still from Neko Funjatta Dancing Black Cats by Yamato
It’s a 2016 version of Ballet Zoom Cats. And it’s just as awesome…
Penelope Kitten is busy hanging disco ball ornaments all over the house.
Cynthia enters.
Cynthia: Hey P! Watcha doinn’ with all our disco ball ornaments?
Marcy (outraged): Why do we have so many disco ball ornaments?!
penelope kitten(squeaking): gettin’ ready for my dance party.
Cynthia: Here?
penelope kitten: yeah yeah. can’t find my strobe lights tho.
Penelope Kitten disappears into the closet.
Cynthia (to Marcy): What is she doing?
Marcy: She wants to throw a dance party ever since she saw this crazy video of humans dressed up as dancing black cats.
Cynthia: We already saw that video.
penelope kitten (squeaking from the closet): nope. it’s new.
Cynthia: Oh my gato! That was amaaazing! Gasp… Are we really going to throw a dance party?
Marcy: Apparently. She invited all the neighborhood cats. And a couple of dogs too.
Cynthia: How fun! I’ll get into my glitter dress and blue wig! She stops. I wonder where my 2005 Dance Mix Compilation tapes could be?
Cynthia rushes off.
penelope kitten: yay. found the strobes.
We hear a giant crash as disco ball ornaments come rolling out of the closet.
penelope kitten (squeaking): oops.
Marcy (dodging disco ball ornaments): WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY DISCO BALL ORNAMENTS?!
=^..^=
*Video Backstory*
This crazy cat video was created by the Japanese shipping company,Yamato Transport, to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Yamato Transport black cat in the box
Their logo is a black cat carrying her kitten.
Yamato Transport black cat logo
Because of this logo they are often referred to as Kuroneko (black cat in Japanese).
And oh my gato do they work it! Not only have they created that awesomely bizarre dance video above, they recently installed a giant black cat plushie in Tokyo train stations that dispenses cat toys when you press his nose!
Oh yes. They did.
As Penelope Kittten always says – #blackcatsrule
And Marcy always says – #notheydon’t and #sostupid

I am so annoyed when I don’t think of these things first.
I NEED a giant-black-cat-toy dispenser. For serious.
I NEED a cat costume to get my dance on. (Kitteh hustle, anyone?? 😉 )
At first, I was with Marcy — why do you need/have so many disco balls?
Then I realized, the question answers itself… 😀
Yes! We all need these things! Including hundreds and hundreds of disco ball ornaments!!
xo,cynthia
I only have ONE disco ball ornament. The vid is kewl, what we really are dying to see though is a pic of you in the blue wig and glitter dress….
that’s not allowed on the blog.
meow, marcy
Penelope, am I invited? That video got me practcing my dance moves and I’m ready,
If I were going to ship something i would definitely go with black cat. How can you not trust a company that makes captivating videos and installs a public cat toy dispenser?
yeah yeah please come
wear ur dancing shoes
squeak, penelope kitten
I didn’t realize that kitties were such versatile dancers. I will have nightmares about this.
good.

LOL I’m convinced there must be subliminal messages hidden in there somewhere, and we’re all being brainwashed as we watch it. So entrancing! And I kind of want a kitty mask and glittery slip dress.

Yes! You must be right! There must be subliminal messages!
You would look fab in a kitty mask and glittery slip dress!
