An Engineer’s Guide to Cats




(YouTube link)

Two engineers try to make sense of three cats. The result is pretty much what you’d expect. I especially enjoyed the game at the grocery store. -via Viral Video Chart

    I predict a flood of cat yodeling videos on youtube. At least that will be less obnoxious than the misspelled caption pictures.

    That’s the first time I’ve seen someone play a cat like it was a set of babpipes.

    I just don’t understand why engineers don’t get more dates. (shuffles out of room, nodding to self.)

    That’s awesome. Our main cat punishment is kisses from daddy. My wife will actually call me in from another room if kisses are warrented.

    Miss C., you’ve done it again! This video is hilarious! I ended up laughing and spilling Hot Cocoa all over PJs! The cat yodeling and grocery games was absolutely the best parts. :D

    Lovely vid,
    but.. dont, *please* DONT feed your cat tuna!!
    it has a lot of added salt, witch we humans like and can digest..
    but it WILL destroy our lovely pet’s kidneys in the long run…
    fact; salt + cat = slow horrible DEATH

    Even as a dog person I got a chuckle out of that … Engineer types have such a fun sense of humor =)

    It was funny until the cuddling, then it just got a little creepy…

    My brother and I have done cat yodeling forever! We would each choose a cat (we had 5 at home, one of which never made any sound that we know of) and see who could get the cat to produce the strangest or loudest sound without the cat scratching us or running away.

    Cat yodelling is genius. And we’ve been practising corporal cuddling with our cat for a while. It works if you can ignore the couch.

    i am sick of the cats. every day there’s a post about a video of a cat doing something stupid or there’s a contest featuring the stupid lolcats.

    Great video! I like you guys, very funny! I would like to see more videos from you two! I plan to show this to many others who will enjoy as I did.
    I too have cats and can relate-although not groovin on the spinning of the cats- not good for them at all, and the tuna thing although they love it, not good for them either. Other than that….A+!

    Hey “DanO”….maybe if you didnt watch so many cat videos you wouldnt be so sick of them…..

    ROFL The cat yodeling was awesome, and this video was made all the more hilarious by the monotone way in which the dialogue was delivered! I hope they find a way to recharge the batteries with cats and balloons! :P

    ahhhhh, this was awesome! I’m going to use the corporal cuddling sometime, it looked like it worked.

    mossel kots: i appreciate your concern with feeding cats tuna… and i understand that cats don’t digest it the same way we do due to the salt content.. but is is still as harmful if fed only on occasion? i have a cat and i feed him tuna, but only when i run out of normal food and i won’t be going to the grocery for a day or two. i never give him any more than maybe one can a month, but could that really do that much harm? i’m seriously concerned, though, because i love my cat and i don’t want to hurt him. he never seems to have any adverse effects from the tuna, so i’ve never had to be suspicious of giving it to him, but if it seriously harms him, i won’t do it anymore.

    and on the other side, i could easily say that cat owners who smoke are slowly killing their felines, too. and owners who let their cats outside because they have that much more of a chance to get hit by a car or run away. and the food that they eat has antibiotic residues and such as allowed by the FDA. so really, we’re all slowly killing our pets anyway.

    Finally, the enigma that is felines is brought to light! I never knew one could use a cat for music AND alternative forms of energy. My four cats and I have work to do!
