The Petting Zoo: The Week’s Top 10 Animal Videos

I'm currently looking for an apartment and today I saw one with a few strangers and the current owners of the apartment we were being shown (stay with me, it's worth it) (haha, it's not worth it, I lied, skip 2 the videos!) were babysitting a cat. One of the current owners said, "Yeah, I don't think I'll ever want a cat again after babysitting this one," and one of the guys who was also seeing the apartment said, "You got your fix?" And the girl replied, "Oh...Yeah, he's fixed." And then that was the end of the conversation! Hahahahahahaah. YOU HAD TO BE THERE, just kidding, it was never something worth mentioning, but you know those times when you're on the outside of a conversation and you hear a miscommunication and you know that that miscommunication will never get solved, and it'll just linger in the air until each party forgets? Those are the best times. I love 'em. I'm lovin' them. Get your cats fixed! OK, LET'S WATCH ANIMAL VIDEOS NOW!

1. The Magic Word

"The Magic Word" is number one because it is just TOO true, and honesty is one of the most important elements of animal video making. Same goes for #2. And #3. "Baby Pancake And Watermelon" is a little contrived, but cute enough that it gets a pass. And you won't believe how mad I got when the camera panned away from the fighting monkeys, BUT THE VID IS STILL SO GOOD! CONGRATS EVERYONE!
