Oldest Known Cat Video Was Made by Thomas Edison

The name Thomas Edison is practically synonymous with hilarious cats. But did you know he may have created the original “funny cat video?”

The Boxing Cats (featured above) was one of the earliest motion pictures produced by America’s first movie studio.

Sadly, the cats depicted in the film have been dead for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

Via The Atlantic.
