“Hey” “Can you shut up?”

“Can I work here” “Sure” “Thanks”

My cat usually goes missing for like 2 weeks and comes back unscathed, but two years ago he just up and left and never came back. I hope he's now the worlds best barber

there’s something so familiar and nostalgic about this art style.

_"hey can i work here"_ _"sure"_ *wish life was that easy.*

Video: "cat city" Cat city: *only has one cat*

Definitely think the screaming voice he hears at night is his own conscience regretting him leaving his home. When he tells it to shut up, he’s come to the conclusion he needs to return home.

This is one of my favorite videos on KZfaq that I find myself constantly coming back to. For me the part that brings me comfort is that the cat can go and have an adventure, his family still loves him and are looking for him. And when he decides to go back home, they accept him back no questions asked. I think everyone wishes they had someone, a family to run to when things get too hard.

"hey can I work here" "Sure!" "Thanks"

Actual representation of when your cats dips for a month then comes back like nothing happened

He just needs a white noise machine

I love how there is two types of people in this comment section, one half is trying to break the video's meaning down and understand its deeper message and the other half is just like "hee hoo kitty cat"

He ignored that little problem so much until it ruined his life gosh that's damn sad

This is like some lost MTV pilot from the 90s.

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW INCREDIBLE THE ANIMATION STYLE IS I WAS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK WATCHING

Showed this to my cat, never ran away again

*Cat hears scream becomes an alcoholic and gets fired*

I love that the solution to the screaming was so simple but the cat didn't do anything about it until it was too late.

1:18 honestly tho the manager a g for not snitching on the cat here

my cat has been missing for 2 months, hope she is a good barber.

1:42 I like how that woman was just patting the cats back like: *its ok sometimes*

I really enjoyed the (jazzy) vibes of this. Just felt rich. The music overpowered the voice acting a little tho

He wanted to escape his past and start a new life. But he let his regrets drag him down, down until he succumbed. He had no choice but to embrace his past.

"Auaaaaaauauaa" "Hey can you shut up?" Yelling ends forever ●¿●

Screaming girl: *"I'm about to ruin this cat's whole career"*

One thing I really like about your animations is how they all pretty much seem to represent a cycle of some sort. It’s beautiful and relatable

"can i work here?" "sure" "thanks!" I wish it was that easy

_[yelling]_ "Hey." "Can you shut up?"

This has that 90s cartoon they played at night vibes

This reminds me of a 2000s show that you just find on your tv and you don’t know what channel it is

I LOVE UR ARTSTYLE SO MUCH like the way you do curvy perspectives and stuff

This video gives off: “It’s late, and I shouldn’t be on this channel at this time” kinda vibes

“Hey. Can you shut up?” My favorite quote in the whole entire world

This looks like those shows you'd watch at 3 am as a kid.

"hey can u shut up" *walks away* this is so funnt to me

"Hey, shut up." *NOISE RATES DROPS TO 0%*

“hey. can you shut up.” inspirational lines

This animation is my favourite for years already/ I still haven't seen anything better and captivating than Cat City

*how a girl screaming ruined a speaking cat's life causing him to go back home to his family*

There's a disturbing lack of cats in that city.

Ohh... So that's where cats go when they runaway from home. All makes sense now!

Idk if I could have related to this anymore than I do right now. The whole being on your own trying to make it, the pestering screams of 'shit this don't work', the drinks to try and drown the noise out, being fired and going back home. Damn..

If your cat ran away and didn't come back for a few days this is basically what happened

I thought the screaming was the girl crying, looking for her cat. I was confused when it ended up being a random kid .

the music is soo great

"Hey, can you shut up?" random barber cat 2017-

Imagine being the kid that screams every night and just see a cat coming up to you and he says hey can you shutup

飼い主が職場に探しにきて焦ってるところめっちゃかわいい

Ya'll aren't giving them enough credit because this was the best thing I've watched on yt omg!

Cat:"I have a good life!" Screaming girl:"Im gonna end this cat's whole career"

you must learn an appreication for *freeform Jazz*

That cat hell of a barber. Congrats

ohhhh, so that's what cats do when they randomly go missing then turn up at the front door 2 weeks later lol

"Cat City is a movie about a cat who runs away from home to start a new life in the city. The cat is trying to live on his own, but his life away from home isn’t what he imagined it would be. Despite his initial success, he becomes disillusioned by the whole ordeal rather than finding fulfillment or happiness. He becomes depressed due to lack of sleep and the repetitive nature of his life, and he turns to alcohol to cope with the stress. It all goes downhill from there. I wanted to portray a world where a character’s experience in the physical world is a reflection of their emotional turmoil. In a way, it parallels my own experience of growing up and leaving home to pursue what I thought was my dream, and then slowly realizing it wasn’t what I thought it would be." -Victoria Vincent

That one kid in the street: *I end this mans whole career*

Thank God he got to tell that child to shut up before he was evicted

so, this is what cats do when they leave the house

The guy at the shop saying “ you’re fired “ sounds weirdly calming

Everyone’s focusing on the artwork, I’m focused on the bop of a soundtrack.

this cat just speedruned life

"Hey can i work here?" "Sure" "Thanks" Wish it was that easy 😟

As a cat who ran away from home to pursue the hair cutting industry, I can confirm that this happens

At first, I thought the screaming person is the owner that is looking for the cat or screaming out of pain of missing it so much :D

I love love love love LOVE this kind of art styles !!!!!! It reminds me.of the old Cartoon Network days Thank you for this beautiful work ❤❤❤❤

I think the meaning behind this cartoon is that there is no deeper meaning, everything should be taken literally

_”hey can I work here?”_ *”sure”* _”thanks”_ **makes one customer unhappy** *”you’re fired.”*

I wish this was a TV show so bad I love the vibe

ohmygod i've been looking for this for ages this animation is SO ASTONISHINGLY GOOD

this video is so disorienting and i love it. the bendy environment and loose linework. the music that overpowers everything else at times, the general confusion from the weird plot of it. this is a true work of art

His whole expression was just: 👁_👁

I clicked on this because the opening shot of cat city looked like hey Arnold and I am not disappointed. Very 90s feel, along with the zippy jazz track.

i love the vibe of your animations, its just perfect

I ducking love the style of this. Serving me late 90’s early 2000’s Cow And Chicken/ Courage The Cowardly Dog vibes. Very nostalgic.

He changed so much and tried so hard to escape something positive in his life for freedom. A trade off that sounds terribly bitter sweet. And to come home defeated and genuinely lost to open arms.. Feels good man. Feels bad man.

I watch this video time to time many years since it came out. Love it! It’s so hell good

I think about this short film A LOT ... it just had that kind of effect on me

*Hey, can you shut up?* *MOOD*

This is one of my favorite art styles

Whenever I see the cat not being able to sleep is something that keeps hunting my head That sense of guilt is what I think the cat feels and so do I

"Hey, can you shut up?" I can't breathe

Nobody: KZfaq recommends: cat with psychosis

Glad to know that my lost cat may work in barbershops in other cities

This summarizes the last 5 years of my life pretty much.

Why is no one taking about the animation itself the style is quite amazing

My grandma's cat was gone for five years and recently just casually strided back into my grandma's house and this was probably how his life went no doubt. update: the cat went missing again. welp, guess i'll have to wait another 5 years for him to come back again lmao another update: guys I know you're worried for the cat but as many commenters have already guessed, I doubt he's actually gonna come back. When he did, he was visibly frail and a bit grey. He's an old cat, and as many have said, he might've just came back to say his last goodbye.

This was ALMOST the greatest thing I've seen this year, and that's cause i watched Gladiator

“hey can you shut up” amazing quote

The story is basically, the adult life when you move out of home. The depiction is clear, too lazy to explain but. You want something, then work. Living alone, having fun at night. But the city life is noisy, unpeaceful. An everyday repeat, occasionally there's something new, but otherwise it's just a repeated cycle in that life. Girl finding the cat is your first home before you grown out, your parents or loved ones, theyre missing you everyday. City life as an adult is fun, you could do everything you want as long as you can, but some things just get tiring, especially when everytime it's like that, unless it's your passion. I don't have anything against barbers, but clearly, some jobs you work on is not really want you want or your passion in your life, some of us are just forced on circumstances.

Love this artist, his videos are either to be taken almost literally, in a playful perspective, or terribly complex, full of simbols that let you identify with the characters. Either way, this lucid dream atmosphere has become a drug for me.

Most realistic dipiction of what cats go through when they run away

"Hey, can you shut up" *It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable.*

this is my personal favorite of yours. thanks.

some professional stuff, I love it, reminds me of the late night hours at my aunts house when I could stay up past my bed time and watch like nick toons and danny phantom and invader zim and build with my Legos but I just liked the nighttime tbh

No one: Random girl in the street: “AAAAAHHHHHHHH!”

cat: who gon check me boo? screaming girl: 👁👄👁

this video unlock the memories i never know i have

This video randomly appears in everyone's recommendations once or twice a year, totally disappears, and then comes back the next year 💀

I feel like the child screaming represents him missing his childhood. Eventually he gets tired of the adult life and decides to move back.

Fix the problem before it becomes your problem.

This is THE ART! the animation is amazing and the style it s ASTONISHING!
