A mystical cat trying to channel a dead mouse's spirit. Will he succeed? Will he fail? Who cares, it's a talking cat!

This kitty knocks over dominos to reveal a Christmas Tree pattern.

Russia has added so much to world culture, from the films of Alexander Sokurov to the comedy stylings of Yakov Smirnoff. Russia's most recent contribution? A circus populated by cats. Russians eat it up—and now, so do we.

This adorable kitty somehow climbed up to the top of this Christmas tree and refuses to get out.

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen... but did you know that they are crazy high? In Scandinavian Lappland, Sami herders have shared psychotropic mushrooms with their animals for centuries; a possible explanation for Santa's flying reindeer.

Who does this cat think s/he is?! Riding around on a self-cleaning device, taking swipes at anything that crosses its path. It's pretty safe to say that cats are the jerks of the domesticated animal kingdom.

People still don't believe we come from these guys? Here is further proof. This monkey can play Pac Man— and he isn't that bad at it. Somewhere Charles Darwin is saying "I told you so."

This cat approaches a mechanical singing christmas tree cautiously only to be scared stiff by its motion detector. Watch it jump super high in shock.

This video is further evidence that puppies can do just about anything and still be considered cute. The loose translation of the anchors on-air discussion is "Man that's smelly, happy holidays."

Getting tons of people to react the same way to a plush toy on a stick is highly rewarding. Watch this master class on harmless pranking.

This cat scuba dives in a specially made suit.

Watch this anteater drink wine straight from the cup.

This guy must be sweaty or something because there is no other reason to be startled by a deer. A chance encounter with a deer should be like those scenes in Stand By Me or The Queen.

These gorillas get the equivalent of an Easter egg hunt when their handlers hide cupcakes all over their home. Watch them discover and eat them. Yummmm. Cupcakes.

Watch this cat delicately crawl in and out of a standing glass bottle without knocking it over.

Farmers attached lights to their sheep and had their sheepdogs herd them into different shapes with amazing results.

New developments in the study on the connection between humans and primates: both species like to bone recklessly on cars. All in the name of science...and baboon porn.

The best pranks use a tired cliche, like a costume, and give it a new spin, like "Gorilla where there normally would not be a gorilla."

This cat tries to dominate a rabbit, but the rabbit clearly asserts who is boss.

A zany piece of the American video heritage: old-timey collegiate canines primp and prep before a big football game in human style: lifting weights, shaving, placing bets, and avoiding physical injury from their uptight Bulldog bookie.
