[stoLenLogic9]

[HelenaNV]

The curls on that boy are lush.

[RobouVideos]

[LoveSwedishGirls]

Cute cat^^

[boonba]

This film was uploaded on YeTube.



[Cristinarocks98]

kittehs were still cute back thenn :3

[macroevolve]

What's funny is - if the cats were instantly transported to 2011, they wouldn't know the difference. lol

[KalikaInLeather]

@macroevolve what a strange thought lmao

[JBicks18]

@macroevolve 1903: Cat walks across typewriter: asdjkerop

2011: Cat walks across laptop: afdlijhadsf

No difference! lol

[4KidsHater599]

100

[lovedandlucy]

Is it just me or do these videos seem to move faster than normal?

[UTubeVideoBuzz]

With the Technology WE have Today - Their Should Be NO diseases, a Cure for ALL - Lets Face It ... it tooks Brains To Create Technology why not a CURE or Is Their TOO MUCH Money To Be Made in Temporary Methods ???

[siamesecatz]

Not only did people look different and dress different but I think that kitten look different too. The eyes and mouth looks different, and the look small too. Awesome! This has honestly made my day. :) <3

[DookieSong21]

the cat is still alive

[GenesisTree]

@DookieSong21 Yeah I hear its gonna star in the next Harry potter film.

Idk tho. He's gotten so stubborn since his midlife crisis in the 1970's.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Such an adorable video. A very cute kitten.

[gfks11]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam

WONDERFULLLLLLLL LIA!!!!

[CorrectSuspicion]

The cat is like 30 years older than my granddad.

[TenshiKodaikon]

she should've sung:

"Soft kitty, warm kitty little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty purr purr purr"

[MyMyMyTelephone]

so sad thinking that poor little kitten is long dead by now...

[SuperTickledPink]

@MyMyMyTelephone i was so thinking that exact thing earlier when i saw this :(

[jonasmania2008]

aw!!! cute little kitty!!!!!

[mygreatlovenova]

It is so cute watching the kitty drink from a spoon.

[whitedwarf13]

Slash from Guns and Roses as a child.

[wsbtam]

LOL Aww.

[whitecrab]

the boy's face scares a bit untill he takes off his hat.. although it's kinda funny that movie making technology developed in over 100 years.. must be tremendously amazing for those old people to watch world changes..

[IMZEECATMAN]

when i saw this, i thought it was gonna be sad, but all this is, is a kitten getting taken care of, i like it. i LOVE silent films!

[Lemon020202]

hahahaaa. cute. wow....is it me or do cats/kittens look different 108 years ago. lol

[4fitter27]

Very charming, and great picture quality!

[BlueSoulJim]

film's so friggin old that not even those kids and kittens are alive!

[Lemon020202]

@BlueSoulJim lol...those kids are great-great grandparents to some people. lol.

[mattybock]

where is the interneting and what in the blazes is a youtube?

[scorpietta]

I love these old clips. It's like looking through a time capsule.

[scorpietta]

This is so cute! That kitty was adorable!

[FillionDollarSmile]

Its strange... Watching all these Videos and thinking..

Wow.. All these people are dead now! They are so young in this video that you kinda forget.. There VERY! old people.. Probably older than most of your grandparents !

Thay have lived there life and left us..And somewhere there Great grandchilderen are walking about in 2010.. And they sit therein 1903 :)

[Lemon020202]

@FillionDollarSmile yup most people have grandparents that were born in 1939 and 1940 like me. i'm almost 30! my mother born in 1958 No way can you have grandparents that were alive in 1903 unless you are aleast 50 or 60! My Great-parents were born in 1918 and 1920. These children were probable born around 1894 cause its from 1903, they would be great-great-grandparents. WOW

[osallent]

@FillionDollarSmile Yes, and one day we too will be dead, and our great-grandchildren will be watching a few of our "classic movies" and perhaps some of the videos we put online on youtube. I wonder what they will think about us?

[myUTubeVideoss]

I wonder if that cat survived after being nursed

[Chameleonardodavinci]

The kitten is so adorable. Look at it's little mismatched eyes... D'aaaaaaaw

[choconinny]

This kitten invented Om nom nom

[cprobosteuribe]

One of the first LoLcats ever

Great vid indeed

[panchopuskas1]

Got to be one of the nicest vids on youtube.

Oh, and can people stop reminding us of the bleeding obvious fact that they're now all dead.

[KawabrunoII]

They all dead, the sick kitten, the weird doctor , and sick kitten onwer Felicia

[TheTxBandit]

@KawabrunoII yeah, they're just about all in the same place by now...heaven, hell, or somewhere in between.

[vielsu]

It's not fish, it's 'fisick'- a child's spelling of 'physic' which is an old fashioned word for medicine.

Anyway, that kitten doesn't look sick to me!

[coolcoolcoolest]

sad to think that little boy and girl are now gone.

[GerbilEssences]

I CAN HAS MEDICINE ?

:O

[kiribula]

@GerbilEssences Omg stfu

[GerbilEssences]

@kiribula kthx bai!

[GGGunitNextLevel]

Did they deathed ? xD

[YuTubeOO]

Hard to believe 107 years old

[WankstaProductions]

It's sad to think that that cat is dead.

[FireToFlame]

This is so beautuful... Cats in 1903

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Girls and women must have went through hell back then. 90 degree weather and still they had to walk around wearing those freaking carpet dresses that came down to their feet, not to mention those stupid corsets. Then they would wonder why they fainted all the time.

[layde1]

Cuteness all round. A supposedly poorly kitten being clutched in the arms of a little child and being fed spoonfuls of fish (?) to make it better (although the cure looked suspiciously like milk to me). What a cute kitten and how lovely to see its sweet little face close up. The other cat (Mum, I presume) looked startled to see her kitten was not where she had left it and made a failed attempt to get her baby back.

[parakeetskeet]

kitteh :)

[evil300]

this is better than avatar

[JamesTKirkCobain]

@evil300 - I completely agree.

[kiribula]

@evil300 Obviously. That film is like the mullets dream.

[superpyromaniac]

@evil300 a monkey jizzing on a pine cone for 30 minutes is better than avatar

[GoldenSilents]

@evil300 ANYTHING's better than Avatar.

[tpno2005]

Did the kitten died?

[JoeDiert]

Uhh, yeah - or it would be over 107 yrs old now!

[lisam805]

The feel good hit of the summer!

[TheRussellicious]

lol this kitten is MORE THEN SICK now

[JackHauss]

Just think; You think this is old, kids have been doing this for cats for thousands of years. THOUSANDS! Thousands of years before Christ, thousands of years before the Egyptians, 10,000 years is the estimate.

[TheRussellicious]

this kitten is died about for 100 years goddammit!

[feckingbillgates]

What does it say on the bottle? Most likely to be FISH, but the H isn't clear.

[noxatracava]

Well, it might be funny, but it almost brought me to tears :)... The movie's so cute.

[SourApplez1211]

Poor kitten.

[1Morey]

1. I like that kid's hat and I want it.

2. I like the cat and i want it.

[Idsz]

lolcats 1900's

[weewees1]

cute film ...I think the mummy cat wants her kitten  though .

[OrganistGreg]

Haha, that's sweet. Kid taking off his hat in the end was funny too xxx

[knausspiano]

Simply love it !

[rakunus]

imdb says that it's from 1901. Which is it?

[feckingbillgates]

I suspect the BFI information is more likely to be correct.

[jonstfrancis]

that's wonderful. now i want to spoon feed a cat too :D

[IamCorgidan]

Did the Kitten Win The Super Bowl?????

[szuzmari]

This is a real dramatic play for children!

[Bethlc81]

That's like one of the sweetest and adorable vids. A true work of art :b

[MushroomMai]

Beuatiful :)

[Skurupmille]

Lol HQ.

[Captaincutmouth]

Not everyone who went to fight in WW1 died you idiot...

[malboll]

@Captaincutmouth  - please, you must introduce us to someone who is still alive ..

[yellowwitch1]

@Captaincutmouth most died in the years after with lung cancer because of the gases (my great grandfather did)

[Nightmonkey17]

The sad thing is the kid in the tophat would go on to die in WW1.

[chainsofdragons]

poor kitty

[r1pti]

lol why is the kitty "poor", it's being pampered and fed.

[MrPontiusPilate]

I think that's why they're pampering it.  :)

[naovi0]

extraordinariamente genial smith a quien no se le ocurrió hacer un primer plano para ver mejor las escenas :D

[HenryCovert]

this is awesome!!!

[rayito2005]

I love the cute kitten and the kids

[80stimeagain]

Thank you for sharing. good quality too for 1903. Aww, the kitten too cute.

[StareCalmo]

Aw, kitty! That was adorable, I'm going to spend some time with my cat now. What a cute short :-)

[RedCanSoda]

Interesting. I thought the earliest silent film to use a close up was D.W. Griffth's "Birth of a Nation".

[carolynan]

PURRFECT FILM  LOVELY THANKS

[theOlLineRebel]

I think this is all play-acting, as the kids demonstrate. I don't think the kitten was actually sick! I'm sure he survived OK. He looks quite healthy if you ask me.

[tatevali]

Looked quite healthy, you mean. I doubt he's anywhere near the acme of health now.

[feckingbillgates]

LOL, the film is 107 years old; yes the cat probably survived, but what difference does it make now?

[Deathfromabove5]

Is this real?

[eternalomdela86]

BFI Films kicks ass.

[XemoXmangoX]

awwz =] now thts cute

[nirvgardengod]

Adorable

[unhallowed45]

Superb lol

[testcardgirl76]

Too adorable for words! :-)

[12Zwolf]

Thank You For Posting; As the kitten is an actor(ess?), perhaps the kitten is pantomiming being ill? All in all, sound British production values all the way round!

Cheers!
