Nora the Piano Cat – the Sequel

Jason — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:00:00 +0000

My dad got me a papyrus painting of the Egyptian cat god Bubastis while on a trip to Cairo recently, and my wife and I put it up on the wall after moving into our new digs.

For some reason, our cat Angel (I used to stroll her and her brother Dan around the neighborhood when I used to live in Evanston) likes sitting right beneath the painting, often striking the exact same pose:

Jingle Cats in hell – Installment 3

This video was made by someone who, after undoubtedly watching the original Jingle Cats short far too many times, decided to run it backwards at 80% speed. The result is truly terrifying:
