Kitty-Whacking Video Making The Rounds
May 28 2009, Published 10:35 a.m. ET
The latest YouTube viral video is leaving viewers unsure whether to call PETA or grab a mallet.
The comedic sketch, called "Whack A Kitty," depicts a man (mockingly) hitting a pop-up kitty with a mallet. It is a take-off of the Whack-A-Mole games present at many Chuck E Cheese establishments. It has received upwards of 750,000 views in just three weeks.
Reads the caption from the uploader, user RBelluso: "It's time to play Whack-A-Kitty! It's like the game Whack-A-Mole on cute overload. We had a lot of fun making this video and so did the kittens. If anyone is interested, we still have one male kitten and the mother cat available for adoption. We are looking for good homes. Please contact me for more info.
