This video appears to be a – wonderful? disturbing? illegal? – piece of found footage / performance art involving cat drumming, an ironing board and a backing track. “Perhaps this was an audition tape sent to Joy Division when Ian died,” notes the Youtube submitter. A commenter adds, “i feel as if i have stumbled upon a lost city of gold.”

OK, on to the disclaimers:

1. DO NOT slap your cats unless you are certain that they are into that kind of thing, and even then don’t do it very hard, seriously guys!!!
2. DO NOT use any animal as a bongo unless everyone knows the safe word.

OK, let’s roll!
