Kittens. Nature's candy. Wait, no, that's raisins. But they are fascinating, and this short seeks to unravel the mystery that is the kitten like a fuzzy ball of yarn. Not unlike the balls of yarn that would be played with by... A KITTEN. Oh, they are an enigma. What drives them? What motivates them? And why do they want to bring the half-dead mouse to my bed before they will eat it? This short will answer not one of those questions, but there will be many, many shots of tiny, fuzzy kittens. This iRiff includes the video; no syncing necessary!
Dedicated to my two cats, Tiger and Jiji.
Script and performance by Matt Nelson.

This is a fun little short from 1938 apparently. Basically it is about a mother cat and three kittens. Seems like one of the odd little shorts from the old MST3K days. Matt does a great job with it. Some great jokes. Low price. well worth the .75 cents. 5/5
I had a lot of fun with this one, being a big cat lover (meaning variously that I am big and a lover of cats, that I love cats of large size, and that my love for cats is greater than most). One thing I didn't really touch on, though, was that for a supposed educational short, it does seem sort of... pointless? Other than having lots of footage of very cute kittens, though. :)
This is enjoyable, but then it starts out strong simply by being a video of cute kittens. Many years ago I had a cat who looked a lot like the mother cat in this short. When watching the short, I couldn't help but think that anyone who *had* any cats would already know pretty much everything that the short talked about. But it's a fun short, and would be enjoyed by cat-lovers of all ages. Nice job!
The "joke" at one point is definitely true; I simply didn't have anything funny to say because of how darn cute they were!
As someone who has not been all that impressed by a lot of Iriffs... this one is definitely a keeper. Very strong throughout and gosh darn those kittens are cute!
The kittens make it easy for you; they're an endless source of comedy gold!
This was better than a can of tuna washed down with a bowl of milk.
Good job.
