Boise hosts first-ever Internet Cat Video Festival

[IDemo]

BOISE -- Fuzzy felines frolicking on the Internet took center stage at Boise's Knitting Factory Friday.

The Internet Cat Video Festival is the first celebration of online cat videos we've heard of.

The event featured 85 cat videos spanning 75 minutes, including everything from six-second Vine videos to short kitty films, and everything meow-licious in between.

Interestingly, the world-famous keyboard cat was featured along with Will Braden, the creator of the "Le Chat Noir," who also hosted the event.
