Sparta, Mean Kitty, Blowin' up YouTube
This rap video by popular vlogger Cory "Safety Guy" Williams of SMP Films chronicles the adorably violent adventures of a bite-happy kitty named Sparta. Sparta is a young Egyptian Mau with an appetite for destruction and a penchant for sneak attacks on ankles. He is also super cute, especially when you are watching him from a distance and not one of the people or objects marked for involuntary perforation.
Since the video has gotten a million and a half hits and several thousand new subscribers for SMP Films, proud papa Williams has since posted this, a behind-the-scenes look at how Sparta came into his life. But how Sparta became so bloodthirsty? That, we may never know.

Horus the Cat: A Walking Tour
It's no secret to those who know me that I'm a cat person. At first, I thought that might be why I was so susceptible to the charms of this little romp, a wittily subtitled video of, well, a cat giving a walking tour of his home. A quick share around the TDR offices, however, confirmed that it's not just me -- Horus is, in fact, certifiably adorable. (Though oddly enough, the cats in my life were singularly unimpressed.)
While Horus' charms are undeniably a huge part of the video's appeal, extra points must be awarded for the really outstanding use of Raymond Scott's cartoony classic "Powerhouse" as the boisterous score to the kitty antics.
And the bookcase! Gotta love the bookcase.
