One of the most adorable things about animals is the inability to recognize a pursuit as futile.  Another is the inability to distinguish things you’re attached to from things you should chase and kill.  Sometimes, a clever owner sets up a situation where both of these can be maximized for my enjoyment.  And enjoy it I shall.

This has gotten a lot of play around “the tubes” recently, and it was sent to me by friend of CAZ Rosina.  Although Roomba has a rich history with pets (usually they hate it), this cat finally found out what it’s real purpose is: a meandering (meowndering?) chauffeur.  Looks like fun, actually.  I wish I was cute and only weighed a couple pounds.

Videos of cats fighting printers is a genre of its own on YouTube, much like yawning lions or giggling babies.  Today Digg declared a clear winner, although I think they’re off the mark by a little.  But I’m going to let you decide.  First I’ll give you the unedited video, which isn’t oriented properly,* (I prefer this version) and then you’ll be able to see the Digg approved redux, with all its Sci-Fi sound effected glory. Enjoy!

*Update: Alert reader Ezra found a better version of the video, properly aligned and everything. Awesome.

Nora the piano-playing cat is one of the finest cute animal videos available on the internet. I’m fascinated by her fascination. Curiosity didn’t kill this cat, it made her absolutely adorable.
