There's no denying the fact that viral videos make the Internet go round. They're mindless escapes from every day life and some of them even make you chuckle at just how ridiculous and random life can be.

But viral videos are meant for the Internet -- and the Internet only. And once a multi-million-viewed mindless video has been somehow leaked into the real world and transformed into a product, stuff gets pretty crazy. Like the Keyboard Cat, for example.

For those who are unfamiliar, the viral video was uploaded on YouTube in 2007 and has almost 20 million views to date. Oh, and it's of a real-life cat, wearing a blue tee-shirt and making music on a keyboard. But he's not really making music on a keyboard. He's just kind of sleepily standing there while his ridiculous owner moves him around from underneath while an automatic song plays in the background. We're telling you: mindless.

In any case, the Internets has spoken and it has decided that Keyboard Cat should be readily available to the brick-and-mortar world. So now there's a toy based on the viral vid. See for yourself here:



And if you have yet to see the original "Keyboard Cat" video here it is. Don't say we didn't warn you.

    I had a cat when I was really young, that would let us do anything like this to her. She just loved the attention. We didn't have a keyboard, or we might have had her "play" something like this. Animals are so awesome! My pet parrot used to get a golf ball, take it to the top of his cage and drop it. He taught my husband how to fetch! We nearly died when he got liver cancer. Two years ago, and I am still weeping for his loss. He was wonderful while he lasted.

    i can't believe the guy who made this "mindless" video is cashing in on it. Whether he made a million or a couple hundred bucks. I took he minor effort to come up with this idea, probably out of boredom. The poor cat doesn't even get a cut

    If we make a toy or movie out of every viral video that shows up at our doorstep, we can't be sitting around blaming television and videogames on people's short attention spans. Just look at the attention span of the toy companies these days!

    But I think all these animal playing toys. I also think the original was a fake and that's why he had a own a shirt because those were two fake arms with someone underneathe moving the,. The arms and movements just don't look real.
  • Staind_... san 2011/10/10 15:59:08

    well, it was obviously fake and I completely agree with you on that. I just have to point out that those could be the cat's arms. If you hold the back part of a cat's arms the right way it won't be able to mave them, and the become straight like that.

    I thought they were trying to pass it off as him really playing. One time, some guy faked a picture, that made his house cat look like it was the size of a big dog.

    haha that would be funny, and I understand where your coming from. I didn't mean to make you sound stupid or anything, I just wanted to let you know about the arm-thing. Hope you didn't get offended :3

    It was funny the first time and quite tiresome after that. The music creeps in to my head and makes me twitch and drool, why would I want that in a toy? As Bill the Cat would say.........ACK!!!!

    I don't know, this looks so false that it just looks sort of awful. But, I love watching real animals doing cute things on their own...things that are capture by video that no one taught them to do.
