  • That was good.

  • The female looks like my cat Toby's mom. Interesting they do show the process of birth of the kittens even at that early time. Also I like the way they seem to tell the story of the events without narration from a cat's eye view. I had taken care of a couple of strays, the female had babies before we could catch them and get them fixed. The male was indeed great at helping her with her SIX kittens. Found homes for every one and I kept the male cat, who was a wonderful house kitty.

  • OMG THIS IS THE VERY FIRST LOLCAT MOVIE PRODUCTION OF ALL TIME!!

  • This is the most beatiful thing i've ever saw on youtube.

  • Omg whoa how do you get 20 minutes?!

    And this is great! The kittens are ADORIBLE!

  • Hi Rachel,

    To get it all to fit at 21:45 and still (barely) fit into 100 megs was a LOT of compression experimentation...

    I wanted to see if it could be done, without losing substantial resolution. Thank you for the Kudos!

    Best regards,

    Mark

  • It is so beautiful, the way the male cat shares in the life of the mother cat and kittens.How he jumps into the box with them and plays with the kittens. My cat used to twich its' tail like that for the kittens to play with. Great!
