Autotune the Cats
In honor of Bagel’s birthday today, here is a video of Autotuned cats meowing.

Roller coasters, Pakistani food, dated 3D rides, and animal portraiture. You know, the usual.
Hello all! I’m back from a very fun and stomach-destroying trip to Florida with Kumail’s family, where we lived it up at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, ate tons and tons of spicy food, and played hours of ping pong. We rode every major coaster and 3d ride at both parks, and Universal, may I say something?
Ummmm, the Terminator 2 ride that mixes 3d video with live people pretending to be the people in the 3d video, namely Linda Hamilton, the Governator, and Edward Furlong? We’re not buying it. It’s a bit dated and has to ignore both the current state of the actors (MIA, governor, and drug addict, respectively), as well as the fact that any of the other Terminator movies happened. And as much as we all want to do that, it’s not possible.
But I digress, every other ride was completely amazing, especially Dueling Dragons and the Spiderman ride. Oh! I also loved the Men in Black ride (which may become a generic “alien fighting ride” as more and more parents have to explain to their kids what the Men In Black are). The point is, I highly suggest getting on a roller coaster as a grownup.
Anyway, I have lots of things to catch myself and all of you on, but for now, if you live in Brooklyn and have a pet that you adore, you should get a portrait done at Brooklyn Pawtraits.
Pay close attention to the dog on the right. It will soon be art.
Voila!
Are we seriously thinking about getting one of Bagel? Of course we are.
Now this is science…adorable, adorable science.
Make sure you check out the July 14th issue of Current Biology, because there’s a scorcher of a research paper in it! “The cry embedded within the purr” encapsulates Karen McComb’s studies on the purrs of cats, inspired by her own cat Pepo.
uYou cannot handle the cuteness of Pepo
What they figured out is that cats know the effects their purrs are having and use those purrs to get things they want.
SOS
The daffiness of this video has completely destroyed me. This is a very serious WWI era cat trying to message the rest of his squadron.
Good lord, Cute Overload. Do you ever stop?
The lesson here is: sometimes you gotta go after what you want, even if there’s a big terrifying predator snarfing you
This is my meat and I am going to eat it!
Jeeeez, say it don't spray it- you made me drop my meat chunk!
You done? You sure? Alright, fine.
