The demise of Vine is drawing closer. I couldn’t stand the thought of all those cat videos out there being lost to the abyss, so I gathered a few (i.e. nearly 50) of my favourites.

I hope you enjoy this compilation of cats and kittens being funny, silly, or just plain adorable.

Pros: some very cute videos, and only 3 of irresponsible behavior.

Cons:2 of those videos are of, respectively, a young lion and a young cheetah in people’s houses.

Source: How Much Do Cats Actually Kill?

I did the math to figure out how many furry forest critters my one hunter cat actually killed. Here are the numbers:

She’s 10 years old, but she’s spent the last year as an inside only cat, so let’s mark her down as 9 years old. As an indoor-outdoor cat, she averaged around 4 kills a week. According to this study, she was probably killing 16 per week. At least.

There are 52 weeks in a year, so my cat was killing around 832 moles, voles, rats, and mice per year.

At 9 years old, her kill count was most likely around 7,488.

I’m lucky that she only went after rodents and not endangered animals. With a kill rate like that, this one cat could’ve wiped out an entire species.

And that’s just one cat.
