00:00How are you feeling right now?
00:01I'm so overwhelmed.
00:02So overwhelmed.
00:03How do you feel about, I don't know,
00:04like reproductive rights or like the political climate?
00:08Really?
00:10I can't even think about that right now.
00:12Hi, and welcome to Cat Chat.
00:14I'm Michael Brown.
00:15Today we're going to talk about all the lies and rumors
00:17you've ever heard about cat ladies.
00:19We're talking to modern women with cats right now.
00:23What are like the cute traits from New York, Heather,
00:26you're just like, makes you know?
00:27Yeah, I have a problem that's called cute aggression.
00:29I've actually looked it up.
00:30It's a real thing.
00:31It's a real thing.
00:32It's like, you know how parents say they want to eat their babies?
00:34And it's how I feel about my cat.
00:36Like sometimes she gets so cute that I get like frustrated
00:38and I just want to squeeze her, but I don't.
00:42Peeta, don't come for us.
00:44What's the weirdest thing your cat has ever done?
00:47Running around wild at 2 a.m.
00:49She can see ghosts and she's chasing them around.
00:51I'm like, I better be scared out.
00:53Do you think you can like speak cat?
00:54Meow.
00:57I would like to give you a gold star and if someone can bring in a gold star right now?
01:02No, it's a Russian blue.
01:05Here, Cat Chat, we like to make dreams come true.
01:07So let's talk about cat lady fashion.
01:09I have my shirt, my socks.
01:12This was my kitty cat buggy's ID tag, but she's no longer with us.
01:16I have this kitty cat face, kind of abstracted, and I got this on Etsy.
01:22I searched for cats and bikes.
01:24You know what I think?
01:25What?
01:26That answer deserves a gold star.
01:28Oh!
01:28The cats.
01:30Hi.
01:35Can we have a gold star, please?
01:37You get a gold star just for being here.
01:39I'm a gold star.
01:44I'm gonna have a really hard time paying attention to you now.
01:46That's okay.
01:47No, it's totally okay.
01:48Let's ask a serious question.
01:49How do you feel about the situation in Syria?
01:52What?
01:53That's the effect of cats.
01:55If I end up single alone as an old lady that has like 10 cats, I think that's awesome.
02:02So what are some cat-like attributes that you wish all humans should adopt?
02:06More people should not give a fuck.
02:08My lips say fuck?
02:09Yeah, because that's a gold star.
02:11Ah!
02:12Cats really, unlike dogs, they don't really care what you think of them.
02:16I got it.
02:16I got you.
02:17Oh my god!
02:18What else?
02:19Like, terrorism, go.
02:23I can't right now.
02:24There's a cat in my lap.
02:26So, um, what do you feel about reproductive rights?
02:29What?
02:30Why do you like them so much?
02:31Oh, I like them?
02:32Yeah.
02:32They're like really gross.
02:34Oh, the kittens are cute because they're little and then they grow up to be unfortunate.
02:40Gotcha.
02:41I'm sorry.
02:42Thanks for coming.
02:43I'm sorry you don't like cats, but this is cat chat, so.
02:46I didn't know the premise.
02:48Okay, well.
02:49Bye bye.
02:50Have a good day.
02:51Cha-cha.
02:52Bye bye.
02:54Let's get a gold star in here.
03:00A lot of people try to adopt animals and then they're not ready and they don't understand
03:05that it's like a 15-year commitment.
03:07It's not just like you're bored in college.
03:08I wish I had another gold star for you.
03:10I mean, you can just pick any of them.
03:12Oh, there's another gold star because that's a great answer.
03:15So, now I'm going to introduce the cat chat challenge, which is where we see who can draw
03:20the best cat while a cat is on their lap.
03:28Oh, oh no.
03:29Oh, oh no.
03:30Oh no.
03:30Oh no.
03:31Wait, I'm done though.
03:32Um.
03:32Wait, oh no, I'm not.
03:33Hold on.
03:34Wait, shh.
03:36It's okay.
03:36It's okay.
03:37Okay, let's see.
03:38Okay, time's up and now we're going to see who drew the best cat.
03:43Okay, so.
03:45Oh, you're like a bikini.
03:46Yeah, so mine is taking back the beach.
03:49This is my cat on a desert island, but it's happy though.
03:53And this guy, I tamed him.
03:55Which one of these cats are Donald Trump?
03:58Where's that mean one?
04:00This one can be Bernie.
04:03Why?
04:04He's a nice progressive kitty.
04:10Which cat would get re-elected?
04:12That one because he's very vocal.
04:13Yeah, this is our Obama.
04:15That's Obama.
04:16I miss you.
