MILES: Oh!

I like when the big cat's like, nah, I don't like you, homie.

Get out of my house.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

LIZZIE: It's the Caturday

MILES: Caturday!

LIZZIE: Caturday!

MILES (SINGING): Caturday!

Caturday!

LIZZIE: Where would we be, as an internet culture,

without cat videos?

MILES: I can't even think of what the alternative would

be in a cat video-less world.

LIZZIE: Let's just say there'd be no internet.

What you just saw was a kitten in a tiny hat getting

slapped straight in the face.

MILES: The cat-- and the hat blew off it got hit so hard.

LIZZIE: "Kitten in a Tiny Hat" clearly

is a classic example of the one-hit-wonder cat video.

Many more of these on the interwebs.

This video, "Excuse Me," has over 2 million views.

MILES: Bye.

LIZZIE: Another classic one-hit-wonder

is the "Surprised Kitty."

-Gootchie, gootchie, gootchie, gootchie.

Ga!

MILES: Wee.

[GIGGLES]

-Gootchie, gootchie, gootchie.

Ga!

Gootchie, gootchie, gootchie.

Ga!

LIZZIE: This was uploaded in 2009.

It has 74 million views.

MILES: The cat just might be terrified, though.

Does anyone ever think--

LIZZIE: No, it's having a great time.

MILES: How do you know?

You speak cat?

LIZZIE: Yes.

MILES: Oh.

LIZZIE: Obviously, one of the most iconic internet cats

is, of course, Tartar Sauce, better known as Grumpy Cat.

She's beautiful.

15 million views.

She just turned two years old, by the way.

MILES: Grumpy Cat's only two?

LIZZIE: She's only two.

MILES: Isn't there, like, a bunch of merchandise too?

Like Grumpy Cat merchandise?

LIZZIE: Yeah.

Grumpy Cat's revenue is over $100 million.

I hope you bought that cat something nice.

Do your best Grumpy Cat face.

It's good, but like--

MILES (GROWLING): Me Grumpy Cat.

So they say dogs are just blindly loyal,

but cats are thinkers.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MILES (GROWLING): The cat is thinking

about things I never even thought about.

LIZZIE: Henri is also involved with the Friskies competition

for the best internet cat video.

The voting is open from now all the way up until September 8.

And for every vote, Friskie is donating

a can of cat food, which is very nice of them.

ALEX: I don't even know how to tell you

how great this video is.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

ALEX: Every time!

It's funny every time!

It's the whole body just goes, Ah!

This is from 2012.

It has over 14 million views, and it is from Veronica Duff.

EARNEST: Thank you, Veronica Duff.

ALEX: The only video I ever watched more

than this one-- "Nonono Cat."

-Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[LAUGHING]

-Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no--

ALEX: No, no, no, no, no.

-Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

EARNEST: No, no, no, no, no.

[LAUGHING]

EARNEST: The owner is, like, really proud, too,

that they got their cat to say no.

And I don't know, like, what purpose

that-- well, 10 million views is a purpose, I'd say.

ALEX: [LAUGHING] Look at his mouth move.

EARNEST: So we've seen cute cats.

We've seen funny cats.

Let me show you my favorite cat video, which

is a surprising cat video.

It's a cat video so great, the cat's

not even in the video for most of the video.

ALEX: This worries me.

EARNEST: What you're looking at is a bit of exposed pipe.

There's a cat stuck in this pipe.

ALEX: Oh, no!

Oh-ho!

EARNEST: It is the most surprising cat--

cat-- I can't even.

ALEX: It is the most surprising cat-- cat--

cat-- can't even cat.

EARNEST: This cat fell into the pipe and got stuck.

The fireman had to hook a leaf blower up to this pipe

to shoot the cat out.

But the cat was not hurt.

I think the fireman adopted the cat.

ALEX: Aw!

EARNEST: Like, the guy who came up with the idea

was just like-- thank God.

ALEX: He said, oh, one piece!

CARLY: I've been waiting for Caturday

since I started working here last September.

And Ali, you know Simon's cat.

TOGETHER: I love Simon's cat.

CARLY: The most popular cat, I would argue, actually,

on the internet.

[SOUND OF SHOWER AND HUMMING]

ALI: Oh, there he goes.

CARLY: He's so cute!

ALI: Simon's cat is the perfect depiction of life with a cat.

Like, your cat is always going out of it's way

to try and mess your life up in, like, the cute, fuzzy way.

Simon Tofield is a really popular English animator.

The really impressive thing about this

is it's hand animated.

It takes him a really long time to do each one.

It has 1.9 million views.

ALI: I think Alex is our cat.

CARLY: Except, he's less cute and cuddly.

ALI: I don't know if you're prepared for how

cute this video's going to be.

This little baby, Conner, is having trouble sleeping.

And along comes Stewie the cat-- his little magic paw.

[FUSSING]

CARLY: Oh, I don't like babies, and this is sweet.

CARLY: Oh wow!

He just knocked out so instantly.

ALI: This video was brought to us by Aaron Grant.

And it's got over 12 million views.

I think half a million of those views are mine.

CARLY: Happy Caturday!

ALI: Happy Caturday!

CARLY: Yeah!

LIZZIE: This is one of my all-time favorite cat videos.

I love it so much.

[THEREMIN NOISE]

LIZZIE: Huh?

[THEREMIN NOISE]

MILES: [CHUCKLES]

LIZZIE: I love its one eye that's like-- no, no.

[THEREMIN NOISE]

[LAUGHING]

LIZZIE: That's why Ilike it so much.

MILES: Cats have a lot of different talents,

like a laying down and purring.

LIZZIE: Yes.

MILES: But they're also great acrobats and athletes.

Behold "Purrkour."

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MILES: Oh, sick jump!

This cat don't care.

It's like, I've got three lives left,

and I'm running like I have nine.

And the owner, Robert Dollwet, he has over 33 years

experience training animals, so I

think he knows what he's doing.

LIZZIE: Wow.

My cats are pieces of crap.

They can't do this.

MILES: That was a beautiful look at cats.

A lovely way to spend your Caturday.

LIZZIE: We have so many more cat videos

for you in a playlist after the show.

And we also want to know which one you're favorite was.

MILES: And now, to play us out--

TOGETHER: Self.
