Orange Helmets and Giant Hamster Cookies

I've noticed a bunch of critter-related internet zeitgeist lately. Sure, everyone knows the "modern classics" like BadgerBadgerBadger and hamster dance, but there are new ones rolling in every day.

Hmaster Dance is going big business as well as heavily spoofed... see hamsterblast.com, where you blow up hamsters, or satanic hamster dance, which is backmasked and the hamsters have horns and blood.

Anyway, I can tell if a co-worker is snickering with their headphones on, they're usually watching a video of some kitty getting into a zany predicament.

StuffOnMyCat.com has, not surprisingly, pictures of cats with stuff on them.

Hamster Time (myspace video). Someone emailed me this video of a hamster eating a cookie.

Airborne Cats (flickr photoset). Pictures of cats jumping around.

and who can forget... Kitten Versus Frontrow (youtube video). A kitten being confused by a laptop.
