Have you ever thought about cat videos? They are this huge
phenomenon across the internet, mostly YouTube as it is the most popular
platform for videos at the moment. But have you ever asked why we love them so
much?
Yes, they are cute and adorable, but there is so much more
too it than that. So, being the weirdo that I am, I have devised a list about
the appeal of cat videos. Here goes!
Reasons why we love Cat Videos:
·
You don't like cats: in most videos you see the
cats do silly things and fall over and such and you may enjoy watching their
pain and failure (you horrible heartless person)
·
You are allergic to cats: watching these videos
is a way for you too enjoy these adorable creatures without sneezing or
physical reacting in anyway
·
Relate as you have a cat: this one has two
parts. 1) You have a cat so you can see how adorable they are, and maybe try
and prod your cat to do the same things that you have seen, because it was just
SO CUTE. 2) You understand how much effort it is to care for the creature,
feeding, cleaning up after and just living with the strange thing. In the cat
video you can appreciate the cat without thinking about how your going to have
to clean out the kitty litter later on.
·
You want a cat: maybe you’re not allowed a cat,
if your parents don't let you, or your roommate is allergic, these videos are
good enough to satisfy your desire enough to stop annoying the other person or
people you live with.
·
You humanise the cat: if you can watch a cat
video and at one point think “same”, then you are humanising the cat. If you
are watching a cat be all adventurous in a bath tub and then watch it slip
over, and find it funny because the same thing has happened to you, you love
this because it is funny and you are not the one in pain. You relate the cats
adventures and annoying habits to your own life, thus you love cat videos.
Awww, wasn't that a nice little break down! :D I thought
so!!
Of course, I couldn't possibly be talking this much about
cat videos and not show you one!! This is one I watched earlier hehehehe
Please enjoy!
What’s also totally fascinating is that Cats don't know
about the internet, yet they are globally famous. That is just totally not
fair!! And all because they were just being themselves. If only it was that
easy for us humans too!!
Bye bye for now!
P.S. hahaha nearly forgot the link…awkward
