You tell me what you make of this, please. It seems to be a microphone, quite a large microphone, being thrust into the face of a domestic cat to try and record what the cat might say in response to what is happening. No doubt it is meant to be amusing. There is also no doubt that a cat would object to this quite quickly, as happened in this instance.

I believe that the idea for the video comes from the forthcoming new film based on Cats, the theatrical, musical production which has been so popular in major cities, composed by Lord Lloyd Webber.
I suppose the video maker wanted the cat to give his or her views on the film by meowing or something like that. Something silly basically but amusing at the same time. Anything to get some views from a cat video. The video maker succeeded as it has been seen 2 million times. You can guess what my thoughts are about it.
I agree with you Michael, this is just obnoxious. Tiny microphones work; there’s no need for this.
