This video has become popular today as a short vignette about how cats are selfish and malicious and constantly interrupting your Important Human Business. Slice of life, right? We can all relate to those wacky cats! They're annoying as hell, but we love 'em anyway.
Well, that's certainly one (wrong) way of looking at it. The real protagonist of the video is the cat, who just saved us from another goddamn fucking ukelele cover of that "dentists and the dark" song.
He's not an asshole, he's a champion of taste and quality in a Vance Joy's "Riptide" world. The cat is the reason this video lasts 30 seconds instead of three-and-a-half minutes, which already makes him more likable than most people.

I never post it though.
I have a few friends I get to play for however.
I will have to admit however, that I can only applaud the cat on this one.
This was posted in the thread. It's cuter.

However, he has not yet gotten a ticket for being a public nuisance, unlike a bunch of people who stood on the steps of San Francisco's City Hall and played "Lady of Spain" for hours. That happened in the 1970s. I googled it.
If I had done that, I would be proud.
