Cat videos are found across the Web for a variety of purposes--from health concerns and alerts to humorous looks at cat behavior and tricks. With the popularity of joke cat imagery sites, such as LOLcats and Icanhazcheezburger, video sites like YouTube have become ripe with a large variety of clips to view. In fact, cat videos have become so ubiquitous that several websites have sprung up that are dedicated to showcasing the best cat videos around, including funnycatvideos.net and funnycatpix.com.
There are a number of cat videos that have gained substantial fame on YouTube and other sites across the Web. One of these is "Keyboard Cat", the famous orange cat named Fatso who appears to play a keyboard. Another popular cat video is "Stalking Cat", where a young cat quietly advances on the camera whenever it ducks away. "Surprised Kitty" has also received a lot of views--nearly 30,000,000--and is a simple 17-second clip of a man tickling his kitten and the kitten sprawling in surprise after each tickle. Below are some of these example cat videos, along with a few others.
