Your Adopted Pet Could be the Next Viral Video Sensation

Oh now this is hilarious. Hilarious enough to garner almost half a million views in four days. It’s a video from the ASPCA letting us know there are millions of viral videos…uh, animals…waiting to be adopted.

The video, created by Mekanism, features Nightline’s Dan Harris and his amazing hovering cat. When Dan leaves for work, Hovercat starts the party which, apparently, doesn’t end until Dan comes homes from work at the end of the day.

The cheeky play here, of course, is that pets aren’t just pets any longer. They’re viral videos waiting to happen. Whatever works. If it gets animals out of a shelter and into a home, we can’t really complain.
