The obvious question one should ask after watching this video of a kitten popping two water balloons and then fleeing to someplace that isn't a wet nightmare is: has the insane serial water ballooner who filled this bucket with ammunition been apprehended yet?

Admittedly, there are worse wake-up calls than an adorable Oreo-colored nugget of joy poking you in the face repeatedly. (My alarm is pretty bad, for instance, even though I set it as the "Salute Your Shorts" theme song.) But Old Deuteronomy here is not amused. Read… 7/27/13 12:00pm 7/27/13 12:00pm

If anyone feels like spontaneously lactating, watch the above video of Lurlene the cat, who adopted one-day-old orphaned pitbull puppy Noland over in a Cleveland animal shelter. As you can see, she grooms him like one of her four biological kitten babies. (He's fed with supplemental bottles since he's bigger than his… Read… 6/24/13 7:45pm 6/24/13 7:45pm

JK. It's just a cat who's really into her nice warm sudsy bath and will not let you take her out of it. Or it's cat gazpacho. Your choice. Read… 6/01/13 12:00pm 6/01/13 12:00pm

An oldie, but a goodie. Looks like SOMEONE attended the Twerking Academy. All the bonus points because this cat's name is Bubba. (But actually, this cat's OK, right? Please email us if you're OK, cat.) Read… 5/25/13 6:30pm 5/25/13 6:30pm

The ultimate humiliation for a shy cat is to have its shyness broadcast to millions of anonymous YouTube cruisers, who will all shame the cat with misspelled, misguided comments such as, "Welfair cat 2 good 2 eat in publik??? HAHA, thx alot OBAMACARE!" Indeed — if a cat is receiving government subsidized cat food,… Read… 3/10/13 2:30pm 3/10/13 2:30pm

The YouTube caption for this video insists that the cat is "helping" with the dirty laundry, though that hardly seems possible given the visual evidence at hand. This cat is clearly just fucking around with the dirty laundry, which doesn't seem helpful or considerate at all. This cat, ladies and gentlemen, is a dick. Discuss… 1/19/13 5:30pm 1/19/13 5:30pm

A fleet-footed black-and-white cat was captured back on Dec. 31 by prison guards in Brazil's northeast Alagoas state after it was caught sneaking around with a little parcel of tools strapped to its body, which is both the cutest and cleverest jailbreak plan ever devised. It's also reason enough to take a long, hard… Read… 1/06/13 12:30pm 1/06/13 12:30pm

Chatty the orange cat, clearly the Daria of your average domestic feline, can't believe that her owners are taking this whole gift-giving thing so seriously.

When the needle on this record player catches the cat's eye, it accidentally creates the most bomb-ass and avant-garde scratch remix of Bob Marley songs ever produced by a DJ of any species. And then it helplessly spins around on top of the record for a minute as its owner laughs at it. A++ Read… 12/01/12 12:30pm 12/01/12 12:30pm

Scottish folds first became known to most of America after Taylor Swift's myriad Instagram photos of her kitten, Meredith. While the kitten in this video doesn't belong to America's pop unicorn, it does adamantly (adorably) poke her owner until she receives the lavish affection that she thinks she deserves.

Groveling for daily gruel, Oliver Twist-style, is not generally a cat's prerogative, which makes this grey, huge-eyed specimen very special. Not to mention polite! When my cat is hungry, she just pokes me in the face, then goes "Fuck you" and skulks away to wreak havoc on whatever seasonal chotchkes are sitting on my… Read… 10/13/12 12:00pm 10/13/12 12:00pm

As if cats did not already have plenty of ways to manipulate our minds, they have now—as this master practitioner demonstrates—obtained the technology to begin walking us on leashes.
