I saw this fucking thing on Monday and it has completely ruined my life. The song plays in my head 24-7. I made the mistake of showing it to my wife, and now, even if I manage to free myself of it, she'll turn to me and say "Way 37! Let him stand on your kidneys" and the whole cycle starts over again.
Why, god, why? What the hell? And, speaking of god, am I wrong that this thing sounds like a hymn at the world's creepiest church?
I have to go give my cat a fish.

I tried to watch it when Jhonen posted it the other day. I could not watch it. I tried to skip forward and see if it turned into some kind of outre comedy thing in the later "ways." As far as I could tell, it did not. Now I am trying to make it stop existing, using my brain powers (like the TV kid in the Twilight Zone movie).

Yeah, but she's just fond of taking any old number and assigning it to whatever new cat-loving way she's worked out ("number 79: let him lick your eyebrows!"). She has no respect for cat-loving art.
Also, I'm terrified that you knew what Way 37 actually was.

Am I the only one that really likes this song? Granted, I'm not watching the video, but I've got it playing here in the background while I'm pottering about and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. And now I'm singing along to the intro and outro parts in a way similar to the Eddie Izzard routine about "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Yeah, thats it, this video is very christmassy in a very Hallmark kind of way; open fires and eggnog and green sweaters that are too warm and snow on the roof and stuff. Grandma's dozing in the rocking chair and this lovely song is emanating from a small radio, its notes suspended in the syrup-y air. Bliss.

Ironic Christian rock reference. Adorable OLD cat who has seen it all: been there, done that. Relentless loyalty to the formula...play it out and let the audience decide whether to click away, skip ahead, or hang in for the duration. It's art, dude. I love it.

Oh, god. I didn't make it past #2.
That thing is awful.

You have to hang on to the ten minute mark so you can feel the tendrils wrap around your brain and you can't look away and you can see eternity.
That's the sweet spot.

Youtube should track how many viewers view a video all the way through.

And then send them kind, politely worded emails suggesting where they can find professional help for their newly discovered, paralysing phobia of all things cat- or song-related.

I'm not the kind of guy who skips to the last page of a book because I can't stand the suspense, but for some reason I was powerfully compelled to skip ahead to 100 after about 20 ways.
I now feel hollow, empty, and slightly sticky.

If you cross your eyes slightly while staring at the "1☺☺ Ways to ♥ a Cat" screen you can merge the two cat faces into one.
The depth perception center of your brain will embrace the image of a disembodied cat head hovering half-way between your computer and your face. As you stare at it, like the void, it begins staring into you.
Behind it, to the left and right, are ghostly half-images of cat faces both there and not there, as if having escaped unobserved from some infernal quantum box.
You have 100 chances to experience the horror.

Actually, Way 37 is "Praise them lavishly,"
The music reminds me of Christian Praise Music. There are some groovy harmonies at the end.
Also, we very much admire the grumpy 'old cat' style stoicism.

My wife and I watched through number 3, then skipped to the middle to see if it got any better. It did not.

One YouTube comment says "Does anybody else picture Andy Richter singing this?", so now I've got that image too.

I actually got offended when they repeated one. I don't... how is this my life?
