Sunday Catinee: Can Somebody Explain Why My Video Was So Popular?

Sparkle's Sunday Catinee


This is sort of an unofficial Sunday Catinee day because I basically just have a question about this video and videos on Facebook in general. A few days ago, my human was trying to take a nap and I was sitting on top of her, kneading the black fleece blanket she was using. Since there was no way she was going to be able to sleep, she took a video with her iPhone and immediately posted it on my Facebook page. And it got a boatload of views — at over 2,500, it’s not exactly viral, but it’s still a lot. And I’m basically just doing the same thing over and over again for 37 seconds. Watch:

I don’t get why it was so popular! And it is that way with the other couple of crappy-looking videos I’ve had on my Facebook page. I’m basically doing next to nothing and everybody wants to take a look. I get the feeling that my human could post a video of me digging around in the litter box and people would flock to it. (I hope that does not give her any ideas!) The same videos, posted to YouTube don’t get anywhere near as much attention. Can any of you figure out what the big deal is?


(Bonus points for you if you noticed Binga fur in the lower right hand side of the video. That’s the other reason my human’s nap got ruined.)
