The Internet is made of kittens
How the lowly cat, shunned by Hollywood, became an online star: An introduction to Pet Week.
By Sarah Hepola
For all the Marley & Mes and Beverly Hills Chihuahuas, for all the Lassies and Benjis, there are almost no movies about cats. Untrainable, skittish and unpredictable beasts that they are, cats are a bust in Hollywood. (The one exception? Morris the cat, whose trademark skill was licking his lips.)
But its those skittish, unpredictable qualities that made them screwball comics for a YouTube age. The box-surfing cat (), the kitty on a Roomba (), the cat eating gyoza (http://www.boingboing.net/2009/02/03/cute-fat-kitty-nommi.htm) the Internet pumps out new adorable cat videos every day, many of them comic gems that rack up millions of viewers, their sheer simplicity and nuclear cuteness enough to make serious filmmakers soil themselves with envy and futility. (Have I seen Che? I have not. Have I seen Cat with a bag on its head? (http://www.dailyhaha.com/_vids/bag_over_head_cat.htm) Uh, yeah: Like 10 times.)

The internet is not a series of tubes, it is not a truck, it actually made up of kittehs.
