More footage of the rarest of cat breeds: the vacuum cat. If you’re feeling down, turn up the volume and bask in the sound of air caressing a cat’s tongue. And ask YouTuber CatAndHoover if it’s really just air coming out of the tube.

We don’t know much about this video, except that the dog sounds like a wind-up Dracula toy and the lady sounds like a chicken. We couldn’t find the original Vine clip, so this will have to do.

You want peace? I’ll make you rest in peace. Cat video specialist Ignoramusky found this cat who seems to have a vendetta against the letter V. Or at least when its owner makes it with his hand. Maybe it just thinks its a bunny.
