Awesome Cats

What happens when a cat gets its little mitts on a giant remote controlled spider? He hangs on for dear life, that’s what. We wonder what would happen if spidey were filled with catnip.

We’ve seen cats take on alligators, but it turns out cats hate dragons just as much – especially this one in World of Warcraft. Apparently, it’s a popular pastime. Try it with your cat and report back.

Tigers, lions, leopards and other large felines enjoy the holidays just as much as we do. Here they are opening their presents, enjoying some turkey and a Christmas tree. (Vegetarians, look away.)

Give your feline friends something that they can practice their eventual overthrow of the Earth on, like this corrugated cardboard scratching post that looks like a giant skyline. Kittehs need goals too.

It’s cat vs. cat and birds vs. cats in this action-packed street thriller. We don’t know why the cats don’t just gang up and eat the birds, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen natural order break down.

The natural order of things doesn’t always work, as is demonstrated in this video of a fat-ass rat taking on not one, not two, not three, not four, but five alley cats. Guess who wins?

It’s a bit NSFW, but don’t let that stop you from taking a look at the comical homage Jay Kila has paid to Maru, that charming little fat-assed cat who is more than a little obsessed with boxes.

Maru likes boxes. This cat doesn’t care if the box is short, tall, small, or tiny, he’s gonna figure out a way to get inside of it. Our favorite has to be his graceful entrance into the skinny bunny box.

Here at The Awesomer, it’s clear we are fans of the cats. And cats are funny, especially when they’re feeling undignified; today, please enjoy Linus in his costume and the insult added to injury at the end.

We’re not really sure if these cats are playing patty-cake, high-fiving each other, or think they’re looking in the mirror. The video says “Wing Chun Sticky Hands,” but we don’t know what that is.

This music video from Holy F*ck has everything you want in a video – psychedelic animation, motorcycle crashes, and cats and dogs driving cars. It’s like Chemical Brothers meets Toonces.

This kitty is dressed up as a bumblebee for Halloween. From the look on his face, he’s completely humiliated by his owners cruel dress-up game. Just wait for the end for the best part.

Despite the fact that Maru the cat is a bit on the chunky side, he’s not going to let that stand in the way of fitting his fat cat ass in whatever cardboard box you put in front of him.

Its Friday, so why are we being so serious? How about something a little lighter, like this video of a kitten riding on the back of a turtle, set to the tune of “Baby Elephant Walk.” Awww. (Thanks, Kevin!)

The Internet is a strange and wonderful place. It gives cute and cuddly cat videos, like “surprised kitty.” It also has extended the life of Star Wars franchise indefinitely. This video does both.

It’s time to step aside Keyboard Cat and Turntable Dog. DJ Kitty is here, clawing and scratching his way through some hot tracks on his platter. Yeah, we know that’s a DJ Hero controller.

How could you possibly improve upon such a classic scene from a classic movie? Replace half of the actors with cats. On second thought, maybe it’s not an improvement, but it’s definitely weird.

We’re frequently amused by the strange goings on of felines, now let’s watch in slow motion. Filmed using a Casio High Speed EX-FC100 camera, here’s how Maru the cat gets in and out of a box.

Lacking self-awareness, this little kitty passes by a mirror and is taken aback by its reflection. It goes into attack mode, and amazingly enough, gets owned by its doppelganger.

Next time you find yourself face-to-face with a tiger, lion, leopard or jaguar, don’t run. Just drop a big bag of catnip at their feet, and watch ’em get just as stoned as your house cat does.

Ever wonder if the smart and intrepid Lassie would rescue Timmy from a perilous position if she were a cat instead of a dog? And isn’t it about time you found out? Find out in this 30 second clip.

OMGWTFBBQ? We don’t know what got into this cat, but it needs an exorcism, and fast. We’re waiting for its head to spin around and for split pea soup to come spewing forth from its eyeballs.

Are you sitting here in the 11th Hour leading up to the LOST finale, and still don’t understand what’s going on? Perhaps our feline friends can help you sort out any confusion you might have.

Ever wonder where all those pens on your desk vanished to? Simple. Blame the ninja kittens. Also, we’re pretty sure they typed something on your keyboard when you weren’t looking.

James Bennett’s paperback From My Cold Dead Paws: Cats and the Guns They Love pairs cute little kitty cats with human-killing weaponry. Is it a match made in heaven or hell?
