Meet Shula Von Hollow. Shula is the “Stanley Kubrick of cat videos” – directing her furry “catctors” for the World Wide W for the last 15 years. She’s also the only person we know of who can make a cat do anything.

A cat is sick of his dull home life, when he realizes it would be so much more fun to be a dog. An entertaining and uplifting commercial for UK mobile provider O2. Though we still have absolutely no idea what it has to do with them.

While some of us like to think our pets are humans, this 10-minute compilation of animals acting like animals should set you straight. Our next Kickstarter projects: a cat-proof printer and mirrors that only reflect people.

You might have thought that drifting around corners was an activity reserved for motorized vehicles, but it turns out that just like the Internet, cats are trying to horn in on mankind’s leisure activities once again.

Marvel at the difference between cats and dogs. In a masterful subversion of Pavlovian conditioning, Dan Sorkowitz trained his cat to train him. When it wants treats, it summons Dan with its bell. Who’s the pet here again?

A new way to keep your cat occupied now that he’s grown tired of the laser pointer. All you need is an open space and a few thousand dominoes. We wonder how this cat would do in this spiral.
