Lampshades on Fire (2015)

Music Artist: Modest Mouse

Directed by: Jorge Torres-Torres

Synopsis: The music video for this Modest Mouse song is composed of a series of intriguing and bizarre images.

Kitty Cameos: As most of the images in this video, the cats appearances are fleeting. The first is a longhair calico who is seen for just a few seconds.

The second is a ginger tabby being petted by a woman.

The most notable cat moment happens when a man tosses the calico off a porch in slow motion. A white cat with tabby markings being held just below is fortunately not being thrown.

Note that some of the imagery in this video may be off-putting to some, so viewer be aware!

Final Mewsings: Cats don’t want to be video stars bad enough to have to fly for it.
