Broccoli Kitten Is The Paris Hilton Of YouTube Kittens

With nearly half a million views in less than a week, the broccoli-loving kitten known imaginatively as "Broccoli Kitten" is hands-down the Kitten Of The Week. But what's BK's real talent, other than that cute little noise he makes?:

And why is he named "Captain Pugwash"? Did he lick a pug while they were both on some sort of small-animal boat toy? And do people really get together and sit on the floor with cats (a gecko was also mentioned) and paparazzi them while saying new-agey things like "I told Anna last night that the photos when I'm with her or thinking about her seem to be much cuter than average." Get out of my morning kitten video, Shirley MacLaine! Also, as evidenced by the YouTube related videos section, LOTS of kittens like broccoli. Stop being famous just for being famous, Captain Pugwash, if that is your real military rank.

Please don't insult this cat by comparing it to Paris Hilton. The kitten has at least proven it can do something interesting on camera.

Ha! I can't believe how far and wide this video has gone! That's me in the video, holding the little Puggy. My husband named him after the british cartoon character of the same name. A quick Google image search will show how the kitten and his wide little fluff body sort of favors the Captain.

And yeah, when I have folks over visiting kittens or puppies (as they were that day), we usually do sit on the floor.

Anyway - it's been fun seeing Puggy plastered all over the 'net! Crazy!

And is not Puggy the heir to a large hospitality fortune? Case rested!

Great post!

"Get out of my morning kitten video, Shirley MacLaine!"

So. Funny. I have been laughing about that since I read it. (I was thinking a less funny version of the same thing.)
