It has been said that the Internet is the dog park for cat owners<\/a>. Sure, your kitty isn\u2019t likely to run an obstacle course or act frisky on command. But the web makes a great place for cat lovers of all kinds to swap tips and stories. And when those cute moments do happen? Catch them on video and, boom, you\u2019ve got an instant audience bigger than that spaniel at the dog park ever had. In honor of those compulsively-watchable cats of the Internet, we’ve helped to create the Video Kitty glassware series<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Video<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Product Development team<\/a> spent countless hours of research, combing through the endless supply of adorable online videos, in order to determine the most charismatic, most popular and most iconic types of celebrity cats.<\/p>\n

We then worked with artist Patricia Carlin<\/a> on how to capture that star quality, with its mix of undeniable cuteness and think-out-side-the-box, sit-inside-the-box attitude. <\/p>\n

\u201cRefuses to be Typecast\u201d<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s right. You can\u2019t pigeonhole a performer of this caliber. Unless you have an actual pigeonhole for it to climb into. Or a shoebox, cereal box, milk carton, or pretty much any container of any size. It\u2019s been proven before that, for a cat to find a place in your heart, it merely needs to find a place in your empty packaging.
\n\"Refused<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA Finely Nuanced Performance\u201d<\/strong>
\nA true cat celebrity is a master of subtlety. Extreme subtlety. Verging on laziness, even. But with the kind of artistic integrity that you\u2019ll never find displayed by their online rivals. That\u2019s right, sloths<\/a>\u2014we\u2019re calling you out. Because anyone can move slowly, but it takes genius to convey such a total disdain for effort.
\n\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cReady for a Close-up\u201d<\/strong>
\nA-List cats<\/a> maintain a very complex relationship with their fans. They\u2019re not going to pay attention to you just because you ask. But they will occasionally allow a devotee to massage their back, or provide them with food. And those times when a cat stares deeply into your eyes and wonders what you would taste like\u2014that\u2019s a kind of love, isn\u2019t it?
\n\"Ready<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCatapults to Stardom\u201d<\/strong>
\nUltimately, the cats that reach true stardom are simply different than the rest of us. And not just because we\u2019re different species. No, they are the beautiful ones. The risk takers. The ones with the courage and dignity to carry on, even as the paparazzi revels in their supposed failures. Also, totes LOLZ when tha fuzzy kitteh falls down. ROFL!
