You totally scooped me on this video. :)
The kitty yodeling made me lose it. No wonder cats always hurk up hairballs in the most inconvenient places- it’s revenge.
Hee, I figured I wouldn’t be the first Skepchick to see and love this. And YES, yodeling is exactly the point I lost it, too. The balloons were hilarious, too.
See, now you’ve got an engineer all I-want-a-new-cat’ing. I was not aware of the potential Skepchick attracting qualities. A huge plus.

This particular cat had a portrait aspect-ratio as well as the more familiar landscape mode. However, he also had (as you can see) a very high wind resistance.
DAMMIT, REBECCA!!!
You owe me a new keyboard and a clean pair of pants!
P.S. I have four cats.
Forgive if this has been posted before, but I do love me some lol(Schrödinger’s)cats.
Hee! I watched this last night—so cute. It makes me want a kitty that much more!
What a lovely way to start my Sunday! (Yes, at 11 a.m., shut up.) Anything involving kitty performance art, deadpan delivery by an engineer, and the Mozart Requiem Mass qualifies as weird enough to start the day out on the right note.
<3 for LOLcats. <3 <3 <3 for scientific treatment of LOLcats.

Hey! They measured in Inches?? Not Centimeters??
(and the yodeling was awesome.)
!!
When I met my fiancé, he had two cats (now we have four). I remember the first time he “played the kitty” for me. Cat yodeling is a time-honored musical sport.
Also, we practice corporal cuddling with similar results. It’s best to trim claws, first.

“I remember the first time he ‘played the kitty’ for me.”
TMI, Amanda! :D
As a woman with three cats, I totally wish to marry this guy, or the other guy, or or whoever was most in charge of that terrific video.
The cats (Penn, Teller and Sagan) would love him. We’ll have to start practicing our cat yodeling . . . .
Oh noes! Teh HP kalkulators!
I am now going to get my cat and make her yodel.
Great, now I’m not going to be satisfied till I can get my cats to yodel.
That was awesome, but I feel bad for the cat on the chair.
Speaking of engineering and cats, here’s a cat playing a theremin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ONJfp95yoE
That was wicked awesome!
