sweet scout-we’re here for you, I am just so sorry for your losses. Another little friend may pop up for you to snorgle when you are ready, I hope so.

34 dub1 09.07.08 at 12:56 pm

So the Hollywood myth of women in aprons jumping on chairs to escape meeces actually started from this video . . . who knew?

35 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 09.07.08 at 1:18 pm

It´s TINK! Hello Tink!!! I know this kitty. I know a celebrity hahaha! :D

36 Theresa 09.07.08 at 1:27 pm

Crazy eyes!!!!

Also, notice how Tink’s anti-jump muscles fail him at crucial moments. ;)
In Soviet Russia, prey chases you. ;)

37 Erica 09.07.08 at 1:27 pm

I love it! My favorite is the head nod at 51 after he realizes that mouse can’t get up on the carpet. It’s like he’s saying, “What you got mouse!?”

38 Peanutcat 09.07.08 at 2:29 pm

Hey! I’ve got one of those mice! They are FUN!

39 Jon 09.07.08 at 3:34 pm

The eyes in the 0:50 to 0:55 section get me!

40 Tessa 09.07.08 at 4:13 pm

the music totally makes it… oh yeah, and the kitten doesn’t hurt…

41 warrior rabbit 09.07.08 at 4:16 pm

Elmo&Dana, I didn’t even notice the other kitty in the stairwell! Good eyes. Makes a brief appearance at 43, too (well, they just stuck some other footage in between the two). Can’t tell anything about the other kitty. Want to know more. Must be old — too sedate to come catch the mousie.

42 carmen 09.07.08 at 4:17 pm

0:50 to 0:55 was the best part, kitty was just giving that mouse a look!
And the eyes!

@Squirt and Sweet Scout: so sorry to hear about your kittehs.

43 Tamika 09.07.08 at 4:44 pm

Annnnndddd jump, pounce – nothing. Do I hit it now? Grrrrr…target so tiny.

44 jen 09.07.08 at 5:02 pm

what toy is that and where can i gets it???

i love 0:30!!!

45 claudia 09.07.08 at 5:13 pm

Awww I lol’d at the hide behind the shoes move, teehee!

46 lurkertype 09.07.08 at 7:58 pm

I think mysteriously appearing stair-cat is just watching the kitn like we are. And is old and wise enough to know it’s much safer if you don’t get out into range of the kitn frenzy.

47 CoffeeCup 09.07.08 at 8:11 pm

OMG, I saw this on yahoo’s home page and I wanted it to be on CO sooo badly, and here it is! Love the black kitty’s amusement!

48 Angela-Eloise 09.07.08 at 9:55 pm

I love when he licks his lips, and then at 1:13 when he sproings out of the frame. I want kitteh!

49 Jim 09.07.08 at 10:54 pm

Google = search engine.
Googol = number. (so, googolplex, not googleplex).

I don’t know if the Google folks intentionally misspelled it or not.

50 Theo 09.07.08 at 11:00 pm

There actually is a “Googleplex”, though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googleplex

51 Theo 09.07.08 at 11:01 pm

(and yes, it was an intentional and copyright-able misspelling, a la “Macintosh”)

52 Mousewife 09.08.08 at 12:05 am

0:30, peeking out around the corner. Tooooo cute!!!

53 alexa 09.08.08 at 2:40 am

AuntieMame
:)

54 Yitzysmommie 09.08.08 at 4:05 am

Wunnerful vid
Squirt & SweetScout. I’m so sorry for your losses. Think Rainbow Bridge and your kitties twining happily around your ankles again.

55 matt 09.08.08 at 1:37 pm

We bought our cat this same toy, and he, too, was absolutely terrified by it. Glad to see he’s not alone ;)
