It's not the first cat video contest ever, but this one is offering a major prize -- $15,000 goes to the video deemed the best internet cat video of 2012.
In hindsight, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Here is video footage of that super-chill cat from earlier this week, only now we know what it's thinking.
Ummmm ... this is a cat singing "Shine" by Collective Soul. There's not much more to say about it, because what more do you need to say about a cat singing Collective Soul? It's amazing. Watch it. Learn it. Love it.
Let’s face it, the internet is good for many things. Seeing status updates from Aunt Gladys talking about going to the gym to impress her new creepo boyfriend is not one of them. Take the sting out of an unfortunate Facebook TMI with some of the internet’s best puppy and kitty cams.
Holy moly. You no longer have to click on suggested videos at the end of your favorite cat video. Somebody went to the trouble of putting dozens of cat videos together into one CAT MEGAMIX!
This cat is chilling so hard, it almost puts zen cat to shame. It's not doing much, just sitting in an upright position, leaning on a pole, like people do, staring at a field like a typical grandpa. Silly cat, bad posture is for people, not kitties...
It's a good day on the internet for domesticated wild animals. First there was a raccoon dentist, and now a pet skunk that won't stop smooching on a cat. Also upping the awwww factor are the pet owners saying 'kisses, kisses, kisses!' over and over again in French...
Rufus the cat was mad at his owner because he kept giving him painful eardrops. If he doesn't forgive him after this, then who needs a jerk cat like that anyway? The guy built him an awesome maze out of cardboard boxes. What else do you need...
New York City Fashion Week kicks off today, and what better way to celebrate than by checking out a cat fashion show? Comedian and blogger Julie Klausner discovered a unique fashion show in the video above taking place in New York City.
You may remember Henri, the existential art film cat. If not, acquaint yourself, because you're looking at a STAR. Henri's movie, 'Henri 2, Paw de Deux,' won the Golden Kitty for Best Cat Video on the Internet at the Internet Cat Video Film Festival in Minneapolis. Oh, also there's an Internet Cat Video Film Festival now, and over 10,000 people visited it last week.
We aren't really sure what's going on here. It could be that it's just a highly-accessorized cat that really doesn't want to open its eyes. Maybe there's no more meaning to it than that. Or maybe this cat has unlocked the SECRET OF THE INTERNET. It's a mystery, folks.
It was only a matter of time before somebody needed a cat that would climb into a box for a commercial. Now that that's finally happened, internet famous feline Maru is starring in a Uniqlo commercial for one of their San Francisco locations. And there are lots of boxes. And Maru. Plus prizes!
Cats are very, very attached to their food. It's just their way. And as any cat owner knows, it can be tricky to put a cat on a diet.
And if you do, you'll also have to figure out how to keep it from lurking around its food dish waiting for the timer to go off.
Some people are calling this a ridiculously photogenic cat, and by "some people" we mean Reddit. Though, we're pretty sure it's actually just frightening. Like the second after this picture was taken it's mouth turned into a vortex that sucked in everything around it within a 50-foot radius and transported it to another dimension.
