01:09 A two-month-old kitten, Marimo, and a five-year-old owl, Fuku-chan, have become the newest internet sensation in Japan. The two struck up an unusual friendship after the owners of the coffee shop where Fuku-chan lives brought Marimo home to keep the owl company. Pictures of the two sleeping and playing have gone viral on Japanese social media sites.

02:01 Henri, the famously world-weary and angsty cat, is subjected to the indignity of a dog joining his family. “Just when I think they have exhausted all means of insulting me. Now this.”

00:41 Turtles are perhaps the slowest land animal on the planet, but that doesn’t stop this shelled creature as he changes directions on the cat three times to try and catch his feline friend.

01:40 It’s awesome to see her up close.

01:24 Watch him having the time of his life, shot in slow motion.

02:17 Adorable six-week-old Maine Coon kittens have nearly mastered the stairs. Now it’s time for them to attempt drinking from the kitchen faucet, just like their mom! Watch the fun!

01:54 Three ducklings went missing on an Irish farm, and the farmer thought the cat had eaten them. What he found was even more surprising – they were snuggled up to a cat mom, right next to her kittens. Stranger still, the ducklings were breastfeeding (ducklings don’t breastfeed, as they are self-sufficient virtually from birth).

02:52 A funny compilation of dogs who desperately want to be friends with cats.

01:54 An adorable little orange tabby named Marmalade shows off the many uses he has for the bathroom (aside from the obvious). As you’ll see he’s just a furry fitness freak!

02:25 Simon’s in the shower, so he can’t keep an eye on his hungry cat. And that’s where the trouble begins.

03:12 What do you get if you take the boarding skills of Tony Hawk, the parkour prowess of David Belle, and a nimble feline? Why, a cute cat from Australia named Didga! Watch this amazingly athletic cat showing off her incredible parkour skills and taking the extreme sport to the next level.

04:44 In this entertaining and informative video the folks from Big Cat Rescue show and tell us the similarities (and differences) using several of their own big cats and their two domestic cats.

02:57 Ze Frank voices a cat who is writing a letter to a young kitten who has moved in with him. The cat talks to the adorable little kitten about the human larvae that smells like milk, introduces him to wet cat food, and warns him about the evil monster known as “vacoom.”

02:48 In honor of Internet superstar cat Maru’s 7th birthday, here’s the newest supercut of his box-loving antics. His little sister Hana joins in for some of the fun.

01:37 These two are an adorable pair. Max the cattle dog is a tender creature. He has befriended a little disabled kitten named Ralphee who was born with a neurological disorder which affects her fine motor skills and coordination. She struggles with walking straight, or even keeping her head level. Max appears to be forever curious and watches over Ralphee wherever she goes. Ralphee is mischievous and loves to see what Max is doing as well. She will often get excited when he is nearby and leap in the air before playfully charging in his direction.

01:10 Cat and budgie—sworn enemies in the real world—join forces in this charming ad. Kitty paws open the birdcage and the pair perform a soulful duet of of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell tune “You’re All I Need to Get By.”

01:03 Watch Chamallow breaking free with ease from two cages. He refused to be held captive, causing havoc for staff at a Marseille veterinary clinic in France that had adopted him. They’d been baffled as to how their cat broke free from its cage every night, until they placed a camera in front of him one evening.

03:27 Meet Didga and Ollie, an unlikely Aussie duo of skateboarding cat and remote-controlled board. Didga shows off his skills by jumping off the board onto fences, leaping over a Rottweiler, free running over passers-by, and having the best day ever. He may be the coolest cat on the planet.

02:24 This video from The Slow Mo Guys shows how their impressively agile cat Lloyd does a “double-jump” to climb a fence. The slow motion gravity-defying jumping starts at about 42 seconds into the video – check it out.

01:13 Six Scottish Fold kittens have been incredibly active performing their own form of the Olympic games. They run the whole gamut, not discriminating between seasonal sports. The video shows the kittens luging, wrestling, running, skating, and adapting other popular Olympic feats.

01:35 Always eager to get their ‘good’ (wet) food!

05:36 A stellar compilation. Enjoy!

02:19 Kodi the cat demonstrates rather un-feline like behavior in this cute video.

06:26 In a fun way SmarterEveryDay explains the how and why, and includes some real stunt-cat dropping photographed with a high-speed camera. Archival footage of Cats in zero G trying to right themselves is very cool, and demonstrates the physics behind the phenomenon. As far as I can tell, no cats were harmed in the making of this video – though they seemed, at the very least, displeased.

01:17 Watch Cooper, a hungry Persian kitten, standing on his hind legs to chow down the food he’s being served with chopsticks.

00:55 Simon’s playful cat retrieves hidden wonders from under the refrigerator.

02:33 Households are constantly falling apart because the cat knocks things off the table. This cute compilation shows them in action. Admittedly, some of these cats were tempted for the camera, but it’s still natural behavior. Cats just like to watch things fall. Watch and see.

02:20 To keep cats from getting fat or grumpy they need to get enough exercise. Here’s a fun way to do so. Meet Banjo, Fritz, Harley, Mr. Freckles, Pumpkin, and Tom. Watch as these cute felines go through a regimen specifically designed to give cats the workout they so sorely need. Exercises like Paw Extensions and Rear Leg Lift test their resolve and commitment to kitty fitness.

01:49 Marcus attacks a printer. And eats the homework!

01:06 Moving their heads in unison to a women’s match on TV, two kittens are entranced by the sights and sounds and are getting very much into the game.

01:00 In a world of uncertainty, one thing is a constant: the internet loves cats. One reason may be because their cool aloofness often mirrors our own. Jaded as we may be, we still yearn to be a little more open, a little more in the moment, a little more, well, dog. Starring perhaps the coolest cat the internet has ever seen, this video encourages us all to embrace our inner lovable dog.

01:34 Simon’s cat and kitten are alone in a room where a TV is playing. Cat owners can probably guess what happens. This is exactly why flat screens should be mounted on a wall.

01:12 Sox’s owner caught him checking himself out in the bathroom mirror and waving at his reflection – clearly realizing how fabulous he looked. Several YouTube commentators have also pointed out how clever this cat must be to have figured out that his jazz-hand paws are reversed in the mirror.

03:21 In honor of Maru’s 6th birthday and to celebrate the big day, here’s a highlight reel of the Internet superstar’s box and bag antics.

03:21 Ze Frank records several depressed felines narrating the ‘misfortunes’ in their daily lives – telling tales of neglectful “authorities,” a world devoid of reason, and using vomiting as a form of protest. And it just gets more dramatic from there. Who knew that being a cat was this tough?

01:53 What’s that? A Brillo pad? A tiny cactus? No, Loki, it’s a hedgehog! The adorable first meeting of a kitten named Loki and Harley the hedgehog will make your heart melt.

01:39 Cooper, a cute and furry ball of joy, dances to a rhythmic score. Sometimes on YouTube the simplest ideas are the best. Tabby kitten, ball of yarn, shaky camerawork = 17 million views!

01:26 Rocky the kitten breaks down the 12 steps to achieving love utopia with your sweetheart. You might not think a cat has much wisdom in the romance realm, but Rocky’s tips rival the advice any human could offer.

01:37 This cute kitten is very happy in small quarters. Two of his litter mates try to see if there is any way they can join him. Sorry, guys, no way.

01:53 Watch this tiny Himalayan kitten play and explore – he’s so cute.

01:35 Simon’s always adorable cat explores the garden, meeting a very interesting frog – and once again his curiosity gets the better of him.

02:22 On his visit to the vet Henri once again shares his existential ennui: “I try to tell the doctor about my depressive state and my growing disillusionment with the world, but he just checks for gunk in my ears.”

01:32 Ever wonder how cats learn to hunt? A cute kitten named Tink is faced with a new opponent, a remote-controlled mouse. How should he react? Attack or retreat? He’s clearly not sure and tries to figure out the proper role of a cat versus this speedy little creature.

05:01 In this adorable video testament to true love, pet owner Billy Browne builds a massive, floor-to-ceiling palace out of 40 cardboard boxes for his cat Rufus. The completed tower takes up an entire wall in the apartment – and Rufus loves it. Watch and see.

04:43 This is great. A real treat and maybe the best one in this YouTube series. You’ll love it. Watch and share.

04:52 A Lithuanian composer was inspired by Nora the piano playing cat and composed a concerto for her to perform as guest soloist via pre-recorded video projected onto a large screen behind the orchestra. It’s been performed all over the world.

01:53 Having a human is a big responsibility for a cat. He’s entirely responsible for their health and well-being. So it’s important to establish a proper exercise routine right off the bat. For a quick primer, watch this 7-step tutorial by Kodi the Kitten. He’s got his human trained and walking like a champ.

03:20 The folks over at BuzzFeed believe they’ve finally settled cat vs. dog argument with “scientific proof” that felines trump their canine counterparts. With Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 playing in the background, the narrator comments on a series of images showcasing cats’ superiority and offering video evidence to prove once and for all that cats are indeed better than dogs!
