An Icelandic news website has released a live, reality-style YouTube show featuring four, nine-week-old kittens living in a dollhouse stocked with bunk beds, toys and of course cameras.
They have the furniture I want, dammit.

All cats are best cats.
This is well known.

Usually, if I forward something from Metafilter along to my wife it's because I'm trolling her. Not this time.

Hopefully, there won't be any crossovers with NRK's Piip-show.

I see a mischievous tail. I'm guessing they're destroying the green room.

So "Kattholt" after Emil í Kattholti or does it have a different meaning in Icelandic? (Ronja kind of points in that direction...)

Yeah, its name comes from the Astrid Lindgren story. Kattholt would mean something like "Cat Hill" in Icelandic.

Okay, the kittens are now sleeping in their teeny tiny bunk beds, and I am in squee overload.
Thank you so much for posting this... I will be watching a lot of Kattarshians in the days ahead. Pity they have to grow up.

Around 2am here the kitties were sleeping but two of the stripey ones were curled up together! Right now they're stirring a little in the tiny bunkbeds.

They are very energetic, and the set makes them seem even more so.
I like it when the get in the tiny globe chairs. I like to think they are plotting languorous evil then.
I mean, they are kittens, after all.

No, but only because we live in a Fallen World, stained with Murder and Corruption.

argh, they're almost always sleeping or in bed when I check in. Right now, 4 of them are in the pink upper bunk, and the tabby is alone in the blue bunk. Poor outcast.
