Video goodness: Patient cats allow tangerines to be stacked on their paws

In only a few days, the video above has been viewed more than 25,000 times. How can we account for that? In short, we can’t -- but we can offer the observation that the stacking of objects on cats seems to be hypnotic to a certain breed of Web-surfing pet lover.

After all, that very concept spawned not only the popular website StuffOnMyCat.com, but also a book, a calendar and even a companion site devoted to things stacked on dogs.

Let’s face it, folks: People love stacking things on their pets. And if there’s one thing people love more than stacking things on their pets, it’s fruit: delicious, nutritious fruit. (Hat tip to the Daily What, whose Afternoon Snack post Monday alerted us to these patient -- or catatonic -- kitties.)
